Hurro, Jury Duty 2nd day at court, brought charger and listened to podcasts and snacked during recesses This week has been both fast and slow. I had jury duty for the first time and got selected to be a juror. I came with no expectations and left with respect, empathy, and insight. I've noticed how some people are so selfish and indifferent (those that were dismissed from jury selection), but also others who are moral and hold our laws to a high principle. As Americans, we really need to be grateful that we have the right to a trial and that 12 strangers spend X amount of hours and days to listen without bias and to be vigilant in upholding the laws.

And I did not plan nor pack my meals/snacks accordingly. One day I KILLED a Chipotle burrito bowl in one sitting cause I was famished and also had to rush to work ri...

Last time I did deadlift with my man friend, I got to surpass my mental and physical block of 135 lbs! Holy guacamole. For months I've been stuck and could NOT lift it off the floor at all. However, after a couple of weeks of not working on deadlifts, I was so shocked that I lifted 135 lbs with ease and actually went up to 155 lbs in one gym session. It was crazy I tell you! I can't believe I'm making these gains everywhere. Seeing progress like that really motivates me more and puts me on such a high because there's proof that my body is indeed changing and getting strong. It's an amazing experience even though I still feel like a noob at the gym sometimes. I wonder if I'll ever have that confidence at the gym (maybe when I finally get abs and can shamelessly walk around with a sports bra on, GLOAT). My work...

I've always seen it mentioned in the fitness world, but never really looked into it thinking it's just a hype or the next new fad. But I came upon a blog from LiveLifeActive  and it was very informative and a great starting point for anyone who is curious. I'm sorry in advance, I really think in bulletpoints and it's like a visual map for me. So this is going to look like an outline Research I came upon to convince me  Fasts are everyday and your days consist of "fasting periods" and "eating periods" which is a certain amount of hours each day to eat. Fasts are to give your body a break a majority of the fast is during sleeping hours This is LiveLifeActive's IF schedule 16 hr Fasting/8 hr Eating Fast: 9pm - 1pm (skip breakfast) *take 10-15g BCAAs 15 mins preworkout Gym: 12-1pm (hit gym right at end of fast) Eating period: 1pm-9pm BCAAs/Protein right before the workout is to prohibit chance of any muscle breakdown during workou...
