Thursday THANKSGIVING & Friday - 14 days left!

UH noz I only have 2 weeks left for my attempt to get abs, but then I also have only 2 weeks until I get to see my love! Indulging in Thanksgiving feasting may have set my progress back but Idunncare! There's more of me to be thankful for :D Thanksgiving  thursday Lots to be thankful and grateful for but still inspired and even more motivated to strive to be my very best. I'm so thankful for my family, for all the sacrifices and love and selflessness that I still have much to learn. And coming upon  Dwayne the Rock Johnson 's post this morning was so humbling and encouraging. It was a great reminder for me to reinforce my aspirations. For Thanksgiving we picked up turkey and ham from Honeybaked and made the side dishes ourselves. We're a small family without any extended relatives to celebrate with so we do Thanksgiving without any frills and thrills. It's quite simple  compared to many other familys' traditions but we still value the namesake of Thanksgiv...

It's only been like 1.25 week since I got my LASIK done. Seems like forever ago! The dry eyes have gotten better and halos around the lights at night is less halo-ish. But I still haven't really worked out except for light fasted cardio and pullups/chinups . I'm still too scared to do pushups and go lift. I think when it has passed 2 weeks I'll finally go to the gym! I actually can't wait. It's crazy how 2 weeks of no lifting really played a number on me. Ok to be honest I did lose weight while doing low carb/keto diet and fasted cardio in the morning. But I need more than that. It probably was mostly water weight and whatever gains I made on my booty. I feel so strong and more confident when I push myself at the gym with weights. I can imagine my muscles shriveling and my body fat enveloping me more currently.. Another thing I am looking forward to is putting on eye makeup. Holy crap... I look tired without makeup but my awesome friends and manfriend t...

Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse - Lasik edition

Ok, So I've been a bit MIA this weekend because... * commence drumroll * I just had LASIK procedure done on Saturday morning! Oh man, I have to be honest, it was bit nerve-wrecking and scary but I swear practicing a bit of yoga meditation and calming breaths really helped. It was also great that my surgeon told me step-by-step what he was doing and what to expect while in a calming, encouraging manner. "It's going to go dark right about now" "Focus on the green flashing light" "You're doing great" "My assistant will be holding your hand at this next part" "That was the hardest part" (The part when you feel pressure and know they're cutting a flap on your cornea X.x Oh gawdddd) I pretty much slept all day and night of Saturday. It would've helped me tremendously if I saw the tylenol in the post-op kit... my eyes were stinging and they were tearing while I waited for the ambien to kick in. Yeupp. so...
