I need to be more on point with my diet this week. The past weekend I had japchae, tortilla chips & spinach dips, ice cream, frosted mini wheats, and salt & vinegar chips; carbs were clearly my friend this weekend... I even took naps after snacking. HAHA leap one step forward, fall back two steps is the name of my progress  Monday did Fasted cardio: Week 2 Monday BBG. need more energy! Tuesday August vs Oct. hahah not much gains or losses. No time for fasted cardio but eventually ended up at LA fitness and got a 2 month pass.

I'm very "high expectation" when I write down my workouts each time. Meaning, each workout is pretty dang intense. However when I workout by myself, I tend to give myself some leeway and you know, take out some reps here and there. Mebbe a set too... o:) BUT, when I'm working out with friends, I realized they're all amazingly very motivating and are really good at pushing both of us to complete the regimen that I wrote down; no leeway. Maybe... I should take out some workouts beforehand :D JK The workout that really made me sore this week TOTAL BODY WORKOUT : ARM -pushups 4x10 -up-downs 3x15 -dips 4x10 SHOULDERS -pike pushups 4x8 -bent reverse flye 4x12 BACK -pullups 4x8 -cable rows 4x8 BOOTY/LEGS -squats on smith machine 15 20 20 15 -glute kickbacks 3x15 -some squat jumps in between sets ABS/CARDIO -mountain climbers 3x30s -high knees 3x30s I got the inspiration from   http://www.fitbodyhq.com/workouts/beach-ready-body-workout/  and I added ...
