Tuesday Drank a fruity, carby smoothie for energy and went to gym to do volume squat training & squat jumps in between sets. Manfriend said doing cardio in between sets is helpful for burning fat. Ok fine you convinced me. Fanny pack was a great idea Wednesday The day was glorious and not too hot. For fasted cardio I tried to jog around my block; I looked up the distance and realized if I jogged up and down 5x = 1 mile. Buttt, I absolutely am not a fan of cardio so after doing that twice decided to instead just fast walk around the neighborhood. haha I found a lavender bush along the way! :)) going to make a natural bug/spider repellent with the sprigs I collect >:) PM workout: did back & bicep lifting sesh then 10 mins of cycling

Challenge yourself! How long does it take you to do 20 knee jumps/tuck jumps? :))

I tell my manfriend this ALL the time. He's been patiently waiting lol. Last week (end of week 7), I was browsing through instagram and #kaylaitsines when I realized that it has already passed the halfway point of 12 weeks! I should be halfway to abs, but I'm not sure if I really am. My diet has not been on par, so it's time to kick it up a notch and really be closer to getting abs in the next (ONLY) 4 more weeks!  But first, lemme get a donut . FREE donut today at all krispy kreme stores! It's ok bro, I added it to my macros already :)) Flexible dieting  for the win But the bad thing about going to krispy kreme is that I just can't stop at just one donut. Haha I ended up getting 4 donuts total - to share with family of course! haha ;) I haven't had donuts since early December in Seattle. Unfortunately, we went to get the donuts in the evening so they didn't have much selection and also the donuts were cold. :( I have forgotten, hot, fresh don...

Friday - Fasted cardio : week 7 of Kayla Itsines workouts. I did the whole thang and made it a Total body workout : legs, abs, arms, cardio. It was lots of burpees, sump squats, pushups, leg raises - Bfast   coach's oats with frozen fruits and activia strawberry yogurt -Lunch wheat bread sandwich with ham, gouda cheese, and avocado -Dinner pan-fried corvina fish - Snack : lots of chips :( Earlier this week I originally decided I wanted to do IIFYM/flexible dieting. I was going to try out 40C 35P 25F, because this girl wants to eat her carbs and still get abs and live that fit girl dream! However, I remembered that I bought gelatin capsules because I read that they can help with plateaus and generally have great health benefits. BUT, it seems to really jumpstart fat loss when done conjointly with a keto/low carb diet . Guess I'm back to doing keto/low carb for a bit. I ate way too many 'unhealthy' processed carbs this week anyways o:) PS: wha...

Thursday - Fasted cardio : sumo squat jumps, jumping lunges, ab wheels, pushups, mountain climbers -Bfast strawberry, banana smoothie salad with walnuts, tangerine, avocado, onions, cucumber. Italian dressing -Lunch 1 slice of wheat bread + cheese + sandwich meat activia yogurt -Dinner Korean rice cake soup because it's Lunar New Year!  look at those carby goodness haha

It takes about 21 days to establish a habit. I still am trying to establish my current daily routine, so I can't wait for the post " Day 21:" !! :D Drank Lemon Cayenne powder + Lemon + cinnamon (new addition that I kind of like), then made a fresh cup of black coffee and brewed uncaffeinated peppermint tea Checked out Insanity's Cardio Recovery and wanted more cardio. I have this routine written on my mirror and decided to do this while watching Once Upon a Time . I was also strapped for time so this was perfect. AestheticDianasaurus Cardio while TV watching Jump rope 100  150  200 High knees 75 Body Squats 50 Pushups 25  10 Jumping jacks 75 Ab wheels 25   10 Butt kicks 75 Tpday's eatery : had korean bbq mmm all that protein. And spent most of today digesting. Then came home and was just craving carbs an...

Monday : lackluster fasted cardio Gym ("legs") -box jumps super set with lunges and split squats -box jumps super set with jump roping in place -box jumps super set with squat jumps -abductor machine -sauna I am very weak in lunges, it is so difficult for me. I think it may be a balance/core thing or maybe my right side is more dominant and my left. Therefore I do body weight lunges for now which still make me quite sore the next day. Lunges is an area I can improve on. So yesterday was like a cardio day because all the booty growing machines/racks that I needed were taken and I didn't have time to wait around. Anticipating a rigorous workout, I made yesterday a high carb day too (50 C, 25 P, 25 F).. oops don't think I worked out hard enough for that. (Keep in mind that I am trying IIFYM for the first time so I am really just experimenting with my body and fitness right now.) Tuesday: Today's battle plan. Have to make up for yesterday's -...

haha this is a little embarrassing.. putting pictures up of my progress but I want to be more open and candid with my fitness journey. So I'm kind of laughing at this before and after for my first week because of how 'drastic' it is. The picture on the left was from the past Sunday after July 4 celebrating of eating, drinking, and no working out. And the right is a pictures from a yesterday morning after almost a week of lifting, eating low carbs mostly, and morning cardio sessions. Quick advice. The night before the 'before' picture, make sure to eat some pizza and a burger then wash it down with a cold beer. When taking the before pic, remember to jut out your guy and then you'll have a 'drastic' picture ;) It can possibly trick you and motivate you because of how much progress you have made in a week! haha actually, I lost 4 lbs though. It's mostly water weight I'm assuming but it's been stable at -4 lbs : Anyways I kept track ...
