Tuesday, Jan 27 Workout: Didn't workout this day. Still ate low carb/keto &  kept full with the Costco Mamma chia blackberry hibiscus drink . A bit too sweet for me but the whole bottle only has 64 g of carbs and it can last you for a whole week. Also , I rearranged my clothes and truly found out how many sports bras I own! Seeing all the sports bras I own, I feel like I should be a buff girl by now! haha why is getting abs and growing a butt hard? I must like food too much? That must be it. Wednesday, Jan 28 Workout: Fasted cardio in the morning 4 rounds of 7 minute HIIT Ate Souplantation but stayed away from the carby stuff (pasta and baked goods). In the evening after work, I felt like doing more cardio since I had a buffet of veggies earlier o:). Did Kayla Itsines week 4 Wednesday (arms & ABs) workout. It also helped energize me to work on my research paper. Thursday, Jan 29 Finally done with my month long course that I had to wake up early ...

I decided the best way I can show my mom I love her is to attempt to cook one of my favorite dishes for the family. I guess it would make sense to cook HER favorite dish.. but she never tried ciopinno and I wanted to introduce it to her. Spent most of the early afternoon looking for ingredients and fresh seafood. Then labored in the kitchen deveining all the shrimps, scrubbing the feisty crab, washing down the mussels, and prepping all the vegetables. I spent at least two hours in the kitchen, but then again 40 minutes of it was to boil the base and most of it was prepping. My mom teased me and said I should've just taken her to a restaurant. Woman! This is homemade and it's going to be better than some restaurants! I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I believe it came out great! :D On the side I made balsamic vinaigrette pasta with leftover mussels & toasted sourdough bread for the cioppino. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/cioppino-rec...

  One of the greatest joys in life is to enjoy great times with amazing company. To me, the simplest great times are when you can soak up the sun, listening to waves, and eating and drinking merrily with good friends (ok fine, it could be simpler = just eating and drinking merrily with good friends). I got to do just that this past weekend. Whenever I hang out with this man (I'm going to call him Marshmallow) we drink a lot (of water..) and eat a lot of good food. No wonder I gained some love chubs our first year together. You're the most ignorant when you're happy and fat :) You're also more ignorant when you start wearing baggier, loose-fitting shirts. Anyways, luckily this past weekend we didn't eat unhealthy at all. I got to take him to Wurstkuche to grab a draft while checking out some hipster LA people, then to a 24 hour BCD soondobu joint because it was late at night and he wanted korean food.  The next day we headed to downtown Anaheim and I...
