Tuesday 12.22 Workout : -fasted pushups and ab wheels while watching  Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life -lift sesh - CHEST day: smith machine bench presses SS pushups Machine bench press barbell bench press cable chest flyes cable back flyes assisted dips sprint & incline treadmill HIIT 2 mins slowing down HR on stairmaster Diet : -black hazelnut coffee -earl grey tea -1/2 cup of white rice (or less), tofu soup -greek yogurt, blueberries, 1/2 banana, chia seeds, mint ice cream -protein shake -tri tip steak with greens & leftover tofu soup Musing : I really don't like chest days and my manfriend makes fun of me for my hatred of it.

Regardless, it is time for me to stop being afraid of chest days and embrace a new area that I can try to gain/sculpt.. The workouts must've been pretty...

Summer body: Week 4 - concluding it

Bloop Bloop Thurs Went to the gym to swim some laps, and generally just work on my tan while having fun. It's been years since I've swam laps in the pool. Love how our bodies have muscle memory.

 I am probably not the best 'fitness' blog because I eat often and drink once in a while. Gotta enjoy life right? Currently, in Los Angeles and surrounding areas, there is a restaurant event called DineLA happening. It's basically when high-end restaurants have a set menu for lunch/dinner and have 'lower prices' than usual to cater to the more general population. Or basically, it's a yearly (or bi-yearly) occurrence that foodies look forward to so that we can indulge ourselves. I also yelp quite devotedly.. so this is my guilty pleasure >:) On Friday, I went to Fogo de Chao , a Brazilian bbq steakhouse in Beverly Hills that serves all you can eat different assortments of meat... And they also have available a salad bar. Oh my god, gluttony. I didn't stuff myself, and also chewing meat for a while makes you tired of eating. But my plate was more or less fully stocked the whole time I was there because the servers were really good at coming around ...
