Tuesday On cinco de drinko (Tuesday, May 5) I only did a quick fasted BBG Arms & ABs (but in all honesty it was a bit half assed) Wednesday I was actually planning to do fasted volume deadlifting because I ate ALOT of CHIPS the previous night. But my manfriend reminded me that it's about time I do CHEST DAY . LOLOL I fricking hate chest day. The only times I ever workout my chest is when I visit manfriend (long distance relationship) or when I do the pushups that are in the BBG. Ok, So I chugged my preworkout before entering the gym and had my workouts planned out and written out, so I don't look like a lost lamb. Workout plan (Chest) : -Warmup 20 pushups -Benchpress SS with pushups until failure -Chest flyes (mid and low) -Cable chest press -Rear delt flyes -Standing front lat pushdown (I absolutely love this one! you can see your back muscles!) -Tri pushdown CARDIO: 10 mins of cycling 5 mins of sauna GOOD frickin fasted workout! SO, Funny story : I was ...

Week 1 Friday BRB, Nikki Blackketter is my fitspiration. haha and yes I watch her workout movies to motivate me and also to make me get pumped up for my own workout. Drank black coffee out of a hello kitty cup (like a boss) and went to the gym to do a fasted Back workout: wide arm lat pulldowns close grip pulldowns cable rows, rope face pulls bar pushdowns/triceps single lat pulldowns unilateral rows 5 mins of cycling However, afterwards I met with my friend and had a huge cup of taro slushy + egg pudding + boba. I'm fat .. I figured.... I can still treat myself to my cravings for a little bit, but I really need to hone it down furreal for the next 11 weeks HEH. I promise after this weekend? o:) why after this weekend? Because my manfriend is visiting mee <3

Week 1 - Tuesday Nothing really extraordinary this day. well except that I totally killed it at the gym. Again :) In the morning, I originally wanted to go do HIIT sprints on the treadmill. but I just did not have the willpower so I ended up doing Kayla Itsines BBG - Arms & Abs . oh gawd my two most un-favorite body parts to workout *cry face* hahaha this picture made me laugh today I had a busy day at work and also someone sprayed the room with too much air freshener so my head was hurting. I was just too temperamental to want to deal with waiting for machines and racks so I headed straight home afterwards, and happily conversed with family during dinner. LOL this reminds me of Sims when their mood levels get higher when they interact with their friends and family. By 10 pm I was ready to force myself to go gym (even without caffeine!) and did box jumps intervals worked out lats while waiting for squat rack SQUAT . did 3 sets of 3 with 135lbs :D YEA. trying to get ...

My favorite comfort food: Jjampong & Jja jja mein Oh man, it's about 8 pm on a Friday night and I just woke up from a food coma slumber. Currently drinking coffee and tea to wake me up and to also help me digest the NOODLES I have gorged on previously. --- 2 hours later ---- Although, I ate semi-gluttonously, it has given me energy and motivation to KILL my late night Friday workout: Volume training Deadlift. 135 lbs 10x10 5 mins stairmaster + 10 mins cycling I was pretty surprised how busy the gym still was at 10 pm. I originally wanted to do volume squats but all the racks were taken. rack rack city. Edit: here's a clip of me doing one set of deadlifts

On Friday, I was just way sore from doing deadlifts on one day and squats the day after. I think I get D.O.M.S (delayed muscle onset soreness) a little later so surprisingly doing my workouts on this split was totally perfect. I know muscle soreness means that "I'm making gainz" but it's not pleasant when walking around; I feel that I walk around stiffly like a robot. SO, I searched up on how to treat D.O.M.S. or make it go away more quickly. Intake more protein - helps with muscle synthesis and accelerates the healing of muscle fibers Foam rolling afterwards - promotes blood flow especially to the area of injury/muscle tears/inflammation I think these two "treatments" may have sped up my recovery! So I'm ready to start week 2 STRONG :). Originally, I planned to workout Saturday morning since I allowed myself a rest day on Friday, however, I think my body needed the rest... slept 12 hours on and off. How you do dat?  :O This is the brand...

Marika Tek dry-wik tank Nike Just Do It. leggings Roshe Run haha, I got a smartphone bluetooth tripod, so here's me wearing a workout outfit and testing it out :) yeayea, I know the muscles on my arm shrank. We'll see the progress later perhaps? AM workout fasted cardio - 10 mins stairmaster + 20 mins inclined treadmill (speed 3.0) Sauna Lunch : Inari rice balls & Okinawa sweet potato. I swear, Okinawa sweet potatoes are like nature's carby cakes/pies. SO delicious Snack : yogurt & banana PM workout Squats volume training , abduction machine Dinner : rotisserie chicken and lettuce wraps

Anyone watch The Bachelor ? haha whenever I skip washing my hair, I think I'm pulling a Britt. LOL but... I'm gonna go the gym again tomorrow morning. what's the point of washing my hair at night? o:) I think I look relatively clean. Just put your hair up or whatevs, cover it up with a hat :P AM workout : quick fasted cardio sesh Lunch: pho Snack: 1/2 a Banh mi Dinner: rotisserie chicken, shrimp, pork "hash browns" + salad PM workout : Deadlift sesh + 12 min cycling I'm still trying to figure out my workout schedule. Wondering if I should keep my fasted morning cardio or change it to fed lifting sessions instead. Hmm hmm

Although this week was shorter than other weeks (bc of MLK Monday), this week felt so rushed. I am definitely cherishing the weekend right now even though I still have plenty to get done on my to do list. TLC first, I need TLC. Friday, January 23 I had to rush out the house but I wanted an outfit that was versatile and interchangeable from day-to-gym clothes. Think this one hit the mark. Both items are from Macy's and each cost less than $10 a piece! The Ideology tee is lightweight, breezy, and is made of material that wicks your sweat. And the Material Girl geometric leggings are loud, vibrant and.. were probably not meant as gym clothes originally, but no one needs to know :). Friday seemed like a long day, so in the evening I drank some coffee and convinced myself I couldn't waste a perfect outfit by not going to the gym. Forced myself to do volume gaining deadlifts while  looking both cute and badass. Friday night's routine: warmup cycle 7 minutes, volume trai...

Halloween is in two weeks. Time to hone in diet and I know keto works the fastest for me. Wish me luck :( carbs taste even better when you restrict them *Breakfast option: fruits (I am not going to take fruits out of my diet, instead I will allot myself to have them in the morning) and/or protein shake -nuts -hardboiled egg -peanut butter Avocado, egg toast Chili cucumber noodles Wedge salads Cucumber roll ups Baked parmesan zucchini Cucumber chicken salad sub wrap omelet wrap Low carb sausage bake Bean sprout "noodles" SNACK: Blue diamond almonds. smokehouse flavor is my favoriteee This is such an awesome alternative to chips, albeit it is a bit salty. However I need some flavoring in my life since I kind of eat my food on the bland side. Sometimes I feel like I don't get enough electrolytes, namely sodium, in my diet. But then of course when you eat packaged food (like even sandwich meats) ...

Fajita Mmm for some reason I am craving fajitas and also sriracha mayo with broccoli. strange right?

Hahah today I did sets of deadlifts til failure. This message kind of made my evening today hehe My Deadlifting day usually follows like so: Warmup with 95lbs 1 x 10 reps 135 lbs 2 x 7 185 lbs x4 205 lbs x3 (my current PR) then drop back down to 135 lbs and do as many sets and reps TIL FAILURE. I usually can do about 6 sets of 5-7 reps. Then I finish with 10 minutes of inclined walking on the treadmill. Deadlift days are my most badass baby boss days :) Now if only my butt will grow and my belly fat will shed so I can have abs!

PUSH chest press 3x12 squats 5 sets leg press 3x10 tri pressdown 3x10 shoulder press/y-press 3x10 Yesterday I kind of lagged so I did the workout fasted. I'm personally used to fasting till 1-2 pm so I was still energetic. I did eat a handful of peanuts just in case - don't want to be lightheaded and faint at the gym! After the workout, I realized I like to do cardio fasted but strength training should be done after a solid meal. I didn't feel like my performance was weaker or that I burnt out quicker, but preferably I won't be weightlifting on an empty stomach again. I thought it was so funny that my sweat marks made this face -___-. I call it the "weh" face But this is what I got to eat post workout. Chirashi bowl - some carbs and protein :)

Lately, I've been quite down on myself. Feeling blue you call it. I've tried to come here many times to start a post, however I didn't feel like writing anything or putting on a front. I felt so uninspired and just so.. lost. But sometimes you have to fake it to make it. My mom also told me to just smile in the mirror and tell myself that I'm lucky, that things work out. There's the well known psychology fact that smiling, even when forced, can lift up your mood. I've been smiling in the mirror, breathing while smiling while working out (maybe creepy..), and also watching funny shows and trying to literally LOL Yea it does help. Temporarily. But I still need to figure out my life. Guess I'll do it while smiling at least.   Watermelon + Kale + H20 smoothie. Yes I know, it kind of looks like I bought the drink from Starbucks. But no I didn't. I just like to reuse clear drink containers temporarily since you can see how awesome your smoothie is an...

Omg that walrus can do situps and I can't.... werk that core! I also want to be able to do this, why are situps so difficult!

Oh this 1st pic isn't me (found it on tumblr). but this 2nd one is! I think it's a little bit of karma playing on me because the day before I snapchat a picture of someone else really sweaty: HEHE I'm so immature and inappropriate :) I mean of course I give major props to this man for working out extremely hard and with absolute dedication, but I couldn't help myself and refrain from not taking a picture :P Here's the workout I did yesterday 4 sets 12-15 reps (superset these three) side plank t-raise vertical db rows db shoulder press Cable flyes side bends with weights Interval cycling 30s to 1 minute turnovers in 20 minutes Funny thing, I didn't plan on doing cable flyes. I actually went to the cables and wanted to try a glute kickback workout.... but I tampered for a bit and it was just not going to happen because there's no wraparound strap to keep the cable steady on my ankle. I even slipped my feet and ankle th...
