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 ...

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 :)

I think knowing that I'm going to gorge at a meal gives me one of the best incentives to push myself extremely hard during a workout. Hence today, I knew I must PUSH HARD before I go to ayce sushi 0:) Today's workout: Insanity Cardio Power & Resistance and I added two 5 lb dumbbells in the mix (I held them while doing jumping jacks and whenever possible during the movie). Definitely makes your heart beat faster and works out your arms! This is my current "before" picture. I'm going to try to make the "after" picture drastically obvious? hopefully! I keep yo-yoing in my progress; gaining water weight, gaining fat, shedding fat, gaining muscles. It's so skewed :( My month of August goal is to prioritize my time better, not procrastinate, and workout at least 5-6 days out of the week, and in turn keep this going on for the rest of my life. I'm going to start being extremely busy in about two weeks, but that should not rob me of at least...
