Sexy Saturday

hehe last night I had some .. ok 2 bowls of frosted strawberry mini wheats. mmph so good. but I don't think I'll let myself do that again especially for a midnight snack. This morning my stomach was quick to respond to the consequences :/ As a result, today I have been strict and on point with my low carb macros and drinking lots of water. This is the workout I partially did while dancing/jumping/pushup-ing. Today was exceptionally hard to do fasted cardio I think because my body felt bloated and lethargic from yesterday's eating. Even black coffee wasn't really effective and I almost contemplated trying out the cellucor super HD pill. Now that I think about it, I should've popped one today for a test run and see how it affects my body.. Tomorrow I shall. Anyways, I still trudged through the fasted workout with some sexy Satuday music ;) { Pacsun :  Kirra  bird dress// Hollister denim shirt} I'm kind of doing my own Pacsun challenge and seeing how...

Recording myself

Image
I've been fooling around with the idea of recording myself while working out (after I saw some youtubers record themselves doing insanity). Why? Because when you record yourself, for some reason it makes you more accountable and want to go all out in each movie. haha I workout by myself.. so in a way my sad phone/camera and I are kind of like workout partners. Also... this is basically my first time ever editing a video clip. It's not too bad right? hahah 1 round of Tabata is 8 cycles of 20s cardio + 10 s rest (I omitted the resting parts from the video) Int 1: Burpees Int 2: Mummy Kicks Int 3: Jump rope Int 4: Jumping jacks Int 5: Butt Kicks Int 6: Squat Jumps Int 7: High Knees Int 8: Dips I don't get feedback so I'm not sure if I should keep the 10s rests in the video. Well now that I think about it, it would've made sense to include the 10 s rests so that if anyone decides to workout with me, it'd be in real time.. should've thought of t...

Tabata Workout

Tabata 1 round Custom Timer Create your own interval timer or download our interval timer app So, I think Tabata is high intensity interval training. I like it because it's quick spurts of energy expenditure. And you go at your own pace, the fastest and most intense you can push yourself. So 1 round is 8 intervals of 20s (workouts) + 10 s (rest) = 4mins Apparently 4 minutes is enough of a workout, however I like to do 4 rounds total = 16 mins! I'm trying to graduate that to at least 5 rounds next time :) Push Push Push Here's a list of cardio workouts you can alternate. You can also just stick with one workout (ie: sprint all out bawls out for 20 s and rest 10 s then repeat) sprint jumprope burpees mountain climbers plank to pushup pushups pushup jacks dips jumping jacks squat jumps butt kicks high knees

My kryptonite..

Hot cheetos. More specifically lime hot cheetos.. Don't even offer to share a bag with me, I will hog the bag and eat the majority of it and you will low-key be annoyed with me (I'm sorryyy, I will buy you a bag ^_^).  Whenever I have a bag of hot cheetos in my hands, in my mind I'm thinking, "oooh you better stop now, or else you'll feel it tomorrow. Ok, just three more chips to satisfy my mouth.. wait, I lied ok a handful. hmm, the bag is almost done I should save it for tomorrow. Nah, a few pieces would just be teasing me tomorrow, just finish it." No self restraint at all . The best form of preventing this is to not even LOOK at the bag. Don't even acknowledge it. Needless to say, I munched on hot cheetos with glorious satisfaction, on my bed. The next day, the scale told me I gained two-three pounds. Hey, I'm sure it's mostly water weight but I also did have an awesome legs day the day before! *excuses* It's crazy how I wor...
