Playing catch up on blogging is hard. I've come to realize that I'm not very good at keeping track of what I do everyday and looking at pictures I take each day really helps me. Is this like short-term memory stuff? Saturday Woke up incredibly sore from the squats and deadlifts however had the energy and motivation to go to the gym and do Kayla Itsines  BBG week 2 Friday total body. I'm used to doing my fasted workouts in my room LOL but being in the gym environment where strangers can see your workouts kind of makes you more accountable for each workout. Gotta look like a badass you know. I ain't got this body just from chilling. jkjk I did.. been eating chips and chilling on my bed while watching tv, that's why I don't have abs :( Afterwards, unofficially celebrated one of my best friend's birthday! Got asked to be her bridesmaids and we went wedding dress shopping. One step closer to getting our friend married! She is going to be a beauuuutiful bride...

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'm very "high expectation" when I write down my workouts each time. Meaning, each workout is pretty dang intense. However when I workout by myself, I tend to give myself some leeway and you know, take out some reps here and there. Mebbe a set too... o:) BUT, when I'm working out with friends, I realized they're all amazingly very motivating and are really good at pushing both of us to complete the regimen that I wrote down; no leeway. Maybe... I should take out some workouts beforehand :D JK The workout that really made me sore this week TOTAL BODY WORKOUT : ARM -pushups 4x10 -up-downs 3x15 -dips 4x10 SHOULDERS -pike pushups 4x8 -bent reverse flye 4x12 BACK -pullups 4x8 -cable rows 4x8 BOOTY/LEGS -squats on smith machine 15 20 20 15 -glute kickbacks 3x15 -some squat jumps in between sets ABS/CARDIO -mountain climbers 3x30s -high knees 3x30s I got the inspiration from   http://www.fitbodyhq.com/workouts/beach-ready-body-workout/  and I added ...

Today's regimen was much more successful! I was in the vicinity of my gym because of an errand I had around 8 pm. Grudgingly I headed to the gym because well I was already out and about and didn't want to hear my mom tell me how I'm wasting gas going back and forth and back and forth. 8:30 pm is not so bad as I always assumed it'd be. Granted the zumba class was lined up against the wall but I wasn't interested in doing that. There were less meatheads in the weights section at this time and today the stretching area  was  not full of people! joy! I only really need the 15s, 20s, and 25s and those are included in the stretching area, so I was indeed a happy camper. And I got to to my ab workouts too in peace.
