Ok, So I've been a bit MIA this weekend because... * commence drumroll * I just had LASIK procedure done on Saturday morning! Oh man, I have to be honest, it was bit nerve-wrecking and scary but I swear practicing a bit of yoga meditation and calming breaths really helped. It was also great that my surgeon told me step-by-step what he was doing and what to expect while in a calming, encouraging manner. "It's going to go dark right about now" "Focus on the green flashing light" "You're doing great" "My assistant will be holding your hand at this next part" "That was the hardest part" (The part when you feel pressure and know they're cutting a flap on your cornea X.x Oh gawdddd) I pretty much slept all day and night of Saturday. It would've helped me tremendously if I saw the tylenol in the post-op kit... my eyes were stinging and they were tearing while I waited for the ambien to kick in. Yeupp. so...

Everyday I'm trying to make my mom do squats . HAHA do you remember starting out with body weight only and then gradually adding more as you progress? Oops, I immediately started her off with 10 lbs and she said she'll be sore tomorrow. Oh mother, you are so dramatic. You guys should make your mamas do some body weight workouts if they have not yet started. I worry about brittle bones, and loss of calcium, and osteoporosis. So even though my mom may not be proactive about her future health, I will be her enforcer! >:) When on a Keto/Low-carb diet  initially it's quite easy to lose weight. But I think it's definitely mostly water weight. but still great 2 lb loss in less than a week. wooo hoo. I was craving pizza today. But, Willpower  dammit. So I knew there was some leftover rotisserie chicken and a floret of broccoli at hand. Baked it in the oven with cheese and turkey pepperonis! Pasta with this would've been so good x.x :) Rawr, Dianasaur

okk, little confession, I didn't work out yesterday because I told myself I would sprint in the evening after work.. But, the sun keeps setting earlier and earlier and well my mind and body thinks I should get ready for bed soon Z.z haha. At least I got a lot of studying done instead I either need to make my willpower stronger or move my sprinting schedule to earlier. Knowing myself completely, I will have to do HIIT/sprints earlier. One advantage of not having the gym for lifting seshes is that I am more strict on my low carb/keto diet. Before I'd say ohh I can burn off the ice cream or this slice of pizza or eat my burgers with buns since I'll make today a squat/deadlift day. But now I'm really trying to limit carbs to about 50g or less a day. I don't think I burn nearly as many calories doing cardio as I did when I lifted. But it's A-OK. I still eat well :) Example: this steak fajitas wrapped in lettuce because I was craving tacos and burritos. And...
