Incentives

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...

I have a bad tendency to push back working out especially when it's late at night. Then it gets too dark and too late and I am too scared to go out into the cold darkness and venture out to the gym. Such was my case yesterday night... Therefore, I decided to do Cassey Ho's Off the Wall 2012 POP pilates mashup. Omg my thighs and core were burning. I also did a quick pump of my upper body with pullups, pushups, and lifting weights in that 'starting lawnmower' motion. Finally, I just danced around and tried to move around my jiggly abs :( Hahah Lately, I've been feeling mushy and jiggly. I haven't gained any weight but my body still feels so 'soft'. I've looked through instagram for motivation and found Jamie Eason's LiveFit trainer . She talks about how she rarely does cardio but really focuses on weight training.
