ok so it is Wednesday  and so far I have been pretty good with working out and generally keeping my diet low carb. Except, I am wanting, such want, a donut! Must restrain and see how effectively one week of dedication can show me. Things I have been working on so far: Documenting my food helps me stay on track and be mindful of the carbs. I've been letting most of my carbs be fruits (except sometimes I've been allowing myself cereal in the morning) hehe "healthy breakfast" food Satiating myself with lots of water & tea. And also drinking a full cup of water first thing in the morning. and also not dilly-dallying around much in the morning and forcing myself to do fasted cardio  asap. Or, if I'm not planning to do fasted cardio, I try to eat breakfast to fuel me up for a lifting sesh! doing more cardio by adding it in after lifting. So, I have this pretty great rule : I only allow myself to watch Friends  when I'm doing cardio. I choose to do sta...

Although this week was shorter than other weeks (bc of MLK Monday), this week felt so rushed. I am definitely cherishing the weekend right now even though I still have plenty to get done on my to do list. TLC first, I need TLC. Friday, January 23 I had to rush out the house but I wanted an outfit that was versatile and interchangeable from day-to-gym clothes. Think this one hit the mark. Both items are from Macy's and each cost less than $10 a piece! The Ideology tee is lightweight, breezy, and is made of material that wicks your sweat. And the Material Girl geometric leggings are loud, vibrant and.. were probably not meant as gym clothes originally, but no one needs to know :). Friday seemed like a long day, so in the evening I drank some coffee and convinced myself I couldn't waste a perfect outfit by not going to the gym. Forced myself to do volume gaining deadlifts while  looking both cute and badass. Friday night's routine: warmup cycle 7 minutes, volume trai...

Jan 20, Tuesday Did Kayla Itsines BBG + HIIT in the afternoon before lunch. I'm kind of a cheater because I only do her circuits one time through then do 2 circuits of 30:30 Jumping jacks. Total is still 4 circuits, each 7 minutes long. This is what I mean: 1st circuit = Wk 3 MON circuit 1 Legs 2nd = 30:30 jumping jacks/jump rope HIIT 3rd = Wk 3 MON circuit 2 Legs 4th = 30:30 jumping jacks/jump rope HIIT Then in the evening after work, I went straight to gym and did squats fasted. Getting stronger! I can actually squat 135 lbs 4x! Where did that strength come from? Must be from "bulking" haha Jan 21, Wednesday - Lazy, Rest day Jan 22, Thursday HIIT 4 circuits of 7 minute 30:30 jumping jack/jump rope Most likely will go to gym in evening and workout the back muscos. Then afterwards sweat it out some more in the sauna. wooo Currently, I enjoy having a countdown timer on the screen while doing my cardio and watching The Biggest Loser . The cast is working ...

This compilation always makes me ready for a great cardio workout! 3LAU HAUS #8 (Techibeats Hard Edition) So yesterday I came upon this song on my mp3 and did a quick 30 minute cardio session: 100 jump rope 75 high knees 5- squats 25 pushups 150 jump rope 75 jumping jacks 50 lunges 25 ab wheels 200 jump ropes 75 butt kicks 50 mountain climbers 25 ab wheels For lunch we went to an Indian buffet. Oh how I've missed Indian food :) It was my brother's and mom's first experience with Indian food. Unfortunately, the mother was disappointed; Indian food is pretty distinct with strong spices, needs quite a bit of getting used to. The brother enjoyed the food, but since he kind of has a weak stomach, he had some aftermath to confront later on :/ Seems like this will be my lonely pleasure. Ok! so yesterday wasn't supposed to be a "high" carb day, but since I indulged I had to go hard at the gym. DEADLIFTS And I finally bought myself these gri...
