slight pet peeve

Image
Yesterday I had a good workout but it ended on a "meh" kind of note. It was good cause I was wearing two sports bra and they were thoroughly soaked >:) Chest, Shoulders, Tris 3 x 15 DB shoulder press 15 DB lateral raises, superset 10 pushups. Do 3 sets 3 x 15 tricep extensions 3 x 15 cable crossovers Butt while waiting for the squat rack... cause some dude likes to look at his phone and sit on the actual bar whilst waiting in between, weird. 10 plie squats followed by however long you want to jumprope (with DBs) Do 4 sets Squats 4 x 10 increasing weights each time Deadlifts since I went up to 95 lbs last time, I decided to start with 95 today. Cake! did about 10 reps (eventually) and then added 5 more pounds (not much difference!) was going to make it 105 lbs BUT THEN while I was in my Dianasaur-mode, some dude came up to me and I asked me how many more sets I had left. I never ask anyone how many sets they have/or how much longer they're going to be o...

Deadlifting high

Image
This past weekend I had one of the best workouts I have ever had because my best friend came to visit me and there was finally someone who pushed me with my workouts. I asked him for a regimen that'll target our backs and butt so it consisted of sprint walking on a "hill," lunges, squats, deadlifts, lat pulldowns, pullups, pushups, and leg raises. I was definitely sore for the next two days. I am so glad of this workout because I was able to show myself how much I can push myself and how much I can endure and achieve. Our workout lasted two hours and although I was relieved it was over, I felt like maybe, just maybe, I could've done more; well, to the point of pure fall to the floor exhaustion. With squats I was able to do 95 lbs but was a little too scared to do more. (my squats before were with 25 lb plates only :P) And for someone who never deadlifted because she was scared of hurting her back, I was able to do two sets with 95 lbs. Though it may not be much ...

Two weeks

to improve myself and enjoy myself Basically I want this time to set a lifestyle that I can continue to follow even when I'm the busiest I can be later. It takes two weeks to form a habit or break one :) Ways I'd like to improve myself: Definitely try to go gym everyday to lift weights and do HIIT cycling or reading a book while cycling? hahaI want to really establish a habit to be better at my time management and efficiency with my life and the gym. I've actually finally worked out one week straight, I haven't done that in a long minute.. read self-improvement books Relearn Korean again. Actually I feel like I should relearn Spanish too.. dang it, I thought I lived in America. (at the hospital I was at, 95% were Spanish speakers. This kind of handicaps me because of the language barrier) Volunteer  do yoga with mom blog more consistently Enjoyment : spend time with friends and family. Reconnect with friends because everyone is busy and I'm also n...

Island In the Sun - Shwayze & Cisco

Image
Sounds like summer to me "Island In The Sun" (with Cisco) Said it a million times, I hate to see cryin. I'd give a million lives to see you smilin'. If it were you and I stuck on an island think I'd be smiling. Yo, if it were just you and I play the best of Bob Marley, no woman no cry I make a guitar out of palm trees in case you crash-landed and you couldn't find your iPod Make a wish upon a starfish, kiss under the waterfall, coconut sidedish, like paradise lost, but now I'm found. Everytime I get a little bit closer you drift so far away, Everytime I get a little bit closer you leave me right here. Everytime I get a little bit closer you drift so far away, Everytime I get a little bit closer you leave me right here. Like an island in the sun, I'm waiting patiently, waiting for you, to land on me. Like an island in the sun, I guess I wait and see, waiting for you, to land on me. Collecting seashells on the seafloor Smoke a lil' seaweed on ...

Adventuring With Purpose

Image
Last week I had to take care of an errand (yes just one errand) in the LA area. I have this rule... if I drive to a place, I have to spend at least the amount of time it takes to drive to and fro at this destination. Well, ideally. I don't really know how to parallel park. But mainly it's because I live in Suburbia and I'm also too afraid to really attempt to try. Why?.. when I got my first car I u-ed into a parked car and also while coming out of a parking spot I scraped the side of my car on a pole....soo ever since then, I've just tried to avoid any situations that would force me to parallel park. I've been successful at it so far *knock on wood* I do know that this is such a handicap for me -__- But I swear, I'm not a bad driver. I just don't do well with inanimate things and I'm not very good at parking, I admit. Well anyways, I yelped around and google-mapped so I had a better idea of where I was heading to. Got to park at a plaza (where t...
