Life

So, it has been 2 months and the new year has just past for about 4 days. Question is how I am doing now?
Well, first off i have noticed that I am quite irritable lately. Could be because I have quit smoking and the medicine I am using to help me quit is making me this way. Or I am just straight up irritated by people around me.
For instance, sometime when Leo (my roommate) is around I getting kinda annoyed by his presence. Something he does. I mean there is nothing wrong with him except when he cooks he makes a mess. Not a huge mess, but i big enough mess that means I have to clean. It is great the he washes the dishes...but he never really puts it in the dishwasher to dry. He always puts it to the side on a mat that I bought only because I know that he does that.
To me, that was a waste of my money. Especially when we have a dishwasher to hold the dishes.
He also drinks water from the pitcher; great that he drinks water what is not great is the pitch is always left outside of the fridge. I mean it takes 2 seconds to put it back.
I don't want to be a nag, so i say nothing. Charles always asks why can't i keep things clean. Well, I'm not the only one in this house. I don't see him talking to Leo or Glen (our other roommate) about keeping things clean.
I made rules. Posted them on the fridge. Doesn't seem to help in any way. Pretty much Charles and I are the people that follow it.
Right now, Leo is cooking. Again it pisses me off that no one considers who is here and what they may want to eat. Maybe i want something not as oily or salty. He doesn't even ask if I want to eat. I'm sitting right in front of him too. Could be because he is Filipino or it is just a guy thing. Both are not good stereotypes but seems to be quite true.
Sometimes i hate living with others. Sometimes I don't. It all depends on the day.

Well
i'm done ranting. So back to my progress with working out. So i haven't stopped. I have actually notice my butt is higher (toned in other words) and my legs have nice muscle definition that wasn't there before. I love it!
Yesterday I did a ballet workout that I found online. Apparently it was done by Natalie
Portman during her training for the "Black Swan" (awesome movie). I do not feel pain from the workout but I see how the workouts actually work.
After doing workouts from Zuzana, I think I have become more in-tuned with what each exercise does for my muscles. For example, the bridge worked on my butt, thighs, abs and balance. Great.
Always, my diet is something I'm trying to work on what I'm eating. Starting to make that transition is hard. But
i'm trying.
Anyways, it is the new year. So time to save up for my wedding and change my body to a healthy, slim and long body.

Saturday

So long... So Far...

Well the original workout regimen did not work out. Why? Well it was not for me. I'm not a running sort of person. I get so bored and self-concious while I run I don't put my full effort in it.
So in September I started to do workouts by Zuzana. I luv her workouts. It has been 3 months and I have never seen so uch progress on my body. The only thing I really need to work on now is my diet. I'm trying to read a book that has to do with eating clean. I completely understand the logic. I just have to do it.

Well good luck. check back soon

Monday

New workout

So, today I did my first running workout, which i got from women's health magazine website. It went really good. I mean I am totally and completely out of shape, so their run/walk program considers that as a factor which is awesome because many people forget that someone who hasn't worked out for a long time or at all even would not be able to really run straight 2 miles or wuteva.
So this is how it all played out. I woke up and had a granola bar because I read somewhere you should have some carbs in your body before you go out for a run. Then i started with 10 mins of just speed walking. Not very fast but fast enough I was kind of out of breath. Then the next 6 mins I alternated 1 min of running and 1 min of walking. Lastly, I walk the last 4 mins. That was only a 20 min workout.
I feel pretty good. Not very tired but tired.
Oh and I finally actually decided stretching may be a benefit. I mean my muscles feel more relaxed. But I dunno if it is ok to be sweating as I do a stretching. I dunno but it felt really good.
Tomorrow I have to do brower (dreading)...but I will be follow charliejames1975 workout for epic sexy body or something to that extent. I think it would be fun.
Got to shower now!

Wednesday

workout

So i will be starting a workout regimen. Well actually I have already started it.

Today is Wednesday. So i have done it for two days. I've used this workout regimen once before. If you check out Shantea Mac website you will find the whole 5 week regimen. I will be following her workout as close as I can. Since i do not have a pool i will be substituting with flutter kicks and superman workouts. BTW, i hate running but i will be walking as much as I can and as ofter as I can.
I will also be posting updates everyday or every other day to let you guys know how it is going. Every end of the week i will show pictures of how I look (body-wise).

Oh, of course, there is no point in not changing my diet because I have done so already. If you read my previous posts, you will notice that I have been doing the morning banana diet. It has be quite successful; however, I have decide to get past that because what I have noticed is that this diet does help lose weight but to become toned you have to workout. Hence my decision now. So hopefully i can keep motivated to let you know my progress and inspire you to try it out.

How long has it been?

So, if my calculations are correct it has almost been 2 month...i think in 4 days it will be for sure 2 months since i started the diet. Well how have i been doin? Not bad actually. I will not lie. I did break it a few time like eat after 8pm sometimes. Can't help it, i mean when i go over to my friend's and her mom offers me food i cannot say no. Sometimes I also eat something else for breakfast. Usually i just try to eat health or less.
However, i have noticed i have bowel movements more regularly than before. Which is a good thing.
So pics of how i am doing will be posted. Just for reference.

Oh by the way, i have started to do sit-up just to help get a some definition in my abs. I just started last week. 100 crunches! This week is 150. I did some yesterday. I almost died. It was so hard to get up as I was doing it. Not just that. My tail bone area has a huge blister. Kinda gross I know but hey, these things do happen. Dunno why but it does. Next week will be 200 crunches. YAY!

Besides my workout and dieting. My fiance and I have been trying to look around for a house. Since our contract does end in July. We need to start looking. But we need to wait for his parents to get back from philippines before we have any chance of getting a house. I dunno why he doesn't want to ask his dad to co-sign ...just in case. As long as we pay for the house it should not effect him at all. Anyways, that is not important.

My finals are coming up. Shiet...i don't want to do it. I just want to go to Vancouver and do what I love. MAKEUP ARTISTRY! -____-::

Well, that is my update till now. peace out

Monday

4 weeks and counting

So i checked my weight yesterday when i went to my fiance's parent's house. They were packing to go to Philippines on Wednesday I believe. Anyways, so i got on the scale and checked if i lost anything. Guess wut? I was a 110 and I lost 6 pounds...holy crap. just 4 more pounds to go. But I have a feeling I might try to go lower. Maybe 95 pounds. But if I get to 100 pounds it is already enough. Too much is not always a good thing.

Oh got a rental car today. Mazda 3. Great car, but i would have loved the yaris. I dunno why i love that car.
Anyways got to go wash my face. I left in such a hurry all i did was brush my teeth :P

see ya

Wednesday

Day 14

So two weeks now since i started the diet. the only thing hard about this diet is I'm trying to keep the bananas from maturing too fast.
Body wise though...i noticed a small change in how much fat i have and the bowel movements i have are actually more frequent now. which is interesting.
We will see in the third week. I'm loving it though.
