It was 70 degrees out and sunny. So nice to be in Southern California sometimes! San Diego is only about 2 hours from LA, so I got home a little while ago. Time for a relaxing night or some TV, yummy dinner, and of course Sunday Funday post!
So as I mentioned last week, I have decided to be very strict with my food and workout this week and next week. I've really been eating very well! Including last night when I went out, even the drink I ordered was just cumcumber gin and soda, which is like 100 calories. But I did workout like crazy before I headed out to San Diego, so I feel like I had 100 calories to spare. Anyway, this has really been paying off, because I'm feeling better than ever, my clothes are fitting looser, I can see more ab and arm definition, and the scale shows that I'm 5 lbs lighter than a week ago.
I'm supposed to do a detox for a few days next week, so we'll see if that will make me feel even better. I swear ever since I got back from China, I had not been feeling the same because of all the crap I ate during my trip! So I'm very happy that I've now lost it all after only a short week.
One of my friends started to train for a bikini bodybuilding competition, and she's got me kind of interested too, so I'm supposed to talk to her trainer some time next week and see if this is something I can pursue! I don't know about doing an actual competition though, but I'd be down to train and eat like one just to see what it's all about. I think it would feel like a great accomplishment, and it's something I've always kind of considered.
Anyways, so I went to workout 6 times this week! I'm happy I pushed through, because the original plan was 5-6 times, and I almost called it off on Friday when I felt very tired after work. But I didn't, and I felt loads better after my workout, so it was totally the right decision.
Monday 2/18
What I did: Weights - I'm taking a break from the New Rules of Lifting for Abs, and started doing some other body parts on my own. I also included a good amount of HIIT on the treadmill. So I did five 1-minute sprints, then lifted 2 alternating body parts. Then went back to the treadmill to do five more 1-minute sprints on very high incline (15), and then did another 2 sets of alternating weights. It was such a killer!
What I wore: Lululemon swiftly shirt in white/ultra violet, 50 Rep bra in very violet, and astro wunder under crops in heathered black/dewberry with New Balance Minimus Road shoes.
As to/from, I wore my Turn Around LS in plum.
Tuesday 2/19
What I did: Weights again, this time I did sprints before lifting, 50 burpees between weight sets, and 50 burpees after to finish it off. Death!
What I wore: Basically Monday's outfit in different colors lol. Lululemon swiftly tank in fruitie tootie, with astro wunder under crops in black slub denim and Adidas adizero adios 2 shoes.
It was pretty chilly on Tuesday evening, so I wore my Dance Studio pants in concord grape, and my Journey Jacket. I don't know why I took 2 different pictures, but here they are:
Wednesday 2/20
What I did: Yoga class... still had sore upper arms the next day! Why does yoga always get me like that?? Can't be a bad thing.
What I wore: Lululemon Scoop Me Up tank in caspian blue (why haven't I seen more of this tank? I love it and want more colors in it...) with deep indigo Ebb & Flow crops.
I wore Don't Hurry Be Happy pullover in polar cream to class because it was a very chilly night!
Thursday 2/21
What I did: Spin class
What I wore: Lululemon cool racerback in little boy blue, with pow pink Free to Be bra under. And bright blue Run: Passion crops.
And I wore my pow pink Define Jacket to match my bra!
Friday 2/22
What I did: Lifted weights, again with treadmill sprints before weight sets, in between, and afterwards. I love this routine. It keeps my heart rate up the whole time and sweating like a monster.
What I wore: Lululemon Power Y tank in discovery stripe, with Run A Marathon Crop and Brooks Pure Drift shoes.
I wore my Express oversized drape neck pullover sweater to work, but it also served as my to/from gym lol...
Saturday 2/23
What I did: Weights - I worked on my legs and butt hardcore. I'm so sore right now I can barely walk! I was doing 125 lb squats. Omg... legs shaking... but I want my butt to be anti-gravity so I gotta do what I gotta do lol. And I had this genius idea of running sprints in between sets too, and then finish off on 5 incline sideways and backwards run on the treadmill.
What I wore: Lululemon swiftly tank in pink mist, with white Flow Y bra under. And CW-X Pro tights, with New Balance Minimus Road shoes.
I wore 1/2 zip swiftly in ultra violet as to and from.
Sunday 2/24
Today was the only rest day. Instead of working out, this is what I did while looking at the view in the first picture in this post:
It's 2 eggs benedicts, one is with carne asada, and the other is with crab cake. So good! A little splurge on the calories, and totally worth it. =)
Maybe I'm crazy, but looking at my own pictures I feel like I do look a little leaner in this week's photos, especially towards the end. Those 5 lbs decrease had to come off somewhere! I'm happy what I'm doing is working. Will keep pushing next week and hope for good results!

ReplyDeleteMy name is allena I 'm happy to say this because its the best thing that has ever happened to me in life. I was once a HIV/AIDS patient, I was leaving on drugs to supress this for a very long time until A friend brought me a news about how she got healed of her cancer.
ReplyDeleteWhen she told me the awesome story it was like i have found a treasure. She said she has paid bills here and there in different hospitals just as i have been doing, then on a faithful day she got intact with an africa person who referred her to Dr. Lamp a herbal healing doctor who cures all types of sickness, the email of this doctor is herbalcuremedicine@live.com, was giving to her to meet him. She passed it to me also then i contacted this Dr. Lamp and he told me that my illness is nothing i should fear for his spiritual healing drugs can cure them in full.
He told me that has a medicine call ASPOLINE BC ROOT MEDICINE AND TIVON D1, D2 CETRIN that he uses in curing HIV/AIDS. This sound so unusual because i went to some stores and pharmacies to find this drugs, i didn't see them. He then said this drugs are not ordinary medicine, that they are spiritual herbal medicine prepared for only 7days usage and i must do what he tells me because he is going to be working in his temple with my pics with the spirits as i use this medicine.
I did as he has said and adhere to his words. he prepared the herbal medicine for me and i used it for 7days exactly. The greates news is that immediately i have finished the medicine he asked me to burn the cup and use the ashes to bath. I did as he said and also did some prayers. I then went to the hospital to confirm if i am truly healed, the result that came out said "i have no HIV/AIDS in my cells and blood and that i am completely ill free, this surprise me because i was expecting to see may be i am almost healed, but the results said i am completely HIV/AIDS NEGATIVE.
This is what i have never expect to see or hear but my dear, it came true, i went to another lab to do the same test it was the same result that i am HIV/AIDS NEGATIVE. I came back home with my heart full of joy and happiness that i have life in abundance.
This dr. Lamp ASPOLINE BC ROOT MEDICINE AND TIVON D1, D2 CETRIN, cured my HIV/AIDS in just 7days, all my friends who has ill health or something are running after this dr. just to get this medicine, I am so excited speaking to the world that a herbal cure and spiritual drugs has been found to cure HIV/AIDS.
