Ichibum day 13.

I did not work out last night. Oh god, already in a funk. Aiyahhhhh :( Life gets in the way. Working 2 jobs, managing a store, managing people is hard to juggle working out in between. Must. Find. A. Way. 

Diva - Day 13

The female hip hop class was definitely a nice change in my week. 

We did a warm-up to some good music and eventually did some "zoning." Models use it to strike a pose. This is where I failed completely. I was a deer in headlights. I felt like the most asexual being on the planet. What is sexy? *shrug*

I was happy when we got into choreography. I am all about technique and was able to pull it off well. But adding extra flair and bounce was still not in me. I figured since I could get the steps right, the moves will eventually come. 

I hear the song on the radio sometimes, so I figured I should watch the video to the song we are learning to dance to. Good inspiration.

Apparently this is a 6-week class, so I guess I found my extra workout to do. Thanks, universe!

3.5 out of 5 stars for me today. Goodnight!

ichibum day 12. Feeling lathargic

Pump up track: If - Janet Jackson

I think my energy level is on the decline and I don't know why. Maybe continuous physical activities for the past 12 days everyday? I ran the stairs again at work and met my goal of 8x up the stairs in 25 mins. Got my heart rate up pretty good and managed to burn 100kcal. 

I do feel a little self conscious having to change into a tshirt at lunch to do the stairs and then coming back to change into my work shirt after. I get a lot of "wth" looks from my coworker but ehhhh. I'd rather do that then sweat in my work clothes. I will need to bring some body mist. I don't want to smell like sweat hahaha I also made a "friend" doing the stairs. I usually go around 1:30 and at that time there is a n old Chinese lady that comes down from the 3rd floor to get the mail. I've seen her twice and we chit chat a little. She said she goes down the stairs to get the mail everyday and jokes that we should race sometime. Bring it on lady. Jkjk ;)

After #officelife work, I went to work at the shop and was going to the gym late night but I couldn't do it. I suddenly crashed and fell asleep in the office, then had to drive workers home and by that time it was 11:30pm. I drove by the gym feeling guilty that I should be in there. Make it up triple time tmr? Let's hope so.

Breakfast:

Banana cookie butter oatmeal 

 Verdict: Good. It's a nice change from the raspberry vanilla oatmeal I tend to make

Lunch: Salad (lettuce, red bell peppers, cherry tomatoes) w/balsamic vinegar

Verdict: light and easy

Dinner: congee and 3 spoons of Mac and cheese

Verdict: congee was good and damn tree for making me tempted to eat Mac and cheese!!

Temptation of the day:

Bonnie got me xxxtra flaming hot Cheetos from LA. I probably ate like 40 cheeto sticks :( so good and spicy!!  I swear they don't have these in canada! I'm pretty sure. Hahaha

And yay for hip hop classes Dani-wok!! Show them what you got! And you mentioned feminine hip hop class. So no men?! How are you supposed to reenact "Step up" or "honey" or "save the last dance" or "you got served"??? ;)

Peace out.

Endurance - Day 12

How I lasted 45 minutes is beyond me. The last 15-20 minutes felt brutal. But I pushed because I knew I would eventually be relaxing, eating dinner like nothing happened just minutes before.

4 stars! I'm still not able to keep going consistently when I'm going hard on cardio. But I'm taking only 3 seconds during sets to catch my breath and then I keep on going.

This afternoon, the word "DIVA" caught my eye. And next thing you know, I've signed up for a free feminine hip hop dance class. Because who doesn't want to be fierce like Beyoncé! It's just one class, so it will be a nice break in my workout routine. "I don't think you're ready for this jelly." No, seriously. Avert your eyes...!

ichibum day 11. Routine.

Pump up track : middle finger by cobra starship 

I managed to convince myself to do stairs at work. I found another stairwell at another area of the building that actually has 6 flight of Stairs! Did that 7 times. I'm aiming for 8. 

Here's a link of what this looks like. My hands were shaky but I feel my endurance increased a little bit.

Also subbed for a friend's Vball game. For almost 2 hours. Work out quota done

Squat challenge: I just do 50 a day. I'm not going to do any more than 50 haha 

I also have been eating better. Relatively. Oatmeal, seaweed and salmon and rice for the day. 

I doZe off more easily too. Shiet. I'm barely opening my eyese as I type this. 

Peace outs!

Multitasking - Day 11

Put the teriyaki glazed salmon in the oven and got into a quick workout just in time to sit down for dinner.

Tonight's workout was cardio. Sweat is dripping down my body. It's exactly like hot yoga right now! So, I'm giving myself 4 stars! I didn't deserve 5 stars as I took breathers during sets, but I never paused the workout once and so I feel good that I kept my stamina going!

With the weather getting nicer, I hope I can get slimmer and toned and ready for some dresses, skirts and shorts! *strike a pose*
