Days to Infinity

I really really am losing my grip again.

Sat, 18 Aug 2012 03:23:20 -0400

My eating habits are out of control. So out of control that my acne has come back. I don’t want to exercise anymore and I just wanna cry at the fact that I’ve been trying so hard this summer, and yet, I see no progress, and now this. I’m really fucking mad. Even the little joking comments from my family has started to get on my case. I’m really really just so mad and disappointed and a mixture of feelings combined.

My Fitblr Problems #1

Thu, 16 Aug 2012 02:11:21 -0400

Scrolling down through my dashboard, computer freezes and parents or brothers conveniently walk in.

I’m just like:

Oh, okay, guys. This isn’t what it looks like.

Insanity Day 3

Thu, 16 Aug 2012 00:43:02 -0400

… with a 2 day break in between. Got a shot and went down with a cold and stuff just went downhill from there. Picked it back up today with day 3. As usual, it was pretty tiresome, cardio recovery tomorrow. I’d like to say that i’m pretty disappointed in the fact that I take a million breaks in between exercises… Gotta work on improving that.

Insanity Day 2

Mon, 13 Aug 2012 02:27:07 -0400

Plyometric fucking Cardio Circuit. This was honestly really hard, i’m sore right off the bat and I was sweating even before we started the circuits. I’m probably going to have a hard time doing Day 3 tomorrow, but i’m motivated. Let’s do this!

Insanity Day 1

Sun, 12 Aug 2012 01:20:19 -0400

I have to say, after nearly a month of saying that I would start this program, I finally did! Day 1 was hard, those suicide jumps and friggin Push Up Jacks nearly killed me. My results for Fit Test Day 1 are below:

Switch Kicks 27
Power Jacks 19
Power Knees 45
Power Jumps 12
Globe Jumps 6
Suicide Jacks 8
Push Up Jacks 9
Low Plank Oblique 17

I also have to add, I did try as hard as possible without entirely killing my knees. Over all lovely day! Oh, and a side note, finally broke through and am now back on track!

“Okay, so they’re supposed to win. They’ve got the blue-chip recruits, the charter plane and the championship banners lining their gold-plated rafters. But no matter how big their legacy is, it can’t put on a uniform and play.”

“Tournament victories are not decided by nostalgia, tradition, or oddsmakers. They’re decided by hard work, hunger and heart. And in the best moments, they’re decided by people named “Who?” from “Where?” who leave powerhouses asking themselves “What the hell just happened?”

“We’re talking to you, Cinderellas. On paper you’re not supposed to win. But paper isn’t playing. You are.”

So, over the past month or so, I’ve noticed straight of the bat that I’ve literally been doing the same routine over and over. My progress, or if I can even call that progress…, has slowed down and I fear it’s because of the monotony of my exercises. Therefore, I made it the rest of my August goal to break it! Posting list of ‘goals’ or rather, ways, I plan to incorporate new stuff into my routine!

Let me tell you guys something about me, I’m the type of person who doesn’t let much get to her, an when i do, it drives me nuts. Why am I writing about this is a healthy lifestyle blog? Because, the cure I have found to cheer me up is running. I love it to death. Every time I am sad, or just plain irritated, all I do is lace up my shoes and go for a run and BAM, I feel instantly refreshed. I guess you can say running at first was hell for me, now it’s my favorite activity to clear my mind.

I'm freaking out right now.

Wed, 08 Aug 2012 04:12:47 -0400

I’m really sorry about this irrelevant post, but I’m seriously freaking out right now. Ive been trying to start soccer and came upon Ayso, so I tried my luck inferring about it and also asked my parents and they said yes. Anyways, I just got the email saying that I could potentially be still registered in the GU-19 group. Now, here’s my worry. I have never played in a team before and I fear dragging down an entire team. To make matters much worst, the registration is tomorrow, and the coach is my highschool coach from my school. I’m seriously just freaking out because I’m so scared to start.

I hadnt really noticed how fast exercising goes now. Before, I dreaded the timer because I felt like it went so slow. Now, I often look at the timer and am surprised at the minutes passed often times. I guess it really is true that the hardest step is starting.

It's on.

So, my dad just burst into my room and asked me if I was going to go outside. Knowing full well I would.. Not. Well, not only did he just call me lazy when I said later, I just called myself lazy… Fuu this, it’s on. Goodbye Internet, hello park!

USA vs. Canada in Semis

Mon, 06 Aug 2012 17:24:46 -0400

My newest favorite game ever. Canada may have lost, but they really proved themselves in this game. Sinclair is amazing. Canada is freaking amazing. USA is just plain freaking clutch team. USA vs. Japan rematch for Gold Medal :3.

London Olympic 2012 Soccer Semi Finals

Mon, 06 Aug 2012 11:39:20 -0400

I think the media made France vs. Japan first because they want USWNT supporters to have anxiety for a good 4 hours. I’m gonna go crazy waiting for the game and watching France vs. Japan before US vs. Can. Oh my god.

I really need to buy some dri-fit shirts because this cotton t-shirt after I run looks like half of it was dipped in water.

1 month results (7/3-8/3)

Sun, 05 Aug 2012 22:23:33 -0400

A bit late on this update, but better late than never! So, my one month progress consist of no pounds lost but I’ve lost an inch on my waist and half an inch on my hips. Overall, by looking at the mirror, I’m more slender than a month ago. I’m also almost back to my fitness capacity of last year. Aerobics wise, I can generally run 9 minute miles, and jog consistently. Strength training wise, starting a strength training routine is an accomplishment in itself for me. Others are that my pushups aren’t pitiful anymore! Surprise, surprise! I went from doing to 1 perfect to almost 6 perfect. I’ve yet to test my maximum. I still absolutely Lack core strength, but, I do find that my belly is disappearing. In arm progress, I’ve gained a whole lot of strength ever since I started lifting. My biceps are no longer squishy! They actually have muscle c:.

Nike Free XT Everyday Fit+

Sun, 05 Aug 2012 22:02:54 -0400

I got these shoes for my birthday, a week ago. I didn’t use them until now because I’ve been resting my knee. But, boy are they the BEST shoes I’ve ever put on my foot. I actually had to choose between these or a pair of those famous light blue free runs, I chose these. Appearance wise, the free runs wins, but the free XT isn’t the far off. For me, the comfort on these are amazing, I often sometimes forget I’m wearing them because of the comfort they provide. I got mine at a steal price of 50 bucks at a clearance Nike store.

I’m awfully excited about starting school this year because of soccer tryouts! Yes, I mean, I know it is kinda 3 months after school starts but I don’t care, I’m really fucking excited. I’ve been practicing everyday and I’m really motivated to do my best. That motivation has really led me to push myself in terms of working out. Im no longer afraid of going to the park to go for a walk,jog, or run. It’s amazing that after so many things I’ve tried to get into, I’ve finally found the ‘one’ that I really love to do!

Exercised more than I thought I would today! Got up early to go practice dribbling in the park then went on the stationary bike, followed by a nice, relaxing shower. Later on, I went to the park again, this time with my dad and practiced dribbling on the trail, I completely suck at it by the way. Watched some motivational videos, planned my workouts/food, and called the doctor for an appointment. Now some for some shut eye because the dang USWNT vs. New Zealand match tomorrow is really early.

I am really in love with playing soccer at the moment. It’s funny because I only started playing two weeks ago but now, all I want to do is keep playing. Not to mention, I’m also really motivated to improve my fitness capacity so I could play better and I’m also going to try out for my school team. I’ve gone through a lot of activities, hoping to find one that really clicks with me and none of them have made me this excited to continue.

August 1st

Wed, 01 Aug 2012 22:58:50 -0400

A good opening day to getting back on track. I actually did some exercises that didn’t require and strain my knee. Stationary biked, and pushups/crunches after playing soccer in the park. Playing soccer was just so much fun, I can’t actually wait to try out for my highschool team and play. I found out today that the broken stationary bike in my garage isn’t actually broken, it was just the little screen thingy, but, even without it, it works fine. I’m thinking about bringing it up to my room so I can get some exercise in while watching online or something. We also went grocery shopping and I bought canned salmon, and some delicious pomegranate-raspberry tea. Such a good day for me.
