Day 1: Late dinner (oops)!

I meant to take a quick nap and take a walk... then eat dinner!

Oops, nap lasted a little longer than an hour.  Dinner is finished!  I wasn't too hungry, plus we have an 18-pack of eggs my dad bought before he left for his trip.  I haven't eaten many eggs ~ so I decided to use a couple!

Dinner #1 (waaay too late than my usual dinner at 7:30p)  T_T

Food:  French toast + syrup.  Made of 1.5 pieces of thick black sesame bread (150 kcal?), 1.75 medium eggs (94 kcal), 2 tsps sugar (32 kcal), 1 tsp cinnamon (6 kcal), 1.5 tbsps of syrup (75 kcal).


Calories: ~352 kcal

Serious?  The syrup we have is 50 kcal per tablespoon?  T__T  I'll never use it again!

After dinner I snacked a little bit on these guys.  T__T  I can't help it with these!  Umaibo!  So delicious in it's corn pottage flavor.  Totally unsure of it's calorie count.

My bro says they taste like sweet funyuns.

I say they taste exactly like corn pottage soup!  Because they do.

Lastly, I almost always end my day with a glass of orange juice with supplements!

Food:  Orange juice (little less than 8 fl oz ~ 110 kcal), 1 tbsp psyllium husks (20 kcal), 1 tsp green phyto base (26 kcal), 1 scoop ArthRenew (30 kcal), 1 tsp Acai powder (??? kcal)

Calories:  186 calories





YUM!  I was debating on eating something else... but need to use up all those eggs!  15 left to eat.  LOL.

Relaxation + 3rd meal (2nd lunch)

Finished my foot massage.  $25 + $5 tip for an hour is totally worth it.  I got a foot massage + 25 min head/back/arms/legs.  I could already feel my body getting stiffer as the man massaged me!  

Sorry, no photos of the foot massage, but it was very dim lighting with a relaxing setting.  Butt massages are the best when your butt is stiff.  People don't do enough butt massaging when you get a typical swedish.  Is it because it's weird?  

Onward to home plus my meal!

Today's second lunch (which is late... almost dinner-time) was delicious!  I was starving after I got out of the foot massage place.  All those calories burnt earlier... 

Sorry it is a bit blurry, didn't realize it until after I ate all the food.  

Lunch #2 

(2.5 hour after plyos workout)

Food:  1 pork x vegetable bun (300? kcal), 1 cup of baby bok choy (10 kcal), and 2/3 mango (~27 kcal)!  

Calories:  hmm... approximately 340 kcal?  

I didn't realize mango and bok choy have so little calories in them!  Mango is only 40 kcal per mango!  Must eat more!

I wonder what I want to eat for 1st dinner.  or maybe just dinner.   Will go walking (or jogging... debating it) at 7:00p for 20 min!  

Day 1: Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Ok.  I decided to do it today.  I was thinking of doing a work-out later... but might as well do it while I'm awake, have energy, and am warm right?

I just ate a bowl of cereal... so I have a bit of food digesting, but hopefully I ate little enough that it doesn't bother me too much.

41 minute work-out.



The food did bother me a little bit.  Felt a little cramp on my left side... but it went away with the fatigue! Oh well, day 1 work out finished!

Time for a shower and a foot massage now!  Yay!

Day 1: Meal 1 + 2 Breakfast and Lunch

I don't like to work out on a full stomach.  Wait... I don't like to eat with any food in my stomach.  I have been working out in the evening for the past couple months since I don't like running in the sun and I like to do my strength/cardio boot-camp/plyos when I am warm after running.  

So if you're thinking I'm not eating enough before working out... it's a comfort thing.  I hate feeling food in my stomach.  Plus I'd rather have all my body resources ready for "work out" instead of "digestion."  

Wake-up time:  9:00a

Breakfast (2 hours before Fit Test workout)

Food:  1/2 Yoplait Whips strawberry yogurt

Calories:  ~ 70 kcal

1st Lunch after workout (yes, first lunch)

Food:  1 cup Post Banana Nut Cereal + 1/2 cup Almond Milk

Calories:  ~ 280 kcal (I just let the milk soak, but don't drink at the end)

Now that I've cooled down, eaten, I should probably take a quick shower.  

Or should I?  I am a bit confused on whether I do the "Fit Test" on the same day as a "work out"... since it doesn't say.  Maybe I'll work out again at 2:00p, then shower.  

I have a foot massage at 3:00p so I don't want to shower, foot massage, then work out + shower a second time.  I have an hour to think about it!

Fit Test: Day 1

Switch Kicks:  150 kicks in one minute

I watched this one the DVD yesterday so I could be mentally prepared today.  I used to do martial arts (Taekwondo, Hapkido, and Wushu)... so quick kicks really aren't a problem.  The problem is that I haven't done martial arts in a few years.  So.... once I got to 100... I got pretty fatigued.  T__T  lack of endurance.  Fast-twitch muscles don't fail me now!

Power Jacks:  61 Squats

A jumping jack plus a squat!  One of my least fave exercises.  At the very least I did one per second.  So I don't feel so bad.

Power Knees:  113 knees (right knee)

Knees to belly button on the side.  Not bad, but only one side... so I felt lopsided after and had to do my left side.

Power Jumps:  51 jumps

This is no joke.  Especially after doing power knees and power jacks.  I did about 20 consecutively, then had to rest.  After I would bust about 10-15 more followed by rest again.  Until the one minute was over.  No joke!

Globe Jumps:  10 "around the worlds"

Serious?  I got to 9 then decided to rest (why?  mine was not being strong enough)... then realized I was winded so I just stopped.  After Shaun T said "do one more" I thought I can do 3 more in this time... but I had mentally stopped and only continued to do one more when there was 5 sec left on the clock.  Fail.

Suicides:  23 burpees

"Suicides" sound a lot more intense than "Burpees" right?  In tennis, we called sprints with directional changes "suicides"... so I'll call them burpees.

Push-up Jacks:  25 push-ups

Wide-push-ups plus a wide jump with the feet.  Push-ups have been my weak point the past year since I injured my shoulder last year.  Just recently I've been able to do full push-ups without pain... so!  I'm pretty proud.

Low Plank Oblique Knees:  70 knees

I think I could have gotten more... but I took my socks off halfway through.  Oops.  I kept sliding on my mat.  Oh well.  Next time!

Fit Test done!

For my first fit test, I am happy that my results were comparable to the "models/athletes" Shaun T had on the DVD.  I am a little disappointed in the fact that I know how "in-shape" I was when I was in training/athletic mode.  Hopefully this will motivate me to be more active!

Photos: Day 1

Here are Day 1 photos!  Sorry the quality is so bad!  Either it was bright and blurry or clearer and dark.  I opted for the darker photos that were more clear.

Front view.  O_O  mine gutt.  My knees have been a bit swollen lately too.  Wonder if it's the weather change or what.  They swell up every once in a while due to past injury.

Side view.  Decided to move my arms out of the way.  

Measurements: Day 1

Why do measurements?

Because Measurements don't lie! I will be taking weekly measurements to see if any progress is happening. I did not include BMI because I think it is an unimportant measurement. Muscle weights 3x more than fat and I've been "Overweight" my entire life for my height and frame. I don't have a Body Fat %age tester, but that's more than necessary if you have anthropomorphic measurements.

If you notice below, only the right side of my body was measured for appendages. This is because I am right-handed and my right side is larger than my left. Half the time for measuring. =)


Height: 4'11"
Weight: 108 lbs (UGH. Labor day weekend)


Circumference body measurements

Neck: 11.875"
Bust: 32.5"
High Waist (smallest part): 25.75"
Low Waist (2" below navel): 31"
Hip: 35.5"
Right Thigh: 19"
Right Calf: 13.75"
Right Bicep: 10.25"
Right Forearm: 9"
