Day 22: Food times

Today was a food day!  I was out out of the house, so lots of random foods.  Also, there will be some estimations!  So hard to count calories with some foods...


Breakfast:  O' my buns!!!

Food:  1 mini coffee bun (100? kcal), 1 serving mixed nuts (100 kcal)

Calories:  200 kcal

I have no idea how many calories this has.  When I bought them last night, I asked the guy how many calories, he said he had no idea and he'd have to ask.  Oh well.
Late lunch!  The mixed nuts earlier were actually a snack during work in between testing subjects for my thesis.

Lunch was at Class 302 today with friends!  I was the only one ordered lunch... so I got a bento meal while everyone partook in the unique Taiwanese-style shaved snow.  I had a few bites later.
Food:  1/2 pork chop over rice with veggies (350 kcal?)  I ate less than 1/2 the meal.  1/6 mango & mochi shaved snow (150? kcal)

Calories so far:  700? kcal

No idea on the shaved snow for calories.  Different right?  Sorry my picture is terrible, but it's actually mango-flavored "snow" and not just ice.

Have you all been to the LA County Fair at the Pomona Fairplex yet???  If not, then you should go!  It's the last week, so last chance to enjoy it!  I went today with friends to walk around and enjoy!

On the right is a coupon for the event.  Wed-Friday, there is a $5 after 5p special.  But!  You have to have the coupon printed out.  And you have to have one per person.  Kind of sucks... but it's still cheaper than $12 or whatever the normal price is.  It's from their website.
The first monstrosity eaten at the fair.  I guess this was technically my dinner?  I really wanted one last week... sorry diet!  But I eat what I want, but I eat in moderation!

I don't eat a funnel cake a week, or even once a month.  Last time I had it was... I don't remember!  Considering all the food in a fair, I could have done worse *cough* deep fried butter... blech.
Snacks:  Funnel cake w/ powdered sugar, corn on the cob, Hot Dog on a Stick lemonade

Food:  3/4 funnel cake w/ powdered sugar (570? kcal), 2/3 corn on the cob (113 kcal), 10 oz Hot Dog on a Stick lemonade (115 kcal)

Calories so far:  1498 kcal

O_O  maybe.  Must have eaten more!!!  Tomorrow I totally have to go running or work out more!  *dies*

Now I am tired.  So I well rest and be prepared for tomorrow's workout and eating well!

Day 22: Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs

Pure Cardio!!!  then Cardio Abs!

Woke up this morning and boom!  Time to work out!  8a insanity!  Which was tough!  It took me a while to wake up and warm-up physically.  I also wasn't mentally prepared.  BUT!  I pushed through it!

I had to do testing for my thesis... so there was no rest for me in between Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs...... which was tough!  As soon as I completed workout 1... it was onto part 2.  Totally dying.

Pure Cardio was the similar for last week.

Did well the entire workout... then Level 2 drills came up.  When is that... about 9 min more or less into the workout?  Death to arms!  Right shoulder pain also started happening here during push-ups... so I started skipping push-ups and doing mt. climbers (floor sprints) in place.  I just ended getting so tired... then it was kind of down hill.  LOL.

I pushed through frog jumps, ski jumps, scissor jumps, and suicide drills pretty well, but push-up jacks didn't happen.  Shoulder hurt too much!  I didn't even risk it.  Did stretches, and onto Cardio Abs!


... Cardio Abs without a rest is tiring!  It was a real challenge to do knee tuck jumps and side knee tuck jumps immediately finishing Pure Cardio.  Also a little strange since you "cool down" and stretch at the end of Pure Cardio.  Makes me a little confused.

Once I sat down and got in the "C-sit position" it wasn't too bad.  It's always the point of double knee tucks and leg extensions when my abs say "break time!"  I do my best to push through... but phew!  These get tough!  Finished it up quick, showered, then off to work!

I wanted to go running today... but no time!  Such a busy day.  Hopefully tomorrow?


Tomorrow is Cardio Power & Resistance!
