Day 33: Meals and actually baking!

Real quick cause I got a lot of backlog to update!

Breakfast:  Microwave + croissant!

Food:  1 croissant (115 kcal)

Calories:  115 kcal

Yay a picture!  Finally!  Not being lazy lunch and onwards.  Lunch today was at Marie Callendar's!  O__O  TONS of calories O__O  TONS!

Lunch:  LOTS and lots of calories.  Marie Callendar's famous chicken pot pie and delicious corn-bread!

Food:  1/3 chicken pot pie (442 kcal) and 1/2 serving cornbread (638 kcal)

Calories:  1080 kcal

I'm so serious about the calories.

Look at the nutritional facts!  O__O  1370 calories for an entire pot pie!  And 1275 calories for a "serving" of cornbread!  Not even a full tin!    I was wondering why I was getting so full just eating the corn bread.

Big reminder.  Always read/check your labels.  O_O  ALWAYS!

Then it was off to school and workout times!!!

By the time I arrived home... I was still full!  O__O

So for "dinner" I decided to snack a bit.

Snack #1:  Dan Active probiotics drinks!


Food:  1 blueberry probiotic drink (70 kcal)


Calories so far:  1150 kcal

Seriously one of my favorite drinks.  I usually have one before work cause it's light.  Drank this before Insanity tonight.

Check it out!  Baked kale chips!  Got the idea from my friend Tiffy and the recipe from http://smittenkitchen.com/2010/03/baked-kale-chips/.  My aunt and I devoured the entire sheet!  Ate these after Insanity.

Snack #2:  Baked kale chips

Food:  6 oz. kale (~30 kcal), 1 tsp olive oil (60 kcal), 2 pinches sea salt

Calories so far:  1240 kcal

Yups!!!

Good times!  Making more kale chips tomorrow!

Core Cardio & Balance ~ Day 5

Woo!  I actually kicked a little butt today!!!

:: Level 1 Drills ~ I got really mentally ready before this exercise began.  Completed every push-up repetition!  A few modified knee-push-ups... but every repetition completed!!!  WIN is me!  Also!  I completed every repetition of floor sprints (aka mt climbers)!!!  Winner is me!  Winner!

:: Moving Push-up Plank Walks ~ Did the entire minute without stopping.  It was tough... just no excuses and did it!  Yay me ^^

:: Hip Flexor Burners ~ I figured that it hurts more when I stop and relax my hip flexor while doing the exercise... so I was able to push and complete both sides without stopping!  I was really proud of that!

One more day of Core Cardio & Balance!  I really really should take a video.  O_O  Maybe of shoulder burners... I think those look interesting?

Day 32: Core Cardio & Balance Day 4 + Meals + Crazy shoes!

Core Cardio & Balance notes!

Not bad today!  Exercises that gave me trouble?

:: Level 4 Drills ~ woooo!  Every push-up completed!!!  The problem?  In goal to complete every push-up, I begin my "running sprints" (mt. climbers) a bit late... so I don't complete 8 repetition

:: Moving Push-up Plank Walks ~ Tough!  Again, space is partially the problem!  Had to stop about 40 seconds into it... but not as bad as yesterday

:: Hip Flexor Burners... ~ Much better today!  Right leg (first side) ~ I had to take a break during the hip flexor flexions with pulses.  BUT!  My left leg totally rocked it and did every repetition!  Yay left side!


Breakfast:  Oatmeal + leftovers!

Food:  1/2 cup oatmeal (150 kcal) + 1/4 cup frozen berries (17 kcal) + 1 tsp honey (20 kcal) and 1 IHOP pancake (110 kcal) + 1 sausage (185 kcal)

For the past couple times I've tried to eat lunch at Dumpling Master in Hacienda Heights... it's been closed!  Denied!  Lucky lucky this time... it's finally open!  Lucky it's a Saturday and it's open!  Yay!  finally... and ultra delicious!

Sorry no pictures!  I was so hungry that I ate the food before I remembered to take a picture ^^;

Nighttime was party time and living it up at The Viper Room!  The band Silent Treatment was playing... so times to dress up and wear ridiculous shoes!

Check out the lightning bold heel!!!  Oh Japan... you make the best shoes!  Difficult to walk in... but!  They're so hot!  love love love... and pain!  But fashion is pain right?

Then this weird face came up.  Actually, I half-assed a Snooki look.  I love Snooki from Jersey Shore (if you haven't figured it out yet).  Then super hungry.
