6 days behind!

I am soo sorry. I have just been occupied and healing. I just had a kidney biopsy on Monday and couldn't really do much. I practically starved the whole day. The nurses were nice but the lab people were just annoying. I hate how they came every 4-5 hours to get more blood. It was so disturbing, I couldn't even sleep. So tomorrow I'll be starting my job as a Student Coordinator. I am super excited and can't wait to be doing things. Gonna get started on my summer reads and get in shape. The doctor said I shouldn't lift anything more than 10 lbs and no strenuous exercises for the next couple week. So that means I just have to eat healthy and small.

Day 9&10!

OH man I am so happy. Semester is officially over! I have been super productive with my time. I definitely love that I actually have more time to work out now. I think I'm going to keep my workout the same throughout the week and then up the amount of reps every week. I've seen some progress with my waist line. Yay!

Currently grading finals for Math 193 then I'm off to my Derm appointment. I hope I can figure out all this stuff about my spots and hopefully make sure that it's really benign and nothing too life threatening. I cannot wait to enjoy the sun and do some reading as well running. I've been meaning to get back into running, especially to prepare for my 5K in July with Anj.

LET'S GET 'ER DONE!

Day 7

I feel great today! Finished my last final, cleaned the house and got my daily work out on! I feel so accomplished today. I even made crispy flatbread but it turned out a tad too salty. :)

Ah I'm an relieved that I'm done for the semester but I am really upset with myself for not trying my hardest this semester. My motivation left when I came back from Southeast Asia. I'm not blaming it but myself for not wanting to try even harder. I cannot believe it. Overall, I'm gonna have another go tonight for another workout session.

Evening workout;:
10 min stretch
30 lunges
30 bicycle crunches
30 oblique crunches
20 push ups
30 sit ups
5 20 sec planks
10 min cool down stretch

Day 3-6

Okay I'm being quite lazy at writing! But it's finals week. After wednesday, Blogger I'm all yours!

Day 3-4: Very unproductive. Ate amazing stuff, especially dessert. Pho at Sam's birthday <3.

Day 5: Okay I made some quesadilla burgers for the guys and it was delicious. Maybe I should consider going back on my quesadilla/tofu diet.

Day 6: First time eating cereal for breakfast in a few months. I really did not enjoy the coldness but summer's coming up so I guess it wouldn't be too bad. Definitely can't wait finish studying for my last final Wednesday morning.

Day 1&2

Day 1:Totally not productive. I didn't work out and do more reps like I said and I ate McDonalds. Oh dear. C'mon Amee! You got this!

Day 2:I'm need to push myself to be on a more strict diet. Tonight's date night dinner will be: Cucumber tuna rolls, pasta tuna soup, and for dessert we have stuffed strawberry cheesecake.

Today's a rest day for working out so I'm gonna relax my muscles but not my mind; gonna go read some mangas with the Boo!

New YOU for 2013!

I've been away for a few months and I need a project. I have done monthly fun things on this blog and I decided to do something I can see a progressive turn out. I've been on this craze of getting fit and healthy but having no real motivation to necessarily do it because I keep making excuses. Therefore I decided to start posting on my blog again as well as keep motivation through writing about my progress. I will be in a 5k at the Dragon Boat Festival at Phalen Lake this summer and I wanna keep up with my friend Anj. So I'll be preparing myself for this as well as getting healthy. I will be doing before and after pictures each month.

So first and foremost, I'll start with eating habits and work out routines I am currently doing at the moment. In all honesty, it hasn't been helpful since I don't go to the gym or have any good set of weights lying around. I usually do 20-30 reps of sit up, crunches, push-ups etc. As long as I am not jumping everywhere and disturbing neighbors downstairs. I am not on a super strict diet but I am trying to eat in smaller portions and definitely more veggies and fruit. I keep telling myself to become a vegetarian again but that bacon!! Oh bacon kills me everytime. Since I'm mostly in charge of getting groceries when Neal and I go shopping, I think I'll have enough $$ for my end of the list. I really want to invest in healthy lifestyles for both Neal and I since we're still very capable and young.

Today's Goal: up my reps, eat a light dinner, pack lunch for tomorrow, and finish final exam for Women's Studies course.
