Cheat day Friday + Birthday BASH

Yesterday was my cheat day. I would eat as much as I want and i won't exercise for that day.

Well, i planned to do Zumba and a little bit of treadmill yesterday but i'm happy to let that go to celebrate one of my besties' birthday :)

do you know how much i ate?

p.s i didnt logged in all the food i ate so i think i eat around 2,500 cals yest.

i'm using an app called My Fitness Pal.

my ID is stefflee :) add me!

No regrets though, it was a very nice meal.

for lunch i had a three course meal.

appetizer is soup (i dont know what soup is that),

main course is lamb rack(3 bone) and baked potato,

desert is i dont know what kind of cake it is but it's filled with whip cream and mangoes.

i didn't take any pictures, this is the only one i have.

This is the  main course :). yum but i will consider  A LOT if i was offered to have another three course meal again -.-

afterwards we have cupcakes. 

I AM GUILTY FREE I ONLY ATE 1 CUPCAKE LOL

i think all the sugars made me a little bit hyper and i felt a little uneasy. i went to sleep as soon as i saw my bed. lol

well no more sugar for me.

for dinner

i had Nando's half chicken (i love love love Nando's and anything chicken lol)

(i took this from google i didn't take any picture lol)

on summary the waitress was kinda shocked when me and bf ordered 2 half chicken

it means a whole chicken for 2 person. HAHAHAHA

after that we had STICKHOUSE :)

i tried the yogurt strawberry flavor and forced bf to buy giandula dipped in chocolate and hazelnut sprinkle because it looks YUM and turns out mine tastes better lol.

ps: this is from google. it a giandula dipped in choc and sprinkled with hazelnut.

i should stop stealing google pics and taking my own hahaha

anyway i present to you the pretty bday girl.

this is my only picture of her. loveee x

the girls :) 

PS i'm on the right 

i camwhored with the flower that my friends gave her as surprise :)

well it's saturday now. boohoo i need to finish my hws and workout. forgive my lifeless life but i like it :D

TTYL :)

IF YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN'T DO IT.

IF YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN'T DO IT.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU.

FOR WHATEVER YOU DO IT'S JUST USELESS.

YOU DIDN'T NOTICE ANY CHANGES.

Why not change that thoughts?

Why are you being so hard on your self?

Why not forgive yourself and take ten steps forward?

You might not see any changes YET, but whether you continue is what makes you either SUCCEED or FAIL.

Don't lose hope.

It's just the matter of time. Give time a time.

If you slip, so what? Everyone slip. Everyone binge. Everyone has had their bad days.

We're not perfect. What we learn from our stepbacks is the one that matters.

Still doesn't believe me?

I will give you some proofs.:)

This girl is such an inspiration :) i wanna have the the body she has now lol

this is for those that is a little chubby/no definition/scared of muscles.

this is about P90X which is another workout program by team beachbody. it's actually a compilation of before after pics. one day i'll be one of those before after pics. i hope lol

this girl has an amazing body :) <3 it!!

now if you're just lazy to watch all of these videos. i shall bash you with pictures wahaha

but remember,

are you scared of trying something new?

are you scared of leaving the food you think is nice but actually killing you from inside?

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. YOu must do the thing which you think you cannot do"

My first 14 days result (you'll be surprised)

so this is my result when i started (officially) focusing on working out, when i did 30 days shred continuously for 2 weeks.

*keep in mind that on my first few weeks i hadnt had enough calories because when i started i naturally didn't eat a lot. as in 900 cals per day is A LOT to me because i get full very fast. now i'ma pig that gets hungry every 2-3 hours -_- 

8th March

waist: 25"

arm: 9"

hips: 33"

lower stomach: 31.3"

chest: 31.5"

thighs: 19.7"

23rd march (2 weeks later)

waist:: 24"

arm: 9"

hips: 31.5"

lower stomach: 30.6"

chest: 31"

thighs: 19.2"

starting weight: 50.7kg

weight on 23rd march: 49kg.

total inches lost: 4.2"

total weight lost: 1.7 kg

i'm not going to measure my body until i've finished my 2 weeks challenge. now i'm building muscle and adding some definition so my body is not as thin as it was on march. 

see guys this is only 2 weeks of working out, imagine if you're doing it for 2 months. i didn't have much to lose but i've managed to lose 4.2 inches in just 2 weeks! imagine its you! start working out and eat healthy food.

2 WEEKS CHALLENGE!

I've decided to challenge myself. 

Because i HATE veggies, i hardly eat any.

But... yesterday i saw someone's meal menu and i was like wtf why is she eating greens whole day?!

i didnt see any bread or potatoes (my main carb source)

then i suddenly remembered about the low carb diet. maybe she's been replacing all her carbs with veggies.

and at that moment i feel slightly challenge.

i eat clean (well mostly. i tried). but why not try something new?

after all you must surprise your body to prevent it to go into plateau.

so i've challenged myself.

in this 2 weeks, I WILL GO INTO LOW CARB DIET AND WORK ON MY ABS.

i want to see if low carb really makes my stomach less bloated (it's flat but my lower tummy is somehow bloated -_-)

and i want to see some definition as well. haha.

btw i'm not reducing my calorie intake. i'll eat normally but i'm just lowering my carbs.

i'm planning to lower it to 70-100 grams of carbs on my high day and 50-70 on my low days.

lets see how it goes.

i might post a before after picture if i have balls lol.

my goal ab:

p.s: i know she's upside down but see the abs!!!!

INSANITY (Started 19th April)

OKAY

so after the drought (me no exercise), i started exercising!!

the first thing i did was INSANITY workout  :)

i've been doing all my workout myself and the workouts i do are just random.

i do yoga, circuit, kickboxing, toning, and cardio. but there's no fixed schedule.

sooo... i want something with schedule lol

just to make sure i'm in track and for once i want to have people telling me what to do (lately i have this habit of telling people what to do)

if you don't know what is insanity, here is the preview:

YOU HAVE TO BE COMMITED!! 

hell yea thats what ive been doing for 1.5 months :)

the first day doing insanity i wanted to puke straight away.

why? because i did a bad timing and didn't give my body enough time to digest my food 

and the first day is a fit test

fml i really felt like dying and to think that i did so much workout before, 

IT IS TOTALLY HARD PEOPLE. IT IS INSANE

but i'm really excited to finish this program because i want to see how my body transforms. that's why i did it in the first place.


nothing ever comes for free, so you gotta work hard to get whatever that you want.
for me it's toned and lean body. so i can kick ass. haha


wish me luck in my INSANITY and i wish you all luck as well!




*btw after fit test i'm taking 2-3 day rest. the first day i went to gym so i had no time (and energy) to do insanity. the second day my body is sore and i can barely walk so i have to recover. and maybe i'll rest on the 3rd day because i'm not sure whether i'll recover and its sunday -.-

i cant afford to have 2.5 hours exercise due to my schedule -__-

so....
its decided!! i'm going to do the INSANITY WORKOUT.
