Puppies, parties, & Training!

I wrote this post about last weekend things and tried to make them all gather in one cohesive post but failed. Sometimes I majorly not as a blogger, but I still share my life with you guys.

Guess who I saw this weekend?

Juju brother

JuJu the brother!

He lives with the brother of a friend of ours. We were at their house for a birthday party on the weekend so I have got to say hi and play with him. I haven't seen him since he was about 6 weeks old, so it was nice to see him again.

I also learned that he is much smaller than JuJu!

JuJu is a beast! A collect sock beast!

Juju

She loves socks and will be the place for one that she can get her hands on cleanup. They do not chew them up but only carries them around for a while or builds a collection until I take it away. Stupid dog.

So the birthday party this weekend was fantastic. I always love a party that features good food and this had enough. My favorites were the chicken wings (maybe the best ever Breading) and bbq pork and shrimp fried rice.

Cambodian food

YUM.

I learned this weekend that although I love eating meat I can't eat something if I look at the die for me. Even mussels.

Mussels

At the party they grilled and I just couldn't stand it. I think the whole idea of them suffocating to death just freaked me out and I couldn't try them after watching it. I'd probably a terrible Hunter.

Love one of your mussels eat? Or other animals/seafood that you look meet their end?

Over the weekend I not much different than a good amount of light hiking places was active. I admit that I spent most of the weekend reading and even finished the last hunger games Mockingjay book,. So after that I started this week refreshed feeling and I have two days of training this week so far completed. Circuits are so hard and awesome! I swear I'm sweating like crazy and so tired by the end. I like circuits and will probably end up doing similar types of workouts a few times per week (instead of 6) with some other cardio for the next couple of months.

How was your weekend? Any big plans for this week?

Friday five

JuJu is this week as the spoiled puppy that she is sweet.

Juju

They usually get to lay around on her beanbag and sleep when she wants (which is still a much despite her crazy puppy energy during other hours). But this week I played extra games of fetch with her, bought a better dog food brand she seems like better, and bought her a new toy, which she is currently obsessed. Life is good for small JuJu.

Two books

hunger games

I read two books this week: The Hunger Games and then the second book in the seriesCatching fire. I read each in less than a day (er, like 6 hours straight). I see why people love this series and can't wait for the movies-it's good. I was so wrapped up in the second book that when it ended and I had no way to get the third book I immediately caved in and went online to find out how the story ends. I've never done before but I just couldn't wait until I could get the third book.

So far I have 3 days of low carb food and a day of high carb eating this week closed. Today is another low carb day so I try to stay on point. It seems like I get it down to about 120-150 g carbs easy but something more serious work takes. Even that is very low for me as I know earlier that my CARB intake was about double that.

Good friend's birthday party tomorrow! Really looking forward to the Cambodian food and drink. I had time to read this and enjoyed everything that I read.Actually made it through all my workouts so far and am on schedule!Started wearing my new pink laces! :)

I have five questions for you. Please reply in the comments on give me some fun learning about my readers material. I will also reply in the comments. :)

What website do you visit the most? Where you eat out at last?If you got $ 100 right now what would you do?What is your favorite flavor? (Some flavor ... savory or sweet.)Keep your initials?

That's all for me! I'm off to the gym. :) Have a great weekend!

LiveFit Trainer Week 10

Another week is done! I'm almost the end of this programme, which is a little sad, but I'm actually really relieved. I don't think I could take another few months of this intensive 6 day a week workouts.  I am grateful for the muscle that I built and I have lost fat while doing this program, but I'm ready for something less taxing.

Too much want

That picture makes me laugh hysterically.

This week was a little tough mostly mentally. I felt fat (was retaining a lot of water) and that made me feel pumped and excited about less in turn my workouts. A few days I felt like I wanted to eat everything that makes things difficult, also. I don't, but there were those feeling. I think that despite the small mental hiccups that it was actually a really successful week!

Day 69

Rest! – I read a few books. :)

So this week was actually an exact repeat of last week, except I missed a workout on Saturday and didn't get that last shoulders and triceps training. Bummer! I just decided to move on anyway, and stick with th program instead of Schedule again dismounting.

In addition to the training I began carb cycling this week if the plan suggests. I really didn't follow the nutrition plan before but thought it might be interesting to test out carb cycling as it's not something I've done before. Until now I have found it interesting. It is difficult to eat carbs so little when you're used to eating so much!

Week 10 felt tough, but I found it. I'm moving to week 11 now and the workouts are all circuits that is crazy! I have a feeling that it's going to be a difficult last two weeks.

Exciting Friday five

Snowboarding. Tomorrow. It happens.

Snowboard

(Side note: that is my good friend Josh from high school. Last week he and his wife Lauren-another friend from high school-welcomed their awesome little son in the world! I'm also very excited for that!)

It's been at least 3 years since I've been on a mountain and that is a freaking tragedy. I love snowboarding so much. We don't go to a mountain this time, just an indoor snow thing. It will be a good chance to learn because he never has been for Kepa and it will just be a lot of fun for me to get back on a snowboard at last.

Thank God for daily deals discount sites that offer day passes! Woohoo! I'm so excited that I can't wait!

One. It's been a while since a kind of challenge type thing on the blog. Would anyone be interested in such a thing? Think of things that I'm planning to do after the end of LiveFit.

Two. It took too long to come up with a second thought. Sometimes when writing blog posts for the work Type list or my mind disappears and it takes me sooo long to come up with the next point. It is a very acute case of writer's block that is very annoying. So sometimes, like now, I just give up. Move along boys that the rest of this post is better!

Details: Wedding Cake! (YUM!)

Four awesome things about this Week

We are go snowboarding tomorrow! Need I say more?A very good feeling in my body and loving the Circuit training + cardio workouts this week.Came to know that I will not guilty taxes this year if I thought I could. Yay for keeping my money!Created a new header for the blog. I like it and it feels more me. It gives a better idea about what the blog is about. Thoughts?

I have five questions for you. Please reply in the comments on give me some fun learning about my readers material … I really enjoyed the last week! I'll answer as well. :)

You snowboard or skis? Or neither?Hot weather or cold weather – which you prefer?At what age did you learn to swim? (If you can that is. If you can't, are you planning on learning?)What is the first healthy living or weight loss blog you ever read?What was the previous or next movie you will see in theaters?

My answers:

Snowboard. Cold weather, although I'm more accustomed to hot.It is hard to remember, but I think I was about 10 when I took lessons well but I had gone to the beach and swimming pools for years. My mother will probably correct me if I'm wrong. The first one I remember) about to come was Roni the roads!I'm going to see The Hunger Games movie on Sunday!

Fortunately, in anticipation of your answers my friends. Until then, have a nice weekend!

Phone of a friend

A true friend phone

I got a call from a good friend of mine the other night.  She was obviously very upset and had to talk.

She told me she really struggling.  She has quite a bit of weight to lose and is the last time on a weight-loss rollercoaster.  She was very frustrated and said that I was the only one who could talk with them because nobody knew how it was.

We chatted for a while and I reassured her that she could do this!  We have a plan and figured out how I could help her by some accountability.  I hope they hung up feeling much better than when they are called.  I know when she hung up, I was so proud of her.

She did the one thing that can help her most right click.  She called someone she thought might help and talked about her feelings.

Have you ever felt discouraged and in despair?  Have you ever felt like you knew "stuck were" and not what to do?!?  All sure … we have at some point.  How do you handle those feelings?  Here are some ways I have dealt with them in the past:

Eten

Cry

Eten

Sleep

Eten

Cry

Eten

You notice a pattern?  Nowhere on that list saying, "call someone who has been there and ask for help!"

It dawned on me after we hung that she is a complete rock star.  In the past, she would probably still on the road she was on, getting more weight and feeling more miserable and alone.  This time, she made the choice to the end then and there.  She decided to phone from a friend who could encourage her and help her get back on track.

I would encourage you if you're struggling to to find someone to call.  Lay it all out there and ask them for help.  Perhaps they can help you with accountability.  Maybe they can help you come up with a plan.  Maybe you just need someone to tell you that it will be all OK, and this is just another hurdle that you are going through.

Harvest-up-the-phone!

There are so many people out there that are done that there are, and they can help you!

On another note…I am off to Philly for a work Conference.  Wish me luck like cheese steaks all around me!

Have a great weekend!

How to stay motivated for losing weight

You should be proud of yourself because you are steps for losing your weight and you're one of those people who are empowered to take such measures.
