funnies of the day.....

....at least to me.
I went to Panera before class today to grab some dinner and read a bit. I noticed that I was getting alot of glances. I thought that was quite odd. So I ate, read, and sat for a while. When I got done, I headed for my car and as I saw my reflection from the passenger window, I noticed my fly was down. lol... no wonder.

Then I headed to my school and went to the library to read the rest of my chapter. I went into this room with glass doors and lounge chairs with desks. One other guy was there and this girl walks in, puts her things down, then sat on the guy and they started cuddling. I felt so awkward because I was the only other person there. Then I thought to myself, it'd be funny if she didn't know the guy and she just does that to random people. Then a few minutes later her supposed bf leaves. A few minutes after that she starts walking towards me. As I looked up I thought, "oh don't sit on my lap, pls don't sit on my lap". She smiled and politely asks if I can watch her things while she steps out. I said sure. Thank God she didn't sit on my lap.

Visible Progress finally!

So, I've been on the journey to lose some fat to look good in my bathing suit next week. I've been doing cardio and strength training and watching what I eat when I can. I can't even remember the last time I went to Mc. Donald's. My taste buds have also been reseted. A lot of things are either too sweet or too salty. I've been going to fitness forums and they all said that visible results aren't possible in the first month. I found that to not be true. My face lost some fat, my butt and boobs deflated (not too happy about that), and my arms are visibly slimmer. My mid section has lost some but hard to notice. The midsection is the last area to lose fat.
I only have one week until my Colorado vacation. YAY!!! I cannot wait. I'm not going to look perfect in my bathing suit, but it was still an improvement. I'm happy. I probably would've lost more weight if I had done this whole diet and exercise thing during the holidays-thanksgiving-.
I feel so lucky to be with someone and be able to go to trips and do fun things together. We were going to go to Peurto Rico instead of Colorado but we didn't feel like waiting for our passports. I have to renew mine. We'll probably just go next time. It was so much fun when we went to New York. That trip is definitely going to be one of the memories that's going to last me forever. I love going on trips.
I feel so blessed right now, everything is oh so good. I'm very content with my life despite what some people try to do to bring me down. Yea some dumb person accused me of some stupid crap and gave me empty threats and told me watch out. I can't wait to see her somewhere because she will regret what she said. hehe. But anyways, she's just jealous like she has always been. Enough of that. I hope everything goes smoothly on my trip. I need it before next semester starts.

hello.

My boyfriend and I went swimming last night. I don't know how to swim and so all I did was try to learn how to thread water and kick while swimming with the board thing. My legs got a good workout out of it. My boyfriend was fucking around with the board and it somehow shot up full force and hit my left eye. I was so worried I was going to get a black eye. I couldn't open my eye for a good 5 mins. What a jerk huh? Oh yea, it was an indoor heated pool at our school. It was fun. After swimming, we went to get sushi. I'm supposed to be on a low carb diet so I kind of cheated. It was really good though.

As you can see, It's not healthy sushi. It was super yummy though. I also got this book. It's called Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku. It's a very interesting book. I love it. It basically explores the idea of the things you see on science fiction shows and movies like force fields, time travel, teleportation, etc. I also got some stuff from MAC to reward myself for being good about working out everyday. I got pink poodle lipglass, girl about town l/s, verdigris metal x, inky and inkspill liquidlast liners, and technakohl in graphblack.

pic of me wearing the lip. excuse the mess, I just got done at the gym. I just got my uber camera so I'll be taking lots of pics. woot.

I learned alot in two weeks

I gained a vast knowledge of working out, healthy foods, and staying fit in the last two weeks. I've been working out vigorously and watching what I eat. I learned that it's harder for women to lose the pounds than men. I only lost 3 3/4 lbs last week. Women, by nature, pack more fat than men. I also learned the physiological and, if you will, evolutionary reason why humans pack more fat when we starve ourselves. I also learned that the body burns carbohydrates first, then fat, then muscle. Your neck is proportional to the rest of your body. That means, as you lose inches around your waist, your neck also gets smaller. I've lost probaby 3/4-1 in around my waist. I was hoping for better results seeing as how hard I work out and my calorie intake is cut in half. I learned that to alleviate sore muscles as a result of a hard workout is to stretch and work out more. As I find out more and more things about the human body, I find it counterintuitive. It's fascinating.

my first spinning class

So i went to my first spinning class last nite. I've been trying to prepare myself for this by jogging and jumproping. I've been trying to strengthen my legs for this. I went last nite and it was intense. I couldn't keep up and was very awkward. Everyone else was doing it like it was nothing while I was dying with every pedal. I felt proud of myself after the class. If I don't loose weight doing that, then I don't know what will. I weighed myself monday night. I weighed a wopping 115 lbs. That is a lot for my size. I didn't even eat that much that day. I've been working out a lot and watching what I eat. I don't know if I will achieve losing 10 lbs by dec. I will weigh myself again this friday. I hope to lose at least a pound this week. If I lose a pound a week then I'll lose 5 lbs by dec 15. Which will be somewhat good enough.

I finally updated my old cybershot!

I updated to a new and much improved cybershot! t500. I've had my other camera for almost 4 yrs. It was time for a new one. I just ordered it on amazon.com. I can't wait to play with it. I was debating whether to get the t500 or the t700. The t500's hd video capability just stole my heart. I can't wait to capture some good pictures and videos in Colorado. woo hoo!

I've been MIA. things ive been up to lately.

I've been quite busy. I've been going to school and working and hanging out with friends, family, and boyfriend. Also, I was recently laid off from work. Well, technically not laid off yet. My job end date is the 30th of Nov. You might say, oh how unfortunate, but it couldn't have been more perfect timing for me. I feel bad for the other people in my department though. So basically, our whole building got laid off. The reason why we didn't lose our jobs right away is because they are gradually moving the work to Orlando. Anyways, it was perfect timing because I had planned to quit in Jan. to go to school full time. This way I get severance and receive government compensation. I had saved up enough money to live off of for a year and I also managed to pay off all my credit cards and my car before finding out about losing my job. Someone was definitely watching out for me. Divine or instinctual. So now I only have my car insurance, gas, and cell phone bill. My boyfriend said he'll help me with gas and I think he'll take over the cell phone bill also. We usually take turns since we have a family plan. I will still be getting paid until the end of Dec. I feel very fortunate and I can't thank God enough for this to happen this way.

Now that I have more free time, the boyfriend and I planned a one-week vacation to Colorado in Dec. Pagosa Springs to be specific. I've never experienced "hot springs" before and I am super excited. However, my body is not bathing suit ready so I have been cracking down on it full force. My school offers a variety of work-out classes, if you will, from yoga to zumba to kickboxing and pilates which I am taking full advantage of. I have also decided to try this low carb diet. Since my biggest issue is my mid section, I found out from research that the low carb diet is the best diet to tackle this problem. So that means going against all of my asian instincts to eat rice. Boo hoo. I promised myself this bathing suit when I reach my bathing suit body goal:


We also plan on going snowboarding and skiing so I had to get some gear. Upon searching the internet for ski pants and ski gloves, I realized that there was no way I was going to cough up $200 for those items. Women's ski pants start at around $140 for a good quality and gloves start at $50. So I ended up getting kids sizes! I spent $100 for ski pants, gloves, and hat. I still have yet to try on the pants. I just ordered them online and I hope that they fit. They are XLyouth and supposed to fit a 16 yr old. lol.





I have also been spending more time with my family and friends. My family and I usually go out to lunches and dinners when we're all together which is nice. I've also been hanging out with my friends more than usual since I had less hours spent at work. We usually go to bars, play scattegories, game nights, or just hanging out nite. It's quite fun. There is also this margarita fest next weekend which I am debating whether or not to go. I've been working hard on my body and to go to an all you can drink and eat would be counterproductive at its fullest. I just want to hang out with friends. Maybe I'll just meet up with them afterwards.
OOh I forgot to mention the best part. I am an avid player of world of warcraft. I'm borderline addicted. I got my mage to level 70 last sunday and I am super happy. For those not familiar with WOW, 70 is currently the highest level. An expansion pack which will enable us to go to 80 comes out in nov 13. I cannot wait. Here's a pic of my mage, leeadama, with her xmas outfit:


yea, I'm a total nerd. heh. Well gotta get back to playing some more wow. Gotta rack up them bg marks for uber gear.
