A pretty uneventful week. It went by fast!

On Monday the ramen shop Ippachiya was giving away coupons for a free plate of gyoza... so we each got one to go with our bowl of ramen. Delicious but of course I didn't feel so hot after I was finished. So oily. >_<

Lost 2.4 kilos this month. I'm satisfied with that, and also with the changes in my body. My collarbones are bangin' and my shoulders and waist are looking better. I feel most confident and happier, and less stressed. Things are going really well.

Results are courtesy of Yogaglo, Insanity, and a mostly vegetarian/ vegan diet. As always, please ( Read more... )

Still have this stupid cold, but at least it's in the final stages. Today is the first day of the Shinkyokushin All-Japan Tournament, and RooG and I had tickets to go see it in Tokyo. But I woke up feeling like hell-- fever, cough, headache, and best of all, a hoarse, ridiculous-sounding voice. Carrier monkey RooG is almost over his, but not quite ( Read more... )

RooG's had a cold for the past few days now. I was so smug in my belief that I wouldn't get it, because I hardly ever get sick. So imagine my sadness when I woke up 45 minutes early for some reason and realized that I had a sore throat ( Read more... )

This weekend was nice. :) Friday night we decided to go out for dinner. We had all-you-can-eat yakiniku at Gyu-Kaku. Ate too much, of course. It was delicious. ;_;

Today I did the first video of month 2 of Insanity, Max Interval Circuit. whew!!!! That was a toughie. D-: First of all, the Month 2 workouts are LONG-- 60min on average as opposed to 40. And the movements are more advanced. And... did I mention it's a full hour long? D ( Read more... )

The big news for today is that Shaun T, the creator of Insanity, got married last weekend! That's cool. But what surprised me was that... he married a dude! Whoa!! I had no idea he was gay. I've spent hours with Shaun in my living room, you see, so in a weird way I feel like I know him. Just proves how little I actually do know ( Read more... )

Quick fitness status report for posterity: Today I completed an Insanity workout for the first time in a week, wearing one of these on each ankle. I was careful to go easy at first and to modify any exercises that my ankles don't like (I'm looking at you, Power Jumps), and I made it out ok! It was really fun (and hard ( Read more... )

On Fridays I don't work and RooG goes to the dojo at night, so I have a lot of time to myself. My ankle is still busted (wahh), so I made today a super yoga day on Yogaglo ( Read more... )

On Tuesday when I was doing Insanity (Pure Cardio), about halfway through my ankle started to hurt again. I managed to finish the workout but it hurt for the rest of the day. I iced it in the evening. It hurt a little bit the next morning too, so I decided to take yesterday off from Insanity and just do yoga instead ( Read more... )
