Backlogs and Friday ARMS!

Hello Fluffies,

It's been a short while since I last did a log! Like ever since the day I left for Bangkok I think. I did follow through working out regularly but just did not have the time and energy to post them. I've been waking up and leaving home early in the morning and going home late at night. Thank god my boyfriend's been by my side these few days to help me pull through the sudden crazy schedule.

If you are wondering about how my Bangkok trip was, I will be doing a separate post on it, filled with pictures and ADDRESSES so you can go check those places out if you happen to be heading to Bangkok anytime soon. 

And yes I did managed to workout ONCE while in Bangkok haha. Here's a picture of the hotel gym. Can I say its very badly stocked??? NO BAR BELLS. WHAT. and no squat machine. We had to share the machines. 
Here's the workout sequence that I did(base on what I can remember):
1. Running on thread mill:
    15mins 
2. Squats, holding 2 of 8kg dumbbells:
    3 sets of 15 reps 
3. Walking lunges with kick backs, holding 2 of 8kg dumbbells:
    3 sets of 15 reps 
4. Tricep stretch with 8kg dumbell:
    1 set of 15 reps (My arms nearly snapped)
5. 20 sit ups (lol, I rly hate sit ups)

Yesterday, I was pressed for time but wanted to pack more punch into the short workout time that I had. So here's my choice of workouts if you are interested to know how I try to fit in more work into a short frame of time.:
2. Thigh trimmer and butt lifter <- Toning work
3. Lolo jones legs and lunges workout <- Toning and light cardio

I try to work more of my legs whenever I'm pressed for time because our quad muscles burn more calories as compared to the other muscles in your body. Short intense HIITs or cardio workouts are also the way to go to have the effect of afterburn so that your body stays fired up for the most part of the day. 

For today, I had more time and did more toning work and because its the time of the month, I didnt want to go too crazy on my body in the cardio department.:

Bikini Blaster 7: Bodacious Back and Sleek Shoulders:

POP Pilates: Tricep Toner:

POP Pilates: Never ever getting back together workout:

Like Money Apartment Friendly cardio workout:

3 Min Thighs:

That's all for today!

Tuesday Abs and Wednesday Arms&Shoulders

Hello fluffies,

There's a whole lotta blogilates videos coming up.

It was cardio abs workouts for Tuesday! I switched one of the ab workouts out for a cardio instead because cardio is more important than ab exercises if what you really want is to achieve 6pec abs etc.

1. 5 Minute Fat Burner:

2. Flat Stomach Fat Melter:

3. Lower Belly Flattener:

4. The 5 Best & Most effective ab exercises:

5: Abs on Fire: 

For some reason, this workout seemed a little harder to do today.

6. The bold & the bootiful workout:


For Wednesday's workout, it was a little bit more special. It featured Sexy broom workout and Towel Tonefest workout. I know you haven't seen these featured on my posts so far. In fact I can't remember the last time I did them. They were so tough but so good too. Cassey finally decided to bring these 2 crazy mamas back into the calendar. I gotta admit I got worried when I saw Wednesday's workout plan but as usual, I went with it anyway.

1. Sexy broom burn for trim thighs and sculpted back:
All you really need is a stick. A long stick.

2. Towel Tonefest workout:

3. Toned arms & sculpted back POP pilates:

4. Back On Fire POP pilates :

Friday rest day

It's Fridayyyyyy

Not that it makes much of a difference to me but, TGIF! I hope you will have a wonderful weekend :)
Headed down to the east today and basically got caught in a series of never ending blizzards. My attempt to warm myself up by walking through the night market and eating hot food didn't help much. In fact, I'm down with a flu now. :(

Luckily, I did my workouts earlier today before heading out. Or else I would have no strength to do anything!

1. Fat Burning Cardio Workout at Home:

2. Victoria's secret angel arm workout:

3. 100 squats. 
My inspiration for doing a random 100 squats came from watching Cassey's new 1000 squats challenge. I used to think weight 20 squats to like... 5 burpees maybe. Now, a 100 is not many. In fact, it barely felt like a warm up. Working out everyday definitely made me a stronger girl. The numbers do sound scary. But I do believe that with effort, they are achievable.. Maybe one of these days, I'll give the 1000 squats challenge a try. But right now after a long cardio and arm toning session, what do we say to a 1000 squats?

NOT TODAY!

Monday Workout log

Hi Ya'll fluffies,

It was a loooong day. But definitely a happy one :) My boyfriend and I went up to our secret hideout again and it was as beautiful as ever. We can't wait for our trip to start really. Can't wait for wednesday to come!

Morning was a trip to the market with my mother and these chrysanthemums just look too pretty! I had to take a picture.


Today, I'd like to show you my lunchbox. If you knew me personally, you would know that I am a serial lunch box packer. It saves me money from eating out and is a greater excuse for me to eat clean. It seems that I've rubbed off this habit onto my boyfriend and he packs his meals too to eat with me. That is really nice of him because I don't feel as awkward and lonely, eating my lunchbox meals.:) I know how it feels to be the only weirdo amongst your peers, eating your own lunchbox meals. I was really self concious at first but eventually I just thought, screw what they think. I care more about what I can do for my body than how they think of me because how they think of me, is not going to change my body and who I am.
Brussels sprouts, peas, carrots, corn, brown rice, 2 egg whites, chicken shreds and mustard!
Btw, isn't that Spork cute?? It's pink! lol


I know it would be difficult for me to workout while on vacation so I'm actually trying to cram in as much as I can before Wednesday's afternoon flight. Hopefully I would get to sweat during some of our adventure activities. 

So here's today's workout dear fluffies :)
