Livefit Day 66

more like day666..

lol the chest abs and shoulders day in phase 3 is freaking brutal!

I cannot believe how far I’ve come, making protein shakes on my walk to class, squeezing in gym time between classes or in the AM.. prepping meals ahead of time in baggies… Emotionally I feel 10/10, physically not so much.. all this planning for finishing livefit and balancing Uni finals is kicking the crap out of me!

As exhausted as I am, I’ve almost faithfully adhered to the program.. I’m feel like im running the homestretch back in HS Track and Field…shoot. There’s no way in hell I’m giving up, but at the same time I know that the formula for the limit does exist when you don’t give your body does not have enough time to recover and rest. (LOL i dont know why I just ref. mean girls)

All in all, I see progress, but I think with the intense cardio sessions mixed with less hours of sleep and “Low carbing” might do worse for the long run..which means I need to really sleep and plan my meals even more intensely.

God… and I need to move out of my apt right after my last finals. FML wish me luck guyzzz <3

p90x/insanity hybrid recap

Got up at 830am to start living fit through Jamie Eason’s livefit program!! 

Spring break was such a tease for a week. But I was dreading it towards the end because I honestly wanted to take full advantage of the school gym. Eating at home didnt go bad like winter break and I feel actually accomplished for not binging at all. My problem going home is the lack of clean food and just processed junk all around. It was easier to not give in to cravings since my body just seemed to be adapted from the 12 week cycle of p90x/insanity.
Overall, through the sweat and blood. The program really does work but I think incorporating livefit’s clean eating program mostly attributed to the body fat that melted away from my stomach.. I learned that its really 70% diet 30% exercise, no matter how intensely or not I worked out everyday. It’s still hard for me to realize that I dont have that  stubborn flab of upper stomach roll/nub  (which have had all of my life)poking out when I relax and sit! I see and feel the ridges of my muscles from 2 rounds of ab ripper x (which might I add I incorporated in the gym) and definition in my arms. I learned to accept my natural body shape and work with it in splits, to shape it, through p90x. I would definitely recommend it for people starting to lift. Its a great rudimentary program! I wouldn’t really stick to doing insanity too much since its not only mentally tiring to repeat the same videos but its super hard on my joints which is not cool and muscle-deteriorating in the long run(excess cardio when gaining) Not to say, I would incorporate those programs into my own regimen in the future. The programs are really wel structured for home workout programs and people like me who want to lose that extra fat in order to leaning out.

I’m ready for a transformation though…nope not a half assed one. A full, follow-the-diet-rigidly no cheat weekends but I hope to learn to change my lifestyle completely from jamies program… Im skinnier yeah but I dont want to be skinny fat with tons of cardio…I wanna lift!! Sculpt! Shape! see how my body reacts to strength training and nourishing the shit out of it…its amazing to see the crazy inspirational transformations for JE livefit veterans. 

Weight-liftingu? kakkoi desune!

Week 9

feels good to start the Chest and Back workout today! Worked up a sweat, felt pretty exhausted by the end. Wooh so much pushups in this video I forgot about! 

I was in my Japanese class today and she asked if we lived a “health-sy lifu styru-” in japanese lol and asked me to share what I did. I said I run and lift and shes like woah kkakkoi (awesome/cool) haha and that was the little push I needed to bike back home and start phase 3 super bossness. ahaha

In other news, nomming on some Fage (yess no more chobani) with some homemade fruit protein bars! I bought some dried mixed fruit from Costco and it tasted like shit so i had to do something with them lol. The prunes and the overall dietary fiber in there makes you go to the bathroom fsho lmao I guess this is a good constipation reliever if you throw some prunes up in there

recipe here!

Off to class!!
