Wobble the wobble the wobble wobble
Legs feel like JELLO :D feelin better today, and hey tomorrow is FRIDAY<3 yay. So today while I was working out with my friend Alvin I was trying to get the correct form down for the squats and this guy that I see at my gym from time to time gave me a little tip :] its nice knowing ppl are kind enough to give you pointers. However, I still get self conscious being in the “iron jungle” with the guys but whatever I’m trying to put work in and get tone :P
yesterday my friend who teaches crossfit & such said that he can see that I’m getting leaner. yay I’m making some noticeable strides.

Cardio/Abs
Didn’t have a great workout today :/ but I can at least say I completed the whole “Give it your all” HIIT circuit! It was great :P
But here’s today’s workouts. I didn’t do some other ab workouts that I listed in my own log (not shown) because I just started to feel like poo because I think I’m starting to come down with something… ugh

Thought I’ll share something that my friend told me when I posted up my scale picture of 115. Definitely the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me in awhile. Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
“if you can’t handle me at worst, you don’t deserve me at my best”
Also good morning loves, it’s a cold, dark, rainy day in DC but you gotta make the best of it :)

1st two are back in late August early September 2011 before I made my move to DC. 2nd row was this past weekend so late February 2012 :]
Funny how both of these pictures were taken back at my parents house. Its definitely really hard to see progress along your journey, so I’m glad I at least took some before’s!
Before’s are definitely embarrassing!
I’m still not as tone as I like to be so I’m working on that! However I did get the Asian mom stamp of approval. My mom is my worst critic other than myself and she actually said “you’re a good size now, don’t get any skinnier” which means A LOT. :D So yay, I’m trying to compensate for all the times that I haven’t been on tumblr so here you go my before & afters.
