Rest day

I used to take my rest day Saturday or Friday but It fitted me pretty good when I took sunday off while Summer Strong.

So I tried my first week of rest day today.

We walked around Flea market as usual.

It was so hot and humid!!

Looking around usually takes us 2 hours to finish 😁

I got a bundle of asparagus.

Other veggies were from Father in law's vegetable garden.

Been awhile!!!

I know I know I know!!!
It's been for awhile since last blog!!!

Guess WHAT??!!!

I am still on my fitness journey!! Phew!
If I know how to link my instagram or facebook page post here...

so If you know.. please let me know!!!!


since Last post...
I had a surgery end of Feb.
Endomatrios Ablation...
It took 2 weeks until I really felt better.
so I was away from my workout about 20 days or so...

After my back to workout... it was a bit hard.. but I was so glad to be back.
Oh my.. I can't believe I said that!!

and I got my GREEN BELT on KARATE!!
My daughter and I were supposed to take a test in December... but we had pretty hard time to take care of relatives.. and losses after that.

so I really wanted to take a test on April and got a new belt!

and also.. I first time ran 2 miles on treadmill!!

From the beginning of April, I was in 60 days of Summer Strong Challenge.
and also whole30 based challenge on our challenge group.

After those 2 challenges... I lost close to 9lbs and 7 inches total.
The Total Inch loss is not including all measurements.
My calves were a few inches smaller  (￣▽￣)Ｖ
I have not been focus so much weights... but I was struggling the weight to hit under line... I had been back and forth.. the LINE!!!

Here is the RESULTS!!!!!

Do you just need to loose Weight?
if you didn't build your lean muscles... your weight will be back.
If you just need to build muscles? your muscles will be tired.. and try to build up extra energy source inside of your body.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
What will you need????
You need exercise that fit YOU.
You need good nutrition. ( need to choose wisely)
You need good supporter.
That's why I am here for you :)
As you know, my new challenge has already started.
Whole30 challenge might be over.. but I will try to do as much as possible.
When you or your friends, relatives, family members need... please feel free to share this ;)

Almost year

I haven't forgot about here 😅

It's about a year since I started my joirney.

This is Me last year... 

I started Karate December 2014.... after a few months of WALKING to get back to fit a little ....

I could walk about a mile or 2... it was still hard to catch up even warming-up at Karate.

I knew I should do something else!!!

"Should I go to Gym?"

"Should I get treadmill?"

I knew I had to work on cardio... leg, arm, shoulder.. wait.. it's called WHOLE BODY!!!

I needed my flexibility back.. strength back... stamina back as well..

And I Knew Going to GYM sounds better than Treadmill 

but hey... Can I go to Gym 3 days a week at least????

and I found better solution!!! 

I saw some fitness video (New Launch ) on our family friend's post on FB... 

"hey!!! I love Low Impact (since My cardio wasn't strong at all)

and looks good for what I needed !!! Flexibility, strength, cardio... total body !!! "

and "I can do work out at HOME!!"

I don't have to think about rain or shine, I don't have to think about what I wear.. or running nose during workout.. or gas came out ;) 

I don't have to worry about traffic either!

and... let see... only 1 concern was... CAN I KEEP DOING?

Doubting doubting worrying worrying ... that was ME  Last year .

Trying to find a Hiding Spot... right? ;)

How to do when you are in LOW motivation?

Hi All!!

Thank you for stopping by my blog :)

Everyone has that day right?
It's hard to keep up workout when I am in low motivation.
I have had a few times... and each time, I gave myself EXCUSES.


"yes.. You are tired.. you can take a rest"
" well.. You may catch up tomorrow... if you feel like it"
"That's special gift for you because you have been doing GREAT!!"


and then...
It's hard to CATCH UP !!!
I was ease up myself for a few weeks after my karate test.
I kept doing my workout.. but I reduced a few extra..
When I tried to be back regularly workout.. IT WAS SUPER HARD!!!


Lesson Learned!!
Even low motivation.. I try hard as I can!!!
don't ease up too long too much!

I have had low motivation in there days...
yes.. it was hard to keep up when my motivation was LOW..
My body and mind couldn't help each other.
I was doing modified modifier most of moves..
I had skipped my Super food which is healthy meal of day
so I tried to take once a day at least no matter what!!
It's not the best to drink or eat them for cook.. because those heat will break down a part of nutrition.. yes.. some of them are weak for heat.
but Better than Nothing!!

Yesterday, I was up 4:00 or so..
I felt better already.. and First time ever.. I did workout before 8!
I got "SWEAT" and after finished it.. I FELT Better and BETTER!!!!
I did all way without modified version.

You don't have to Push TOO MUCH.. but sometimes you need to determinate to KEEP GOING even you are in low motivation or mood ;)

I knew I could do physically.. but emotionally stopped me.
but don't forget about listening what your body really tell you :)
You only can understand and listen to your body.

:)

Rest Day

It was cool morning today😃
We didn't need AC until afternoon!!

Today was my rest day of workout schedule.
yes.. we need a rest once awhile to keep going, right? 😉
I really wanted to do workout today... but well... I decided to take my rest day.

I have felt pain in my shoulder for more than few days.. so it may be good for me to take a rest.


This old lady "Oreo" is taking a rest most of day though... 😁
She is 17 years old.

Even fitness was rest day .. I was still working on my self development !!

 
Have a great night everyone　💓

You Are Beautiful!!!

Hey, thank you for stopping by my blog :)

Yesterday, My friend lost her good friend and made a video and tell everyone her important message.
I was thinking about to leave my comment and share her video.

But I couldn't.

Because I know how my friends feel.. also I know how her friend felt.
I understand both of side.

and I am so afraid of flash back and get a trigger.
so Instead of sharing her video or leaving my comment on her post.. I decided to post here.
Because I KNOW some of YOU know what I am talking about.
or
Some of YOU are thinking about IT!

Her friend lost her own life.

I might be her.
It's easy to say " You are gonna be FINE!" or " Ask someone's help"

When he/she or YOU are IN the situation... you will think " NO! I am NOT gonna be FINE!!!!" " Who is gonna HELP ME????!!!!!"

right?

It's in middle of darkness... even strongly WISH seeing a small light...

You can't see that..

Even you tried...
Usually.. person who is IN the middle of that situation.. doesn't start " HEY! I am thinking about giving up myself!!... but I may  or not.. what do you think? :) "

or " Hey.. I need a HELP"

more likely... start " hi... how are you doing? I am just wondering. just say hi" or " would you like to come over have a coffee or something???"
They will ask you something very general...


They don't think the person is thinking about "IT" at all.. so they will reply " well.. yea.. ok.. just let me know when" or " so sorry.. I can't do right now -  I will let you know" or.. " Oh Yes.. we will have fun!! we need to set up date soon!! "( and never happened )


It's gonna HIT YOU right?

I chose to isolate from other people... but inside of me.. I REALLY NEEDED SOMEONE!!
I tried to avoid contact anyone.. even my family was around.. I was HARD to be there..

From Other people , " if you are not telling me, I never know!! come one girly!!"

so have very big gap in between.
Both side right!! nothing wrong!!

but I am gonna telling YOU.

My heart is aching RIGHT NOW just writing this.. I am trying to not cry right now!!
I am trying hard to REFUSE to go back !!!
Oh hell no!! I don't want go BACK again....

listen... You can go through this.. I don't know you.. and you don't know me...
but Believe me.. YOU CAN!!! You can SEE a LIGHT.
You already have LIGHT just can't see it right now.

You are beautiful inside that's why you are suffering.
Those suffers make you wiser, smarter, stronger and beautiful more than anyone else.
I remind you one more time.. You are WORTH to CHANGE IT!!
You can have POWER to CHANGE it yourself!! you may need someone to cheer you up.. Grab someone!! if they don't or can't ... tell ME.

My English is not perfect.. but I listen to you.. :) I think about you :) I smile for you :) I cry with you :) I hug you.. I KISS YOU.. what?? no thank you for that one.. OK ;)
but I will do.. in person or in virtually :)

Think and feel You are gonna see your LIGHT!!! Desire it!!

and

Bring self UP!!! SMILE yourself..
just show your smile to Yourself.. go to bathroom.. and smile :)
do you want me to tickle you? ;)
You may not like first.. keep trying..

Start feel anything.. Blue sky.. fresh air... green tree.. pet your pet!! hug your daughter or son, anything makes you feel comfortable or better.

keep going a little by little!!!

Start 10 minutes breath in & out in the morning .
or 10 minutes light exercise.. or stretching.

Promise??
You are not ALONE!!!! Follow me ;)
I started my journey... I feel more confidence myself.. and feel better.
Barely happens back then... I had NEVER thought those days are back!!

I couldn't even think of going outside without fear.
I couldn't even think of getting OUT that situation.

I still have lots of issue.. not solve.. but at least.. I have POWER.
I am right behind you.. or front of you!

You are WORTH. You have POWER to go through it!!
Your LIGHT is ALWAYS inside of YOU.. even You can NOT see right now from you.

Love,
