久しぶり！！

It's been over a month since my last post! I bet you all thought I had given up! Well, you're wrong! I've just been super busy! That and with the baby, I'm not getting enough sleep, so after around 2 or 3 pm, I might as well be asleep for all the good my brain is doing! I'm also doing my old friend the 16 week marathon training schedule, that takes a lot out of you energy wise as well, but it's kinda fun now that I'm using Zombies Run! to run with. (granted I've only used it once) Today I'm going to try turning on "zombie chases". Seems like it will be super fun!

So... what does 2013 hold for my blog? I can't promise daily updates, but I'll do my best! I'm doing some coding in my free time, for a convict conditioning app (for my own use) and a Fluxx type game engine (also just for kicks) so expect a lot of updates here about things like that.

Heck, why don't we get started:

tomorrow! :)

See you space cowboys!

3days!

I did it! 3 days in a row!

Dang I'm tired... really short blog!

I had so much I thought about writing today, but now that I'm back from my run, I don't know what to write about!!

Today Emma got another round of shots. Apparently it was really bad and she didn't stop crying for a long time! Poor baby!!

This is how we have a high protein + veggie lunch at 7-11, it has spinach and bacon, an egg,, some veggies, shrimp, cheese, beef and squid -- 6 different proteins! Awesome!

almost... like a grenade

I almost didn't post or exercise today.. but I broke under 103kg today so I did it anyway! Go me!! ... so tiring! Today I emptied my tank on the 20 min HIIT -- number 5 and 6 were especially painful. BPM was 187 on my max... that's a beating heart! My usual resting HR is 50-60 and when I just wake up, around 40 something ... so pretty fast!

Anything exciting to report about? Well, we're happy that North Korea shot off their rocket finally... maybe they'll stop now and never shoot another one again! I think the biggest concern with their damned rockets is not if they are shooting at someone or not, but if it will actually launch and fly like they want it... I'm afraid it might fall out of the sky and crush my house! Their last few tries have been almost comically bad!

I have pictures by the way... here are some shots of Emma at the photo studio:

Skip Day

*gasp*

I missed a day... both blogging and exercising. But it was for a good cause!
More cute pictures of Emma!!

Oooooo video! This is her 100th day photo, usually celebrated as her first day to eat.

Yesterday I did my upper-body routine, as usual... it's brutal! I think I'm getting used to it though.  But the sleep deprivation is taking its toll sometimes I'm just flat out exhausted during the day... 4am to 10:30 pm with Emma waking up randomly  during the night... it's a little tough to get enough sleep.

well... almost time for bed! See you space cowboys!

Day 5 - End of Week 1 and Pomegranates

I'll have to add some pictures to this, but for now we will be picture free!
So, this week has just ended, 2 more weeks of Bizzy and I'll be done! -- Not sure if I'll lose the next 3kg I want or not, but I'll definitely get in some better shape. Leg day, I'm lucky to walk home from the park after all of leg exercises! Yesterday, we went to COSTCO so I broke the diet a little with some cheesecake samples. I made up for it with more veggies and protein today! Just because it's now rice/refined carbs, doesn't mean it has to be boring. Tonight I'm stuffing some mushrooms with some steamed veggies for dinner.

We got 6 king sized pomegranates from COSTCO and had one yesterday night. They are SUPER huge, and so tasty. It's been so long since I've had one, Rieko and I ate it like popcorn!

Anyone watching Green Arrow? I'm a little disappointed they're using the Huntress with him, She's part of the Batman family! I mean, her "origins" are similar, but without Batman and Bruce Wayne it's just weird !!!
Looking forward to this weekend with no exercise! Wednesday night's new person party really tired me out!
Earthquake!!!! we're okay though...
See you space cowboys!

Day 4

Day 4! I'm sleepy today -- but maybe that's due to the new employees welcome party last night that kept me out until 11:30! After showering and brushing my teeth I was in bed by midnight, just in time for Emma to wake up.. she hasn't been able to sleep much at night lately :( Then woke up at 4:30 to start work! YaY! T.T

Today is my first day off from the Bizzy routine. I'm kinda happy :) It's such a challenging work out routine, but the exercises are all body-weight so it's as hard as I make it..

Today is another busy day personally... going here, there everywhere!

Gotta save some energy for tomorrow's workout! last one of the first week! 8 more to go after that! Right now I'm holding at 103kg... doing pretty good so far, just 3 more kg!

Day 3

"Greetings Earthlings, we are now taking over your radio"

--- 5 points for that reference...
Anyway... Here we are, Day 3, of za Bizzy... no delirium, no fatigue, just sore muscles and a lighter me... This morning I was 102.6 and 22.7% body fat... that's 3.4 kg from Monday morning (granted I had GORGED on risotto and ice-cream Sunday night) The weight loss should slow from here.

I'm feeling good so far, and Rieko has been very helpful, not teasing me by making pasta dishes or buying Tim Tams from the store. I'm not much into carbs, but dessert ... mmm mmmm mmm... I think my diet has been good so far, here's my breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled with zucchini and a chicken sausage. Last night's dinner was a great cold shabu-shabu salad with avocado, mizuna and celery (I added a little extra tuna to mine while Rieko ate some giant shu-mai) -- lunch was just a shredded pork and veggie sautee... I've been meaning to eat some fruit, but I've just been so full I don't think about it.

This diet also has me taking 2 protein shakes a day at snack time. For the first time ever, I ordered some protein from Body Building.com and it is SO good... I got chocolate peanut butter, I mix it with some hot water and it's like a hot-chocolate! Tomorrow is finally a rest day! I hope I can make it through today's routine... it's just super brutal!

So... that was boring right? How about I post some photos from Thanksgiving... please avert your eyes if my ginormous stomach makes an appearance.
