2018 – Fitness Friday 29 (on a Saturday)

Posted on by | Leave a comment

It’s Saturday everyone. How are you guys doing today? I’m doing alright, thank you very much. The smoke has been terrible here in Sacramento due to the Camp Fire in Butte County. Schools have even closed down due to the terrible air quality. Seriously, there were days where the smoke was just sitting there, like fog.

I’ve been trying to stay indoors for the most part and have been unable to walk outside during my breaks due to the poor air quality. I’m trying to stay indoors as much as I can.

Anyway, here were my workouts this week.

I only ran once this week and it was just intervals. I’m happy I am incorporating some running at least. I just hate running on the treadmill at the gym since I get so hot easily. There are times that I get so hot that I have to walk, even though I’m not technically tired. If the smoke wasn’t so bad outside, I’d try to run for a bit outside after work while there’s still light. Oh well.

I also haven’t been doing yoga as I would have liked to. I just like sleeping more in the morning. But I do know there are benefits to doing exercise in the morning. Especially if it’s yoga. It will help me wake up and feel energized for the day. I have alarms set to wake me up but I always click on “snooze”. I have to stop doing that!

Well, that’s it for now.

How were your workouts this week?

It’s Saturday everyone. How are you guys doing today? I’m doing alright, thank you very much. It’s been a very busy week. Election Day, Birthday Dinners, Jesse McCartney concert, I’m so tired today. It was nice to sleep in a little bit today.

Anyway, before I get into anything else, here were my workouts this week.

So, I did run more this week. It’s a good thing. However, I haven’t been waking up early to do some yoga. I want to do it at least two times a week since I feel that yoga is good for the mind, body, and soul. Plus, I want to gain some flexibility again. LOL.

Well, that’s it for now.

Happy Saturday everyone. How are you guys doing today? I’m doing alright, thank you very much. I had a great Saturday. I did hot yoga with a couple of friends (omg, it was hard! I haven’t gone to a yoga class in years though I do my own yoga stretches at home), and we went to the Farmer’s Market. It was fun and great to catch up.

Anyway, I always post this late. I don’t know when I’ve actually ever posted a Fitness Friday post on a Friday. Here it is!

So, yes, my workouts look a little different from the usual that I have been doing. I think it’s a good thing to switch things up. I am so happy I took the yoga class with my friends. It made me realize that I should do it again more often, even if it’s just doing a YouTube yoga video. Yoga is good for you as, as so is strength training and cardio. I also want to get back into running more, so we’ll see how it goes.

Well, that’s it for now!

Do you like yoga?

2018 – Fitness Friday 26 (on a Sunday)

It’s Sunday everyone. How are you guys doing today? I’m doing alright, thank you very much. I had a very busy weekend. I’m sorry I haven’t been posting. I really do want to do more health/nutrition posts.

Anyway, I went to watch a Sacramento King’s basketball game Friday night and they won. Yay! On Saturday, I finally watched the movie A Star is Born. And, omg. You HAVE TO WATCH IT!!!! I was never a Lady Gaga fan. But after watching this movie, I am! She was amazing! And so was Bradley Cooper! Who knew that Lady Gaga can act and that Bradley Cooper can sing! I loved all the songs! I was totally surprised with the beginning. Black Eyes, the song, was amazing. He did it live! All of their songs were performed live in the movie, which is amazing! As you can tell, I loved the movie and the music. It’s a must see! And the today, I went hiking with the novio. Yea, I had a busy packed weekend!

So, here were my workouts last week.

Have you watched A Star is Born? If not, you have to! 

2018 – Fitness Friday 25 (on a Sunday) + Cellphone Detox

Posted on by | Leave a comment

Happy Sunday everyone. How are you guys doing today? I’m doing alright, thank you very much. It’s been a very busy weekend and I finally have some time to type up a post. My sister came to visit and I’ve been busy with family.

Anyway, here were my workouts the past week.

My workouts were pretty simple and I really do need to start mixing things up.

In other news, I want to start some sort of cell phone detox challenge. You’d be surprised how much time you spend on your phone, whether it’s texting or checking your social media accounts (Instagram, SnapChat, etc.). I really want to do something more productive in my life than just laying in bed and looking at other people’s lives.

Here is my plan on how to do this:

  1. Designate a time to check e-mails and social media accounts.
    • Blog Posts – take no more than half an hour at a time to work on one. If I need more time, I’ll work on it the next day. My goal is to have three posts a week: Fitness Friday, Weekly Meals and Workouts, and a nutrition/health post. Once in a while, I’d throw in a personal post. However, I haven’t been consistent with any posting. I want to improve that.
    • Check my social media accounts no more than once an hour (yes, it’s sad that I check multiple times a day).
  2. Occupy my time with doing something productive, which could include:
    • Improve my cello playing skills OR learn to play the guitar once I buy one (no more than 30 minutes at a time)
    • Study for the GRE (30 minutes a day)
    • Improve my Spanish (30 minutes a day; audiobooks?)
    • Include some yoga stretching/ab exercises into my routine
    • Reading
  3. Stay off your phone while you’re eating dinner or while you’re spending time with people. It is one thing to grab your phone quickly to show your friend/family member something but don’t start texting other people/posting and ignoring the person you’re with.
  4. Turn off your alerts/notifications on your phone.
  5. No phone usage an hour before bedtime (however, you can call family members/loved ones to say good night).

Well, the main thing is that I want to spend less time on my phone scrolling through social media and start doing something with my free time. You’d be surprised how much time you are spending on your phone. There are apps out there that can help track your phone usage and I think it would be a great idea to try it out for a week and see how much you’re actually using your phone. For me, I already know I am on my phone a lot.

Well, that’s it for now!

How often are you on your phone or on social media?
