Hello, everyone!

Again, another week has passed since I’ve last video blogged to you lovely people.

I had great fun with other high school choirs today, I cut my hair, and I watched the long-awaited Hunger Games movie. I’ve never watched the Hunger Games, but it’s kind of funny how I have my OWN hunger games of a sort going on in my life right now… aha… you get it?.. I’m a loser sh.

ANYWAY, I’m just going to pull my socks up and get back to business. Not much time before prom - less than two months… ALMOST A MONTH. Uuuughhhh :( Excited, but a little nervous at the lack of time now :(

I will do my best though! “Hwaiting!” (lolol korean). Leggo!

Cheers,

Rachel

Like if you’re a fellow “healthy-lifestyle-er”!

We’re not on a diet - we’re on a lifestyle change ;)

On that note, new video up soon!

Zombies, Run!

You seriously get SUCH an adrenaline rush, and before I knew it, I had run half an hour on the treadmill! The storyline is so engaging; you’re the LAST ONE STANDING; you HAVE to save yourself and others for the GREATER GOOD. It’s incredibly involving, and I HIGHLY recommend it. Get it on the AppStore - soon to be coming out for Android!

Hey guys!

Aha…. awkward pause while I feel sorry for not updating in a very long time..
I’ve been in Orlando, with tons of fun, frolicking, and FOOD. There are so many things that one just HAS to try, especially in light of the new Harry Potter World and its marvelous Honeydukes candy shop. I am a legitimate Harry Potter dork, but NOT one of those yucky bandwagoners. I’ve loved Harry Potter every since I first picked up Ms. Rowling’s first book in my first grade, and I’ve stuck with him since the beginning. I love this series for the magic, for the innocence, and for the lessons of love - not because others like him, and because “nerd” is the new cool. That irks me…a lot.

Anyway! I’m now going to do Legs and Back P90X followed by a grueling Ab Ripper X. If I have time, I’m going to try out, ZOMBIES, RUN! on the treadmill, and protect my brains from the zombie mob behind me ;)

I’ll talk to you guys very soon! Have a fantastic spring break for those of you who are still on yours, and for those of you who aren’t, just enjoy the warmer weather and brighter sunshine :)

Cheers!

gahh sorry I haven’t updated!!

I’m currently in Orlando on vacation, eatin’ up a storm in Disney, Gatorland, etc. (and also working out a storm to counteract the turkey legs) and just haven’t been able to update with a video!

It’s super hard to eat healthy out at these theme parks, so I’ve just been going at the elliptical and p90x like crazy. I feel a lot stronger, but I’m worried about my heart rate and work out intensity. I think I’m in the anaerobic zone which, although burns calories, is supposedly not burning a lot of those from fat. So, although I feel stronger, the “ham” on the outside isn’t really coming off… but I don’t have time to go hours on the elliptical or treadmill on a low intensity! Sigh, I feel my metabolism slowing down definitely :(

Going to eat yams, proactive bacteria yogurts, and just things that will hopefully get my body working at a healthy pace again :(

I’ll update soon! Pictures of my wrastlin’ a gator and lovin’ some dolphins soon :)

Cheers!

Rachel

OH GOD THE RED

IT BURRRRNSSS!!

Our family friend, an insanely amazing, kind, warm-hearted older Chinese lady, came to our house today to drop off food goodies. We’re talking sweet and sour fried fish, fried pork, korean-style steak, and ….wait for it……….CAKE.

I didn’t have… a LOT… but I’m estimating that intake to be about… 500 calories. =_______=.

The red on my myfitnesspal signifying that I went over my calorie intake limit hurts. Good thing I’m doing Cardio X for p90x tonight. /cries

Hey guys!

Sorry for the no-makeup-ness and cray-cray hair - just got out of the shower ahaha.

I’m really happy (again…and I really think I’m going to be happy for a while, as long as I maintain this routine). I’ve just passed my half-way point; on a journey of 14 pounds, I’m now on T-Minus 6 pounds!! Literally so ecstatic right now.

Apart from going through another 3 day diet round, I’ve just been maintaining, maintaining, maintaining!! This week is going to be a little tough, because I have TWO pot lucks back-to-back (on Tuesday and Wednesday), so I’m kind of relying on my p90x workouts to counteract those yummy foods :)

Next, next week, for March Break, my family is going to Orlando, Florida to the magical, food-filled world of Disney World! (and Harry Potter Theme Park HHOOOMG). I cannot wait! - but, I *can* wait for all the turkey legs and ice creams :( It’s kind of disappointing going to a theme park (especially DISNEY WORLD) and not having funnel cakes, cotton candy, candy apples, etc. Oh well, I guess I’m just going to have to control.

Thanks again to the few of you who are watching me! There are a few more, and for that, I am grateful :)

I will be updating again in a few days (with text, at least!).

Hwaiting! (lol, Korean) Leggo!

Cheers,

Rachel
