So like. It’s been 6 years since my last post. Obviously a lot has changed since then. First off, I don’t even understand.. my past fitness goals Lol I think I just really wanted a 6 pack but holy shit I was skinny. I was so concerned with being really skinny back then. It surprises me that I would talk a lot about having “fat” when there was nothing there. Lord Jesus. Anyway. My fitness goals have changed for sure. I started powerlifting at the beginning of this year and have really tried to be consistent with it. I definitely gained muscle and some fat. I still get self conscious about gaining weight in my face but I’m working on not caring about that. I’ve definitely gotten stronger and my new fitness goals are to get jacked and strong. I want to deadlift at least 200+ lbs. so far I am only at 185lbs. lol “only.” so I’m almost there. Powerlifting has really helped my self esteem and im definitely a lot more confident than I was when I first blogged here. I think I’m gonna make use of this blog again for my personal progress. I didn’t take many progress photos starting off powerlifting so I think I’ll start.

This is a week and a half after I started getting back into the routine again. We finally moved into our house so now I'm trying to start again. Til I get a job anyways. Hopefully when I get a job, I'll still be able to workout 😩

I know it's been awhile since I've been active on here. It's only because I haven't been active in general. These past few weeks, I was home in the Bay Area with my husband and we were non stop going out every single day. We were lucky to get any sleep at all. Sad to say, it had me stress eating and stress drinking. I didn't gain 100 pounds or anything but I did feel like a gross blob of just being making unhealthy eating decisions and just basically being inactive. We finally made it to Hawaii and I'm still adapting to the environment. It's only been about 3-4 days since we got here. Within those days, I've just been trying to recharge physically and mentally. Today I decided I want to try and at least take a nice jog around the nearby track. Part of me really doesn't want to but another part is pushing me to be active again. Oh and we are also staying in a lodge right now so it's hard to eat healthy since we have no stove. I've been living off microwaveable "healthy" dinners. Which if you didn't know, any frozen meal isn't super healthy no matter how "lean" it seems. You're better off cooking your own food from natural veggies and meats. Anyway, I'm gonna try and take a nice jog and maybe even hit up the gym. We'll see how I feel afterwards.

Day 36. Couldn't run today because of rain so just kicked it at home and did upper body only.

Day 35. My progress keeps plateauing because of all this crap happening with holidays and moving 😑 😑 The bright side is I'm at least trying to stay in shape. Despite all the distractions and getting off track a few times. I'm still gonna try my best to put in work so it's not so hard to get back in it each time. Kinda rushed again cause I got hella cleaning to do.

Day 35. Tried to make it quick cause I woke up late 😑 I've been having a hard time sleeping on the floor. So yeah, side note to people starting out with doing workout routines, good nights rest is very important!! I worked out upper body today. And I'm trying my best to eat as healthy as possible but we don't have much healthy stuff to work with except for eggs. Lol

[jendoesfitness]

Day 34. We officially moved all our stuff out yesterday thanks to the movers we hired. I wasn't really able to work out yesterday and all this anxiety and stress from moving got to me. So I was eating pretty bad this whole weekend til yesterday. Gonna try to get back on track as much as possible despite me getting off track a lot. Today was leg day if you didn't notice 😬🍑hehehe

[jendoesfitness]

Day 33. Okay this is my post workout pic. I shed some of the alcohol and junk food. Worked on core and upper body. Really starting to see that progress 💪🏽🤗

[jendoesfitness]

This is before my workout. Post workout douche photo haha nah but seriously this makes me happy. I thought slacking off was gonna fuck me up but after making up for the slack, I started making progress again 😸😸anyway gonna go slay myself in running 😩

edit: I mean pre workout douche photo lmao

Day 32. Keeping updates is hard. Been trying to prepare for the move and what not. I'm also trying to push myself to not half ass things cause being in the bay seems to have that lazy effect on me 😑 today was leg day and tried to make my cardio a lot longer than usual to get me sweatin' 💦

[jendoesfitness]

Day 30. I hella slacked off when I was at home in the bay 😩being at home can be pretty overwhelming. And I tried really hard not to eat too much junk food but I caved in a lot haha all good though. I'm gonna try and get back into it the next couple of days. I'm gonna be moving to Hawaii next month so I don't have much time to work out around here 😭

[jendoesfitness]

Whoever's following me, thanks! Anyway. It's the worst time to come here during the winter at my parents place. It's always stocked with unhealthy but good food and all I wanna do is sleep. My cheat days have been getting out of hand 😩so hopefully I can work it out this week when I stay at my in laws place. I've been too ashamed about it which is why I haven't posted. I'll only post if there is progress.

Just got to the Bay two days ago, which is why I skipped day 29. I still worked out but didn't document it yesterday. Anyway, here's today. I'm surrounded by delicious, unhealthy Filipino food and have been trying not to over indulge. My brothers also like eating junk food. It's been hard and it's only been 3 days but I've been doing good with eating somewhat healthy. And trying my best to stay consistent even though it's the holidays and I'm home.

[jendoesfitness]

I just want both junk food and a six pack of abs... pls.

[jendoesfitness]

Day 28: just power walked because my leg is acting up again 😩Worked on core and lower body.

[jendoesfitness]

Damn, well this happened. Left: Week 2; Right: Week 5(today.) And I was getting all discouraged of myself thinking I wasn't making progress. I need to start putting more faith in myself. 💪🏽 Anyway, gonna be going home to The Bay Area for my bday/Thanksgiving. I'm definitely not going to stop when I'm home.
