Insanity day 3

Insanity day three - Cardio Resistance & Power. I loved this intense workout. At some point I felt like I could not do it, but I made it, I did cheat a lil by taking extra water breaks =))))) I woke up sore today, surprise. I feel my abs every time I breathe in. I love the feeling.

Today is a cardio recovery day, it should be slower, I am very excited to stretch and relax tonight. 

AND it is Friday! Happy Friday, everyone ;)))))))))

Insanity ...

So, this post is a little different from my usual posts, but I hope that blogging about my progress will help me stay motivated and not to give up. I started a 60 day Insanity workout program on Tuesday, and in short it is kicking my butt :)

When I decided to start this workout, I knew it was tough, but I did not realize how tough it was going to be. On Tuesday I did the fit test that was tough, but it was only about 30 min workout with frequent breaks. I did better than I thought I was going to do and almost did not sweat (I usually never sweat, my body just doesn't). Yesterday was a Plyometric Cardio Circuit day. This workout made me sweat big time, the sweat was dripping off me. That had NEVER happened to me before. And some of you might think: "Of course not you probably never work out". But it is not the case I do work out. I usually try to work out about five times a week, but this cardio work out did indeed kick my butt. I workout at night, so, afterwards all I could do was taking a shower, drinking a protein shake, and going to bed. I had never fallen asleep that fast. I was gone as soon as I put my head on the pillow, and this is very unusual, I usually stay up for a long time before I fall asleep. I kinda like it. I slept like a baby for good nine hours :) When I woke up this morning, I could feel every muscle there is in my body. I like the feeling, I am not going to lie.

Oh, also I got on a nutrition plan. I have to eat 5 times a day not more than 1900 calories. It is tough to eat that much cause I am never hungry, haha. But at the same time it pays off at night when I workout. I do get enough energy, so, it is kinda nice. I like the fact that it is a healthier eating. I am a healthy eating habits fan.

So, yeah, this is what I do now. I workout, study, and work. And to be honest, I enjoy it lots :) I look forward to my workout tonight. I will keep you all updated! Thanks for all your support.

Much love <3

Can't fall asleep

It is 3:20 a.m. and I am wide awake? Why? I would love to know the answer to this question, haha. Lots of things have been rushing through my mind, all of those thoughts are really random and different. It reminds me of Mark Gungor when he talks about women brain and men brain. "Women's brains are very very different from men's brains. Women's brains are made of a big ball of wire, and everything is connected  to EVERYTHING" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BxckAMaTDc this is exactly how I feel :)

Anyway, I am awake thinking about EVERYTHING, lol. I miss being in a big city, I miss my culture where people value relationships ... it has been a HUGE adjustment to move to Provo, Utah. It is considered to be a bigger town, but if you ask me ... I'll just say that it is really really small, haha. However, I did get used to it, and now it does not seem that small. I love being in school, I have learned lots of new things. I met lots of great people and a few who are not so great. I have learned plenty of life lessons. I got disappointed, heartbroken,etc., but I remained the same Kristina. I am a hopeless romantic that wears my heart on a sleeve. Some of my friends (including my sister) have been trying to teach me to be tough and not let others walk over me. And they have the point. BUT if you ask me, I'd rather be a pushover than a B word. However, I do not think I am a pushover, I just try to be nice to everyone, but sometimes I am not.

I am still convinced that I have the best dad in the world, and I absolutely adore my younger sister. I got disappointed with friends, but I still have the best ones. I got disappointed with myself (many times), but I still try to be the best I can and not get too down on myself. I have fell on my face, but managed to get up and walk again. A lot of times I look back at my choices and I squint and say: "Can we pretend it has never happened? Can someone erase it for me, and make everyone forget about it?" I bet everyone has those moments.

I have also been thinking about relationships... do they really have to be that complicated? I mean even with friends ... there is always someone who gets jealous, says things, and causes drama ... why? And then people get offended, and hurt ... why again? With guys ... well, it gets even more complicated ... you gotta play THE game. If you are a girl, you absolutely cannot show much of an interest because if you do, you are doomed. You will be considered desperate and pathetic.If you play hard to get, you will probably get some conceited jerk pursue you cause those like to have things that they cannot have. A good regular guy thinks that you are too much to handle, nerds are too busy with StarCraft and other video games ... so, you are stuck with jerks and players ... why can't things be easy as they used to be in childhood? Remember when you got out to the playground and met a ton of new kids? Remember how in a blink of an eye absolute strangers became your friends? It was SO natural and easy ... why can't we just say: "Hey, I like you!" instead of playing all those games?

Another subject that was, apparently, connected to the one above is chills and tingly feelings in romantic relationships. I feel like the whole Hollywood Fairy Tale idea kinda ruined it for everyone. It seems like people in our days are looking for this constant excitement and when it is not there ... they leave. I have been around for a while and I can tell you for darn sure that chills / tingly feelings come and go. I mean it is nice to be head over heals for someone, but is it necessary? Or can you be head over heals for a long time? Or for how long should you be twitterpatted before you take your relationship seriously? A few of my friends have been talking about it a lot recently. If you ask me, I'd rather have a solid, firm, and reliable partnership kinda thing in my relationship than the chills...

Ooops, it is already 4:16 ... I have to be at work in less than 5 hours ... wish me luck waking up. Tomorrow is going to be A LONG day :)

Sorry if my ramblings do not make sense. I am just thinking out-loud :)

Love ya all <3
