Happy Thursday! 😀
I hope you all enjoyed my WIAW post yesterday. I love reading everyone’s and discovering new blogs!
This is totally random but I painted my nails yesterday and I am in love with the color.
I have to be in the mood to wear red nail polish. I don’t know why but I got the craving to slap some on my nails so that I did 😉
I also actually got ready for school, instead of my usual comfy gym clothes. I swear I live in them.
It was nice to actually look like a girl for once, I really like getting dressed up but I am usually just way too lazy.
Jeans + the little over half sleeve sweater thing made me sweat like crazy in the FL heat, but it was worth it:D
Please don’t mind the stain on my boob. I’m pretty sure it was water, I’m just a slob –___-
The hair stayed up because there’s no point in frying it with the straightener for it to become an afro in .23 seconds.

Here is my breakfast from yesterday, since I didn’t post last night!
This looked pretty and I really wanted to put it on the blog. Although, you guys have probably seen cereal more times than you can count on your fingers. I’m getting MUCH better with my picture taking skills and I get excited when a picture comes out good!! 😀 Noob much?!
Workout
Yesterday was my strength training day plus the little bit of cardio I always do. I am ALWAYS looking for new strength training routines. What better way to find new and amazing ones than from BLOGS?!
I’m always looking out for ones that catch my eye and turns out Julie posted one here just a couple days ago that I wanted to try out.
I modified the treadmill routine though and it looked like this:
First of all, I walked the first two minutes and then accidently pulled the emergency plug. I do this ALL the time. So annoying!!! Not a big deal, it was only two minutes so I started over from the beginning.

I loved this! I felt really good today and strong. When I got to the gym (I went to my mini gym) both of the treadmills were taken so I actually did this run in between my strength training.
I completed Julie’s strength workout that complemented this run and added in a 50 squats and 50 plié squats right before the pushups.
I really felt the burn and I felt strong with my strength too!!

I had to meet my mom at an apartment complex so we could look around. Our lease is up the end of October and we’re not sure if we want to stay here or move. Where we live now is a big expensive and it would be nice to get a cheaper price. On the other hand, we really love our unit and it feels home-y to us. So looking around will help us decide!
After going on the tour, my mom wanted Chinese food. I don’t eat it that often because I like eating home better and Chinese food usually has a lot of sodium but once in a while it’s a treat!
We ordered wonton soup to start, which I forgot to take a picture of.
Then we ordered chicken, steamed veggies, brown rice, and some sauce on the side.
It was actually super healthy and delicious 🙂
Things I knew when ordering at a Chinese restaurant:
- Look for grilled or sautéed, not fried.
- Steamed veggies, no oil.
- Brown rice instead of white or fried.
- Appetizers are usually fried so I skip (eggrolls for example).
- Sauce on the side since they usually drown the food in it.
- Lighter soups like wonton instead of the heavier ones.
- Anything free usually isn’t too healthy but a small portion definitely won’t hurt!
Those are my main guidelines I follow! At any restaurant I do this too.
Now I’m off to school, then it’s weekend time baby!
Do you have guidelines to follow while eating out?
If you like nail polish, what’s your favorite color to wear?
Do you usually dress up or stay comfy?
