Summer Fitness Challenge!

Day fourteen: Do you ever allow yourself a “rest day” from exercise or a “cheat day” from your diet? Mikee: -sigh- My whole week has been a cheat since I went on vacation. Personally, I don't like cheat or rest days since I tend to believe it delays progress. But everyone needs a treat once in awhile. Irene: I rest whenever I want to o-o

Mikee: Always. Friends and family usually eat whatever they want to and think of it as "living in the moment" (?) lol. It is tempting, but my self-control usually pulls through :P. Irene: Rarely. I usually get the cravings myself LOL. i dont know how to explain it.

Day twelve: What are your friend’s eating habits like? Irene: Some eat healthy, some don’t. I have a friend who’s waaaay too obsessed with his diet haha. Then there’s my boyfriend who eats almost everything but works out excessively afterwards.  Mikee: Most of my friends eat whatever they want to, but they usually don't go too overboard on the junk food. They have their limits.

Mikee: My culture/race loves full fat food- meat, fried, etc. They love rice and do not try to cut any calories. They love feast when the whole family is around, as if there is no tomorrow. So when I decided to diet, and now go vegetarian for a bit, I had a separate meal for myself while everyone else ate the same dishes.

Day ten: Do you eat breakfast? What do you usually have? Irene: My healthy options (haha) for breakfast is this carb loaded oatmeal to get me started throughout the day. It includes 1/3 cup of oatmeal, an egg, and peanut butter. Other choices are scrambled eggs with low-fat mozzarella cheese and veggies or a frozen food. Mikee: I try to eat breakfast. I used to skip it, but now I just wake up too late to consider it breakfast haha. Usually I have steel cut oats and half an apple. This past week I've been eating kashi whear cereal with soymilk- yum :)

Mikee: I LOVE ICE CREAM/GELATO/frozen desserts. I love desserts in general hehe- a sweet tooth runs in my family :3. I love noodles too, just like Irene hehe.

Weekly challenge: Get organised! This week try to plan tomorrow’s meal the night before. Day eight: Name 5 things you like about your body (you can do it) and the one body part you’d like to change the most. Irene: I like my legs, eyes, hair. Those are the physical aspects I like about myself. I like that I’m pretty devoted (although some people deem me negative about it) and that I can usually see from both points of views. Mikee: I like my curly hair, quick to tone legs, eyes for 20/20 vision, fluid arms lol, and clear skin (?). There's so much I would like to change about my body, but the #1 part would probably be my stomach.

Irene: They don't care

Irene: I'm been overweight for most of my childhood. Only until the last 2 years was my weight in the "healthy range". Mikee: Possibly both? I've been overweight from childhood until freshman year. Almost reached underweight status in the beginning of sophomore year.

Irene: Definitely for cross country, haha. What else.. that's about it.  Mikee: Well it would be nice to look good for all of the events in senior year since those pictures last forvever.
