It was cold this morning but got warmer this afternoon. Got a Grit 19 Strength and Cardio workout done! I've done it before but I think doing enough LMOD workouts have made it just as little easier. I may still be doing modified jumps but I did more of them! Getting better slowly but surely! 👍🏼 #projecttub2tone #ProjectTub2Tone2017 #lesmillstribe #lesmillsgrit #latenightworkout #lesmillsondemand #slowlybutsurely

Woke up at 9 and camped on FB for almost an hour and then had to remind myself that I could have spent that time working out. So I turn on the computer and spent 15 min waiting for it to adjust and function properly. (I had too many tabs open - as usual) I finally decided to do a #LesMillsCombat #HIITshockplyo and was sweating bullets. I don't have the fan on when I'm exercising because I'm convinced that I'll "lose" more weight with me sweating a lot! I think it's all in my head but whatever gets me through it. Right?! Haha. I'm also dreading going back to work next week cuz I've been used to waking up later and working out much later in the day. I'm either going to have to wake up earlier (which I always have a hard time doing unless I have to meet up with someone) or I'm going to have to push myself to do it right after work when I get home when all I want to do is...nothing. Haha! I'm such a bum! #ProjectTub2Tone #🛀🏽📈💪🏼 #onedayatatime #slowlybutsurely #betterthannothing

Daughter Lego-ed while I did #LesMillsCombat #HIITPower workout again today. I did it yesterday but she said she wanted to workout with me but then 5 min into it, she was out. Lol. So I finished and got incredibly sweaty again. It's great to know I'm getting sweaty bc I'm exercising and not sitting around being hot. #ProjectTub2Tone #🛀🏽📈💪🏼 #slowlybutsurely #onedayatatime #betterthannothing #timeforbeach
You know it was a good workout when you can't finish all the sets or when you're sweating so much it's getting in your eyes and mouth. OR...maybe it was because I turned the ceiling fan off. Haha. Either way, the #LesMillsCombat #HIITPower #HIIT killed me. It's so great and so intense at the same time. Hopefully I burned off that Jack in the Box burger I ate last night. Probably not. It was A LOT of calories (and I'm not even counting the movie popcorn I also had last night.😆). I was at the beach for over 4 hours yesterday with family so I might have burned some calories there. Maybe. Haha. I'm just loving the summer right now so I can work out. I just hope I keep this up when work/school starts up again. #🛀🏽📈💪🏼 #ProjectTub2Tone #slowlybutsurely #onedayatatime #betterthannothing

Haven’t posted in awhile but I HAVE been working out. Last week I worked out THREE times! Whaaa?! Today I did a @lesmillstribe @lesmillsbodycombat #HIIT workout and I was dying! I could barely finish a set of burpees! My son kept telling me I wasn’t doing it right…uh…it’s cuz I’m not as fit and can’t do the double jump like @officialdancohen 😆 - so glad it’s summer break so I have the energy and time to not make excuses to not exercise. #lesmillscombat #ProjectTub2Tone #🛀🏽📈💪🏼 #daytimeworkout #onedayatatime #betterthannothing #slowlybutsurely #yuensummer16
Didn't get a chance to take a pic after my short workout this afternoon. I got dressed to go workout this morning and went to my in-laws house to go through some stuff they were cleaning out. I went through it, and ended up staying to help clean the house till 1:30pm. Went home to feed the kids. Actually, my son made the saimin for him and his sister while I worked out with #LesMillsCombat. It wasn't as good as I should have been but my legs/thighs are still sore from doing two #hiit workouts two days in a row. I'm not trying to brag, i have no room to brag. I'm just documenting my inconsistent journey to be a healthier me. Although my eating isn't helping me much. I'm working on it. I'm trying to do small portions and not going for seconds. I have a long way to go to be where I wish I could be but as long as I don't stop trying, that's all that really matters. #ProjectTub2Tone #🛀🏽📈💪🏼 #betterthannothing #onedayatatime #slowlybutsurely
I was feeling really depressed today. Some reasons being that I headed back to work today after a fun spring break sleeping in and staying up late and another being that I saw myself in a window and I was not happy with what I saw! Ugh. I know I'm more than what I look like but I don't like what I see. I also didn't feel good today after work and almost didn't work out like I was planning. I put it off, but then I decided to put on my big girl workout clothes and got day 6 & 7 of #bettyrocker #makefatcrychallenge But I then I decided I need to do more if I want to be more in shape so I took a break and got a #latenightworkout #LesMillsCombat in before getting ready for bed. #ProjectTub2Tone #🛀🏽📈💪🏼 #slowlybutsurely #betterthannothing #ilovemyhydroflask #waterwascoldallday #orange #hydroflask
Thank you @buzzfeedvideo for doing this video about Asian-American women and body insecurities. When I was a baby, my nickname was Garfield. I have lived in North America since I was 4 years old. My parents have told me that I don't look full Chinese. My Chinese aunties and uncles have told me (to my face and behind my back) that I should lose weight. I have ALWAYS been self conscious about my weight and how I looked. I was a HUGE dork with big ol' glasses. I have never looked like my Chinese counterparts who are stick thin, pale, and dainty. I have never been dainty, maybe pale, never been stick thin. I say it's because I have American food in me. I joke about it but I hate looking in the mirror and see what I see. It makes me all kinds of sad and depressed but then at the same time, I'm constantly (albeit inconsistently) trying to be healthier and lose the weight and build muscle and get toned. As I get older and older, it's getting harder and harder to get to the "ideal" that I have set for myself. I ultimately need to be at peace with who I am and what I look like. I need to STOP comparing myself to other people which is easier said than done but I need to CONSTANTLY remind myself. Every time I compare my body to another, I am slowly chipping away at my own self-esteem. I need to be better not to LOOK better but to better my health and well-being for MYSELF. (That was a lot of "betters" in one sentence 😁🤓) I'm working on loving myself. It's gonna take some time but as long as I don't give up, I think that's all that really counts. #onedayatatime #slowlybutsurely #ProjectTub2Tone #🛀🏽📈💪🏼 #asianamericanwomen #buzzfeedvideo #bodyissues - by the way, I totally did a #latenightworkout #LesMillsCombat and #bettyrocker #makefatcrychallenge
How does one get a full body selfie without revealing the messy bedroom? Please ignore the background and focus on my favorite workout shirt and shorts. Let's not focus on how my arms look really squashed and large. Ugh. I joined the #bettyrocker #30daychallenge and did the two 15 min workouts tonight cuz I totally forgot yesterday. I was thinking about doing another workout but then Raya asked me to cut an apple for her so I lost track and momentum. I'm not blaming her but just explaining how I got distracted! Lol! At least I got a workout in #betterthannothing #latenightworkout #ProjectTub2Tone #🛀🏽📈💪🏼 #sweatyselfie #onedayatatime #slowlybutsurely

Dear White Writers,
Yes We Need Diverse Books. But that doesn’t always mean that we want YOU to write them. No, it means we want you to support them. We want you to read them. We want you to promote them, talk about them, buy them, love them. We want you to recognize that these stories told by authors in their own voices has as much importance as all the white ones that are published year after year.
I’m going to keep saying this over and over again. Diversity is not a new hot trend for you all to jump on and write about because you think it will help you get published. That’s not what this is about. White writers can write about whatever they want, they have that luxury. Whether or not they do it well is of course subject to debate. White writers don’t have to worry about writing main characters that are white and being told “Oh we have a white story already so we have to pass.” There is no arbitrary quota of stories for you all. We get 1 maybe 2 books allocated to Asian stories - so when it is taken by a white author writing about Asian stories - guess what happens to the Asian writer trying to write their own stories. And while you are guessing, go and read this fabulous post by Claire Light.
In this increasingly important post by my favorite author, Jacqueline Woodson, she says, “As publishers (finally!) scurry to be a part of the move to represent the myriad cultures once absent from mainstream literature, it is not without some skepticism that I peruse the masses of books written about people of color by white people. As a black person, it is easy to tell who has and who has not been inside “my house.” Some say there is a move by people of color to keep whites from writing about us, but this isn’t true. This movement isn’t about white people, it’s about people of color. We want the chance to tell our own stories, to tell them honestly and openly. We don’t want publishers to say, “Well, we already published a book about that,” and then find that it was a book that did not speak the truth about us but rather told someone on the outside’s idea of who we are.”
I think every person of color will agree that we can tell who has “Not been inside our house” when they try to write our experiences. As the number of Asian culture, mythology, character, orientalist-themed books by non-Asian writers rises, I am more and more aghast at the lack of support for Asian authors. Just what about Asian culture makes it so appealing for cultural appropriation? Why must it continually be used to exoticize and other our people? Having just seen a review request for a book that looks like an exotic female Asian fetish fantasy wet dream, I’m feeling disturbed and anguished. Seeing starred reviews for a recent YA book with a Chinese character that is praised as feminist because she scars herself to avoid becoming a concubine is troubling because it is given solely through the white lens. A white perspective with no Asian nuances. And why is that the story that must be told?
Aren’t there enough stories from the white perspective already? Must you tell our stories through your lens too?
So here’s the truth that needs to be repeated again and again. Don’t write a POC’s story unless you need to tell it with such a burning desire that it will eat you alive and so you will come into our houses and walk in our shoes to get it right, and that way it isn’t written ONLY from a white lens. Don’t do it unless you are willing to invest in a whole lot of time and commitment and get into some heavy conversation about what it is like to live our lives, deal with racism and micro-aggressions and fear and hate. Don’t do it because you think it is a hot trend. Don’t do it because you think it will help you get published. Don’t do it because you just love Kpop and Kdramas and oh wouldn’t it be cool to bring it to an American audience? Don’t do it because your mama is 1/32nd Native American and somehow that gives you a pass to write about the culture (it doesn’t). Don’t do it because it is exotic, mystical, spiritual, etc. Don’t do it because “you believe in diversity and want to help the cause.” Don’t do it because you think you are helping us. Because you’re not. The truth is, you’re only doing it for yourself. Because you think it is going to help you get published.
So do us all a favor.
Don’t.
So I’ve been getting a lot of crap for this post all over the place, facebook, twitter, here on tumblr, emails, etc. Here’s my response:
Dear Furious and other defensive white writers, I worry about your reading comprehension. I wonder if all you are focusing on are the words “Dear White writers” “POC” “Don’t” and not actually reading what the post is saying. The thing is, we POC pretty much know that we CAN’T stop anyone from writing whatever they want. No really. We can’t. We don’t have a magical superpower that stops cultural appropriation from happening. So because we CAN’T stop it, we are asking that if you are going to write about our culture, then DO IT RIGHT!! Like I said here “Don’t write a POC’s story unless you need to tell it with such a burning desire that it will eat you alive and so you will come into our houses and walk in our shoes to get it right, and that way it isn’t written ONLY from a white lens. Don’t do it unless you are willing to invest in a whole lot of time and commitment and get into some heavy conversation about what it is like to live our lives, deal with racism and micro-aggressions and fear and hate.”
There are plenty of white authors who get it right - Libba Bray, Laurie Halse Anderson, Shannon Hale, Martha Brockenbrough, Miranda Paul, to name a few of my favorites. And I have blurbed 2 recent books I have loved by white writers, Ryan Graudin and Leza Lowitz, writing Asian themed stories. I blurbed them because I deeply appreciate the hard work and care it took them to get those stories right. So no, I clearly don’t have a problem when white writers get it right. But I DO have a problem when you write bad representation. Because bad representation hurts us in ways you clearly don’t understand, and so we ask you to come into our houses and walk in our shoes to get it right.
There’s a whole lot of angry people on twitter losing their collective minds about “How dare POC police what white people can write!” White people focus only on what they want (to write whatever they want without any repercussions) all the while completely ignoring what POC are asking for (that they care enough to get it right and to also support POC writers). But once again, here’s another shining example of how white privilege always makes it about white people and ignores everyone else.
ahhh thank you so much for this!!
Gosh. I’m more wrinkly than I thought. My hair was getting in my way of my #latenightworkout and I couldn’t find my headband that my BFF made for me so I ended up using these Velcro hair things I got a while ago. Also, my homemade workout tank isn’t working out as well as it used to. It gets in my face and it’s so annoying. 😁 I need a real workout tank that won’t get in my way. I tried doing an hour long #LesMillsCombat but my internet wasn’t working and wouldn’t load in the middle. I finished up with the workout with #lesmillspump #PumpAndBurn and now my left shoulder burns. I know this isn’t feasible but gosh dang it, I really wanna see results NOW! It can be so discouraging to see nothing has changed. I’m too scared to weigh myself cuz I know it’s not gonna be good. I can fool myself and say it’s muscle but pish posh, my clothes aren’t fitting the way it used to. #lesigh #ohwell #onedayatatime #betterthannothing #ProjectTub2Tone #🛀🏽📈💪🏼 #sweatyselfie #slowlybutsurely #sobstory
I hate taking selfies but here I go again with another one. Did my second workout of the week. Yesterday morning I actually got out of bed at 6am and went for a 3.4 mile run. (That’s how far it is from my house to the end of the bike path and back - I was going to make it 3.5 but I had to start getting ready for work and wake up the kids plus it was my first run in months and I figure I shouldn’t try to overdo it😜) tonight was a #latenightworkout #LesMillsCombat for 60 min! I didn’t know if I was going to last but somehow I kicked and punched my way through it. (Kicking and punching is very subjective, I’ve been told I need to work on my form and…not look so weak! Lol) #ProjectTub2Tone #slowlybutsurely #onedayatatime #betterthannothing #nowtoworkonmydiet #eatless #eatbetter #stillneedtograde #illdoittomorrow #timetoshower #timeforbed
I skipped yesterday's workout cuz Tuesday kicked my butt and my legs were so sore! Like it hurt to walk up and down stairs and level ground kind sore. I love it and hate it. Finally got my big butt up and did a #LesMillsCombat #latenightworkout #ProjectTub2Tone #🛁📈💪🏼 #onedayatatime #betterthannothing #slowlybutsurely #sweatyface #sweatissexy #sweatyselfie #timetoshower
It has been way too long since I worked out. Tonight’s #latenightworkout kicked my butt big time! Sitting here writing this and dripping. Man, here I was thinking I could do another workout after…how about baby steps Carol? You’re not as young and fit as you think (and wish) you are. #LesMillsCombat #HIITPower #ProjectTub2Tone #🛁📈💪🏼 #slowlybutsurely #onedayatatime #betterthannothing #fitnessjourney
