281/365 - Allergies

This is Poki, my half Chihuahua half Papillion dog. Since we've been working out/hanging out so much these past few weeks, I think my poor dogs miss me. :) Poki was especially cute tonight so I gave him a big hug and had my face against his face. A few minutes after that I started breaking out in hives on my face! I think I'm allergic to Poki. :( It's weird though because this doesn't happen all the time and this may have been the worse it's ever been. But honestly, how can you resist that cute face and big ears?

280/365 - Ants in my Computer

Some crazy ants decided they wanted to chill out in my laptop keyboard today. So, when I wanted to log in my workout on Beachbody I had a big surprise when all these ants started climbing out! Good thing my fiance was home. He took the computer outside and air blasted those suckers out of there! And we also put out some ant killer for those lingering around. The one we use is called Terro. It works really good. The only bad part is you have to keep it away from kids and pets. But the good out weighs the bad.

279/365 - Manoa Gym

We headed over to Manoa tonight to do the Insanity workout with the rest of the Insane Asylum crew at the Manoa Gym. There must have been about 40 people there! It was great!
Afterwards, we saw that they had some fun outside exercise equipment (see picture). So we had fun playing around on that for a little while. We didn't stay too long though because it just finished raining so everything was slippery.

278/365 - Late Night Wal-Mart

The thing I love about Wal-Mart is that they are open 24 hours. I've been pretty busy recently with all the team workouts so I haven't really had a chance to go and pick up some necessities. So we went tonight at 10PM. That is just awesome. It must be junk if you don't live close by to a 24 hour place. That is something we will have to think about when we buy our first place. :)

277/365 - Sore Ankle

My ankle has been bothering me for the past few days now. It's kind of funny because it doesn't hurt that much when I'm exercising but once I stop that's when it starts bothering me. So I have it wrapped up as often as I can and I'm trying to rest it so that I won't make it worse. I don't want to have to stop exercising completely so I'm trying to take care of it.
We are into Week 2 of Insanity. :) Yay!

276/365 - A Cup of Tea

My Mom and Grandma and I went to A Cup of Tea in Kailua today for lunch. We are having my cousins bridal shower there in a couple of weeks so we wanted to go and test it out to see how it was. They have a bunch of different types of teas and we got the combo that comes with scones, sandwiches and dessert. It was pretty good. The place has a Victorian feel and there is a lot of girly pink things. Not really my cup of tea (hahaha) but it was nice.

275/365 - Clothes Shopping

We helped out at the KCC Farmers Market again today. Wasn't too bad. Then we went clothes shopping for some workout clothes and work clothes. We headed to Sport's Authority and got some shorts and a new bag to carry our gear. Mostly Under Armor stuff. :) Then we headed over to Old Navy to see what kind of stuff they had on sale. So we did pretty good and got all the stuff we needed.

274/365 - Coca Cola Glasses

When you buy a large combo meal at McDonald's you get a free Coca Cola Glass. :) I don't eat McDonald's (I'm still trying to diet) but others in my family do so we have a few of these nifty glasses. I really like them and they are free!
We are doing the KCC Farmers Market again tomorrow and going shopping for some workout clothes after. Then Insanity again tomorrow night. It should be a busy but very fun day!

273/365 - Asylum T-Shirt

We got our brand spankin' new Asylum t-shirts today! I'm so excited! Now we can wear it out places and promote it to people. Insanity workout tonight was pretty tough. It was supposed to be a recovery workout but it seemed like it was just as hard as the regular workouts! Lots of slow controlled movements, squats and lunges too. Then we did some ab workouts after. I can't wait till the 60 days are up and I look fabulous!

272/365 - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

We finally got to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince tonight and it was amazing! It was kind of long (my butt was getting sore) and they left out some points that I thought were important, but overall I give it two thumbs up. It made me very excited for the last book. I hear that it's going to be made in to two movies because it's so long. But it will be good to see how they wrap it up.

271/365 - I'm Back!

Feeling much better today and even caught up on my missed fit test from yesterday which was Day 1 of Insanity. I did the fit test as soon as I got home from work today and then we went to the Asylum to do our Day 2 workout. I'm still a little weak and my cough is bothering me, but I got through it. Tomorrow we are not going to workout because I have small group for church and we are finally going to see Harry Potter! Yay! A week late but still good. We are going to subsitute tomorrows workout and do it on Sunday instead. So no slacking!
I had a P90X Recovery Drink with my dinner tonight. It was yummy!

270/365 - New Blender

In preparation for our Insanity challenge, my fiance went out and bought a new blender. We had a Magic Bullet but it was kind of old so it wasn't blending very good. This new blender seems to be sort of like the Magic Bullet in that you blend things directly in the cup. That's a good thing because it will mean less dishes to wash.
I went back to work today and thankfully made it through the day but I was feeling sick and tired when I got home. I decided to take one more day off from exercising and start Insanity tomorrow instead. Hopefully this extra day of rest will help me get to 100% healthy even faster.

269/365 - Shokudo

My fiance is completely debt free so he took me and my family out to dinner. :) We originally planned on going to Cafe Imperial, but they are closed on Sunday so we went to Shokudo.
I ate the tempura bento which was delicious! It was the perfect amount of food because I'm only now starting to get my appetite back.
It's back to work tomorrow and I hope I can last the whole day.

268/365 - TV

I'm feeling a bit better today, but still sick. I haven't had enough concentration to read, so I've been watching a lot of tv. Today was mostly Food Network. It just so happened that Ace of Cakes was on when I needed to take a picture so that's what gets to be on my blog today.

267/365 - The Flu

I went from generic dayquil, to Tamiflu. So, it's official, I have the flu. My fever was still high this morning so I went to the doctor and he said that it's the flu. He took a nose culture (which was kinda uncomfortable) and gave me some antibiotics.
I'm already starting to feel a little better today. And hopefully it's not the swine flu. *cross my fingers!

266/365 - Sick

I started feeling sick yesterday morning and by the time I went to sleep last night I was miserable with a fever of 102! So today, I stayed home from work and was practically living on these drugs. If I'm even a little late taking the next pill I feel even worse for like an hour until everything kicks in.
I just have to get better before Monday because that's when we start Insanity!

265/365 - Insanity is Here!

Insanity came in the mail today!!! We bought a whole bunch of stuff (as you can see from the picture) and it all came in today. The second picture is the box that Insanity comes in. It's really motivational and makes me so excited to get started!
I think I'm coming down with a cold and we are going to watch Harry Potter tonight so that's why I'm blogging a little earlier today. I can't believe there are only 100 days left of Project 365. It went by kind of fast.

264/365 - P90X Protein Bar

Workout tonight was intense! We did One on One with Tony Horton first then Insanity right after that. It was a great workout and I can already tell that I'm going to feel it tomorrow.
The picture today is of a P90X protein bar. We got a Mocha one and a Berry one on Saturday at our team get together. My fiance ate his right away but I saved mine. The mocha tasted great and I'm excited to try this berry one.

263/365 - Shake for Dinner

My dinner tonight was a Chocolate Shakeology blended with a banana and some peanut butter. Mmm! It was delicious and I was full after I ate it! So my journey to start eating healthy again begins.
We are in between exercise phases right now because we just finished Power90 and we are waiting for Insanity to come in. I'm excited to start a new exercise program and ready to get going already! But I'm sure it will come soon enough.

261/365 - Storto's of Honolulu

We had a couple errands to run in town today, so we decided to take my Mom to eat some Storto's. We've only had the original Storto's in Haleiwa, so we were kind of excited to try out the one in Kaimuki to see if it would be the same. We were plesantly surprised to find that it was just about the same! Now we have a place we can go to in town to eat Storto's.

260/365 - Shakeology

My legs are killing me! The work out from yesterday really did the trick. Yesterday I also got to try the two flavors of Shakeology, Green Berry and Chocolate. Shakeology is a meal replacement shake that contains all of the vitamins and minerals that you need in a day. I'm going to try replacing one of my meals a day with this to try and lose some weight. I really liked the chocolate one so I picked up one from Dallas tonight. I could have ordered it myself, but I didn't want to wait for it to come in. I'm excited to get started on this. Hooray for Health!

259/365 - Puzzles

We have lots of puzzles in our house. For a while there, we were doing puzzles one after another. So we have a stack of like 8 puzzles sitting off to the side. No one bought anymore because I think everyone is all puzzled out.
Tried a new workout tonight. One on One with Tony Horton. It was an intense leg workout. I can already tell I'm going to be sore tomorrow.

258/365 - iPhone Handsfree Headset

We just recently found the headset that came with my iPhone so now I can use handsfree in the car. :) I don't really talk on the phone in the car, but now I know that if I want to I can. The only junk part is that the iPhone 3G doesn't have voice activated dialing (that feature is available on the new 3G-S) so I can't really call anyone from the car, but I can answer a call if I have my headphones on. But in reality, I don't really talk on the phone too much anyway. Still yet though, it's good to know that I can if I want to. :)

257/365 - Waipahu Public Library

Happy 789 day! Today we went to Waipahu Public Library. This was the only time we could go because they don't open on the weekends and only open late on Wednesdays. The first thing that I noticed that was kind of odd was that the name on the front was crooked. As you can see from my picture it's not centered but to the right. I thought maybe it was because that was the entrance, but when we walked in there is only one automatic door in and out. So that was weird. Apart from that the library was pretty nice. The aisles are a little close together though, so only one person can be in the aisle at a time.
Also good news, Insanity was released today!!! Yay! So we purchased our copy and a bunch more for some friends and we are ready to get fit!

256/365 - Sunburn blisters

We had a crazy intense workout tonight. We did Chalean Extreme: Burn Intervals and Insanity. The good part was that my sunburn has calmed down and it wasn't that sore today but it was getting itchy. So after all that sweating, I noticed my arm felt funny and when I looked at it I had blisters all over my arms where my sunburn was! Pretty gross. But I had to take a picture.

255/365 - Budget

I sat down and worked out a budget tonight. I didn't realize how much money I don't have until I actually took the time to write it out. I really need to start watching my spending. We will also need to start doing some weekend activities that don't cost any money. Like staying at home and watching movies. Hahaha. But really though, I am going to start trying to save more because I know the wedding will sneak up on me and then the honeymoon and then buying a house! Yikes! I need to get my butt back on track!

254/365 - Nonogram from Japan

Found my nonogram puzzle book that I got in Japan. This was my first introduction to nonograms. I actually bought the book not knowing anything about it and since the instructions were in Japanese I kind of had to teach myself. I was really frustrated at first but now I'm addicted! I'm hoping I can find more of these books somewhere because right now I've just been playing online.

253/365 - Independence Day

Happy Fourth of July! I spent the whole day resting from my sun burn from yesterday. I took a picture of my shoulder but the picture doesn't really do it justice. I am in soo much pain! At least it didn't blister. I didn't even get to exercise today because of my sun burn!
Tomorrow I'm going to get back on track with my diet and start to really take this exercise and diet thing seriously. I need to push myself to the next level and tomorrow seems like a good as day as any to start.

252/365 - Haleiwa Beach

We spent a part of the day at Haleiwa Beach. Well first, we stopped at Giovanni's to eat some shrimp, then went to the beach. The picture for today is my sandy foot in the ocean. We were only there for a few hours but I got totally burnt! After the beach we stopped at Storto's to pick up lunch. It's been such a long time since we ate there and it was delicious!
Tonight we did P90X+ Interval work outs with the guys. It wasn't as difficult as Insanity but it was still hard. A great work out. Tomorrow is the Fourth of July!

251/365 - Yogurt, Sushi, Hot Dogs

We went to Waikele today because my fiance needed to pick up some new work pants. Since we were there, we stopped by Alysandra's Lumpia kiosk for a snack. On the way there, we saw this other kiosk called Sakura Sushi which I guess specializes in yogurt, sushi and hot dogs. What an interesting combination! We didn't end up eating there, but I had to take a picture. I wonder what they were thinking. It was probably something like...you know what would be really cool? To make a snack bar with all of my favorite foods: yogurt, sushi and hot dogs! Yay!

250/365 - Busted Mirror

This is what happens when you are careless and not paying attention. I accidentally hit a pole this morning with the side of my car. Luckily the worse damage was my broken side mirror. So, I've learned my lesson on making sure I'm more careful when driving.
We were at Pearlridge Mall tonight and we went to a new store that opened called Book Off. They sell used books and have a whole section of $1 books! I'm not supposed to be buying books but I couldn't resist. So I ended up getting 4 books and a cook book.
