Honey On My Lips: Archive

Hello, I'm alive! :)

How are you all doing? I’m still struggling with the whole living healthfully thing. It’s difficult to maintain a regular exercise routing and stay away from junk food (I’m still keeping my “cheat weekends”), but I think at least my skin’s gotten better. Pimples cleared up when I started using pure VCO + oatmeal soap for my face. :) Also trying to sleep...

Just finished Peak 8 exercise (jump rope)!

It’s really difficult to eat healthy in this house! I try to compromise by cheating on weekends, and trying my best to stick to seafood-malunggay soup on weekdays.

I am pleased to present to you the testimony of my cousin, Jackie Hontiveros Lozano, whose dengue was cured by the common “tawa-tawa” local weed.

Just finished Peak 8 exercise (belly dancing)!

I’ve been feeling guilty lately about how much I’ve been eating (and how badly! junk food galore!) so I really set aside some time tonight to do my peak 8 exercise. It’s so incredibly hard to eat healthy! Gosh. How to say no to family dinners out? This long weekend has been wrought with temptation. Anyway, I also still need to buy a new jump rope. Must do that soon. :)

Zits!

My punishment for eating chocolates and drinking milk :( Anyway, I’ve been eating pretty badly lately. I know because I got menstrual cramps again— the first time in a long time that I needed to take a painkiller. I don’t get menstrual cramps when I eat healthy (more veggies, less processed foods, less dairy sugar carbs) I have to be stricter about my diet. Malunggay menu...

Today will be grain-free Tuesday

Yoda said: “Do or do not. There is no try.” Maybe tomorrow or Thursday I can eat grains again. I can still eat: meat fish veggies fruits nuts (See my post regarding the unhealthiness of grain.) My post-workout breakfast consisted of “sinigang” malunggay soup, avocado, and papaya. (Broke the no-fruits-2-hrs-after-workout rule!)

Just finished peak 8 jump rope exercise!

I’m doing 75-85 jumps for each 30-second peak, and about a third of that for each 90-second recovery period. When I started out I was doing 50-60 jumps per 30-second peak ^_^

@thestephmeister So, if you wanna exhaust yourself, try jumping rope to Red Hot Chili Peppers music. This was after my Peak 8 workout today. You can see what that looks like on my Peak 8 exercise videoblog from July 9 2011.

Just finished releasing dopamine in my brain

… with Peak 8 exercise today, using jump rope! Exercising makes your brain release dopamine, the same pleasure neurochemical involved in the “buzz” you get from drinking. Except, exercise is much better you than a six-pack. :D You can see what my regular workout looks like on my Peak 8 exercise videoblog from July 9 2011:

Jumping rope to 99 Luftballons today :D This is not the Peak 8 workout, which I’m only supposed to do thrice a week at most. Speeding up while maintaining form and rhythm at the same time is hard! Oh BTW there’s my new jump rope! It’s pink. I hope it lasts longer than the other ones.

Practicing jump rope in time with music! Because it’s fun and I want to teach myself rhythm :D This is extra practice aside from the Peak 8 workout. It’s also good so I can watch myself and see where I need to improve my form (right now it looks like I have to move more with my wrists and less with my elbows).
