Kawaii Fitness going on HIATUS

Yes you heard that right. Kawaii Fitness will be going under a temporary HIATUS. This will probably last for about 3-5 months depending on how things go with life. I know its really sad and disappointing most specially to my new readers and followers here in Kawaii Fitness.

I promise you guys that I will make it up to ya’ll BIG TIME! It’s just that a lot of thing came up most specially with university and I am unable to manage this site as much as I want it to without compromising everything else that is equally important. 😦

But with that said, I will be dropping in from time to time to post new recipes and perhaps printables and motivational quotes for ya’ll.

Anyway I hope to see you guys around still.

Thank you so much for being so patient with this.

Day 26 |Im a Thinker at the Gym

Kawaii Fitness Photo of the day:

 

Journal:

This is a late post. I was supposed to write this yesterday but I wasn’t feeling too good. So anyway here goes. After a week or so of not being able to go to the gym to work out. I’m finally back and I went ahead and started on JAMES GRAGE REWIRED workout program.

The Rewired Trainer is designed to help you discover your fitness personality, overcome common hurdles, and get fit for life. Reset, rebuild, and rewire.

It is build on the idea that fitness starts on the inside — that you have to know yourself before you can permanently transform  

So I took the evaluation test and it  turns out that I am a THINKER kind of person in the gym. As a Thinker, I face specific challenges that may cause me to lose track of my fitness goals like over analyzing. Often getting caught up in the details, I over-plan, overthink, and wind up more concerned about the hows and the whys of my  program than actually doing it. We call this paralysis by over-analysis. There are also other traits like, inflexible perfectionism, turning reasons into logical excuses, and jumping from one program to the other (which is what Im doing right now), 

Here is the link to the overview of my Fitness personality http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/james-grage-rewired-9-week-fitness-trainer-thinker-overview.html

It is really interesting that this person takes your “personality” into consideration. 

So its is a 9 week program thing. AS usual I wont be able to follow the supplementation of this program because most of the stuff cannot be found here from where I live plus they are really expensive and I can’t really afford them right now. 

Anyway I’ll fill you guys in as my program progresses. 

How about you? What is your Fitness Personality like? Click here to find out!

Today i want to share with you how I do my cheat meals. Yes MEAL not DAY. I don’t give myself a cheat day, but one cheat meal. One whole meal wherein I can just gorge on whatever the freak I want and enjoy without feeling guilty. (its easier to feel guilty if you give yourself a cheat day)

Some people think that just because Im trying to lose weight and am on a “diet” means I have to completely deprive myself. Well partly is true. You do deprive yourself, deprive yourself of processed food and junk and unhealthy stuff. Just like the quote above says, “Processed food….. extends the waistline as well.” 

So yes, I deprive myself and control myself from eating JUNK FOOD and CANNED FOODS and the likes. Also right now, I know some of you who follow me on IG or are my friends on Facebook/twitter/etc… I am cutting out all my carbs (as much as possible) and eat clean and lean and mean.

Going back to topic. So, because I have to be very strict with what I eat, I always go ALL OUT with my ONCE A WEEK cheat MEAL. And last week’s cheat meal looked a little bit something like this:

I gorged on Sizzling squid, Fish head soup, blue marlin Steak, Stuffed crab and KARE KARE!!!

As you know these are all Filipino dishes and Kare Kare is a TO DIE FOR dish! But it can also kill you since its all basically fat on fat on fat. Its pig feet (and other fatty parts) in thick peanut sauce. Oh dear lord it was so AMAZING! Best CHEAT MEAL EVER! And to top it off I didn’t gorge on unhealthy junk like burgers or pizzas, these are actual HOME COOKED TRADITIONS-ish Filipino food!!

So there I just wanted to share that with you guys. 🙂 

How about you guys, Do you give yourself a cheat meal or a cheat day?
Which would you rather prefer?
If you were given one last meal, what would you choose to eat?
Let me know in the comment section below okay?

Day 16 |Lost 6.5% Body Fat

Motivation of the day:

 

 

Journal:

I know it has been a week since my last update. going to the gym and running my online business, Khrafteesi,  has been taking up a lot of my time from blogging.So today I will be giving you guys an Update of my Body stats.

If you go to the About section and under that click on the STATS AND GOALS link you will see there my previous stats. I finally got reevaluated 2 -3 days ago and I am so excited to share it with you guys!! So without further ado here are my current stats!

STATS:
Dec. 05, 2013 -> May 05, 2014

Weight:                         60.2kg -> 62.1kg
Skeletal Muscle Mass: 21.1kg -> 24.1kg
Body Fat Mass:            21.4kg -> 18.kg
Total Body Water:       28.4kg -> 32.3kg
Fat Free Mass:             38.8kg -> 44.1kg
Protein:                        7.6kg -> 8.6kg
Mineral:                        2.75kg -> 3.15kg

BMI:                               26.1 -> 24.3
Body Fat Percentage:  35.5 -> 29.0 
Waist-Hip Ratio :          0.90 -> 0.87
BMR:                             1209 -> 1322

 As you can see here, my weight actually went up. by 2kg but my skeletal muscle mass went up as well while my body fats went down! Right now I base my progress with Body fat percentage. From being 35.5% body fat, I am no 29% body fat!!! I am just so happy that something has changed with my body. Seeing this progress makes me feel even more determined to work harder. My goal is to hit 18% body fat before October comes around or before my 100 days are up. So that means more lean and clean meals for me.

Day 7 |Oh My Muay Thai

Motivation of the day:

 

 

Journal:

There isn’t much I can update you guys on today except that I can start boxing EVERYDAY now! Our Gym just opened its dedicated boxing area with a boxing ring and I am just so excited to try it out tomorrow! 

So today was just cardio and for that I just went to my Muay Thai class. For some reason I can do offense just okay but I cannot defend to save my life. Its like I am so focused on keeping my balance, hitting the target and hitting with power but when the coach throws kicks or punches at me I just fail to block and its like I suddenly snap out of concentration and get epicly lost. 

Are any of your guys doing Muay Thai? Am I the only one being like this?
