First semester = EPIC WIN!.

So this would be yesterday's post. Who would have thought a workout challenge would get me blogging daily huh?

Yesterday though, there was no Insanity workout since i was already Insane losing my mind about my final philosophy exam. I've been pretty great throught the whole course, I had a 9-8.5-10-8.5 grades on the papers and previous written exams. However, yesterday there was a mandatory "final exam" which was a speaking and determined the grade that would be definitive on my curricula. And I just came back to school this semester after a 6 years "Sabatical" a.k.a too busy working a.k.a drop-out. So, saying I was nervous was an understatement. I studied for 2 days in a row, read everything through and through because eventhough I suspected they would give me a good grade just based on how well i did on everything during the course.. I wasn't sure. And I freaked, and I'm a nerd and i'm insane in the brain :P

So, all in all, my mind for a second thought of not going to the exam because "I only know I know nothing" (Said Socrates) but i said to myself "NO. STOP SABOTAGING YOURSELF. GET YOUR ASS THERE". And I went, and I told my classmates I was insecure as all hell, and they laughed at me given i had the highest grades in the room. And I didn't want to go first or anything LOL.. So it was my turn, and the teacher goes "What the hell are you even doing here with your high grades" and I said "well it's a mandatory exam and i studied a lot" I attempted to do a good speaking though I mumbled like a dumbass but what i said was correct and so.. I GOT A 10!! That's the highest grade there is and the first 10 to go on record on my career (I don't have much of it done but still I think it's a huge achievement). I just couldn't believe it!! haha it was wonderful and I was so excited about it!! 

The exam was pretty late so I got home at dinner time and ended up skipping insanity and going to a pretty american pub in Buenos Aires to celebrate my freedom from school, my grades and well tiny little detail... 4th of july! LOL I'm not from U.S I don't know what the hell I get so excited about 4th of July. I just like people being patriotic, regardless of what country it is, I love it when we get patriotic aswell, it just doesn't happen often enough.. Plus hey! Cute boys with pretty accents, fried foods and beer. I'M SOLD. haha 

So that was my insane day without Insanity Workout. Getting back at it today though!! I'm a day behind and I don't know if just use their scheduled Rest day to catch up or just have 2 rest days this week. In anyway after my last insanity workout I was so sore I walked just like Robocop.. I spent like i dunno how many hours sitting studying and when I stood up to go to the kitchen I thought to myself "DAAAMN I'M ROBOCOP" and did the robot move jajajaja- I cracked myself up. I think i need a Robocop helmet now!

That's all for rightnow's rant :) The nerd says peace out.

Insanity day 3 - Yes I plan to do this everyday. Deal with it!

So here we are ufff... I just finished the 2nd workout and 3rd day on this crazy ride that's called insanity. I'm alive!!! I've created a sweat pool in my room, I almost break the curtain on my window doing the power jacks LOL My room is pretty small, I have to move a drawer, put aside the laundry bin and the computer chair to be able to have a square free to work out.. but, some how it's working. Hopefully by the end of this journey no furniture will be harmed in the process.

I'm thinking though this shit.. Is not only physically but mentally challenging.. I caught myself both yesterday and today thinking several times "you can do it, no you can't, you're out of your mind, omg everything hurts, wtf are you doing!!! ahhh keep going" that train of thought happens during that part of the workout where it's never ending cardio (well, seems never ending) then each time I HAVE to stop while they keep going I feel bad and something inside of me tells me "fuck it! Get back at it and try to do just one more rep" And.. That's how I'm currently getting through it, battling my own thoughts on what I can and can't do. Man I'm so gonna whine here.. sorry. 

What hurts from yesterday: 

1- Lovehandles: They were killing me yesterday during the day.. the pain has slowly decreased but I still "feel" the sides of my stomach

2- Calves: Between yesterday and today I feel they're on the verge of cramping. I can't stretch them enough, hopefully pain will decrease by tonight's dance class, else I'm screwed there.

3- Butt: Not like wow i can't sit but I can feel the muscles being a bit sore there.

What hurts from today:

1- Arms. More specifically TRICEPS. They're killing me. But considering we did all sort of push ups, i think it was expected.

2- Back: In general. Again, because of the push ups

3- Abs: They hurt when I cough LOL

4- Calves: They hate me rightnow

After workout "snack" BAM! - 4 whole wheat bread toasts with cream cheese and strawberry jelly & berries protein shake.

And.... that's what I'm eating, I'm not following the Insanity meal plan or calories recommended or whatever stuff like that because I'm also dancing and I love eating. So I still keep it around 2000 and figure something WILL change in my physique just because of the workouts. I do eat pretty healthy until it's dinner time. That's the only meal my roommates and I have together and they don't always want to go for the healthiest option, and that's fine, I think I rather eat whatever we eat and not bring up the subject of "healthy" or say the word "calorie" or anything like that so no one flips. LOL It could lead to one of them suggesting to do the "apple diet" and me suggesting to punch her in the face :P . Besides, I think it'll be good to prove them that you don't need to lose crazy amount of weight to look better.

Anyways, I have a shitload of studying to do.. I better get on it, exam is tomorrow so I'm sure I wont sleep tonight at all.

That monday that never arrived

I said "i'll be back on monday" and that just never happened, I got caught up between exams and life and such (there's not really anything else going on so the "such" is there just because). I aced both my exams and now i'm about to enter round two!! More motivated this time because i thought being it's been so long since i touched any text book that i wouldn't be so great (plus multitasking with work and the extra dancing and the attempts to eat healthy), turns out that muscle memory doesn't only apply to dance or bike riding (or sex) but it also goes for the brain muscles :) Giving me an 8 and a 9 on 1-10 scores :D . Pretty damn happy with myself.

After that was done, i got full mode on a Lyrical jazz dance convention which i believe happened to turn my life around. I wont go into much detail here cuz i don't really have much time and it would probably bore you anyway.. I'm just gonna say it was the most awesome thing i've done in years :)

So i'm feeling pretty renew and happy and full of energy (with exception of when i fall asleep on the bus or subway.. it's like a rocking chair i swear! I don't know how they do it)

I just wanted to stop by and drop a line since it's been almost a month... We're still doing the living re-decoration thing.. with exams and trying to be as cheap as possible it's taking a while but i think it'll be freaking neat when it's done! My roommate's parents gots us some pallets so we're gonna make up a couch out of that, maybe paint them or not, dunno yet, and put some big ass couchons and a colorful blanket covering them :) I think it'll be cozy and young :P like us jajaj I'm rambling again!

I haven't dropped any weight since around march and although it makes me want to punch the scale when i jump on it, I think i look god damn fine if you ask me LOL and by that i mean my body is more toned, i feel less "flabby" if that's a word and more in shape in general, which i notice also in my ballet/jazz classes. BUT, the scale hasn't moved and measure wise i'm also the same.. So.... I'm thinking all the scales and measuring tapes are broken. ..Or i'm starting to have a body dysphormia and thinking I look more in shape than i actually do.. LOL whatever, as long as i don't go back to having chips and coke 3 days a week i think i'll be fine..

And that's my thoughts for rightnow, wish i had that thingy Dumbledore had to store the thoughts!! It would be so useful!

I'll get on here later and make a proper post :P Hope you're all having a good day.

Open invitation

Have stuff to read? Either it's study or just simply pleasure, make me coffee, make me mate, bring cookies or maybe make me a pancake? (I have chocolate pancake mix already made in the fridge).. 

Here's where I've been, here's where I'll be at least till monday. Piled with markers, stuff to read and crazy ideas about communication, semantics, semiotic, meaning of stuff, signs and when stuff turns into signs and how to translate it all to dancing and musical movies. 

Interesting, and intense.. Ohhh coffee it's been such a long time since I needed you in this manner!

Me studying under the sun at my balcony 

On the left "Mate" a hot latin american beverage. Google it up if you never heard of it. On the right: Crackers  & Dulce de Leche :)

Oh!! Also if you have any good band of "to study" type of music to recommend.. Bring it on! :)
