Hold the phone down lower and angle it upwards, that's what I usually do.

Haven't had internet for a few days so haven't been able to get on. Finally got dial up working on my computer and my dad gets back later today and will re hook up the wifi. Training has been good. had a great leg day the other day and made me SO sore. . diet and working out have been going pretty well and feeling pretty happy with how things are going

Nice to hear things are going well, leg DOMS is good (but bad) haha. Wow, you don't hear of anyone using dial-up anymore nowadays ?!

Hope you are having a great week, much planned for the weekend?

Ya it was awful the desk where the cord to connect dial up to my computer wasn't very close to the nearest power bar that my laptop can plug onto so i had to put it on my lap and sit in a chair 2 feet from the desk to reach both things. fun fun. My weekend will mostly consist of teaching english andd working on the school i wasnt able to do these past few days without internet. Big plans next week though as i will be going with my boyfriend to pick out an engagement ring because my parents have agreed to sign the papers this summer allowing me to get married at 17 when we go back to America for a visit.

I am also feeling pretty happy with things. i think the improvements in my diet have been working, i think my stomach does look flatter. Especially when i wear tighter shirts i notice my stomach doesn't really come out like it used to. This is really a happy feeling for me because from the very beginning my main desire was to flatten my stomach and now im finally on the right track

I had no idea about the marriage thing, so you are 16 now?

Congrats, wishing you all the best !! I got married fairly late I suppose, it's our 9 year wedding anniversary in a few days time.

i just turned 17 =) have been in the relationship for 5 years in April, i still sometimes cant believe my parents agreed but if we had to wait until next year when i was 18 it would have been a lot of extra hassle and we are going to America this summer anyways so it just worked out better this way. Im excited and anxious. a lot of changes coming up!
Taking off day today although my yoga mat is calling my name so i might have to do some of that at some point. Diet has been going fairly well. Breakfast is either 1/2 cup of oatmeal plus unsweetened soy milk with cinnamon or a smoothie with a scoop of protein powder, banana, spinach, and soymilk. (depending on how hungry i am when i wake up), lunch is either a salad with spinach, tofu, mushrooms, apple, cranberries, quinoa, carrots, and almonds or a vegetable stir fry. i have been snacking less but when i do it is usually some nuts or dates, fruit, sweet potato, or crackers with pb. dinner is always different but is always healthy and moderate to low in carbs. i have a protein shake before and after my work outs and after dinner i enjoy some crackers with pb while playing x box before bed hehe. i definetely eat less carbs then before and the foods i enjoy eating have changed. i often crave salads now. I also have been working on not eating too close to bed time which has been going well except i wake up hungrier than before.

Got a decent pic of abs other day. My goal body is feeling more and more in reach .

Good progress, keep it up!

Everything else i have never really tried to go as heavy as possible for one rep so i don't know what my heaviest is x)

Haven't been on here for a while but everything has been going well. I have changed my work out a bit to combine 2 or more exercises in a super set and I try to do 20 reps of each thing. I have also recently gotten a DDR mat for my xbox and have been playing that every day for cardio. I have noticed that I have held a lot less water than normal because of how much I sweat when playing so I am def. going to continue especially because it is so fun x). I would like to lose some more fat this month because May 6th I leave for America and June 1st I get married and then soon after will come back to China and not only would I like to look as good as possible when I go back to visit all my relatives but I will also most likely not have access to a gym for the month and a half that I am there so I want to do as much as I can before going.

Been quite a while since i have been on. Been a busy month . Finished highschool, and now currently in America and getting married in 3 weeks and then flying back to China to get a new apartment and puppy. Very excited for all the changes. My mom won't let me take my current baby/dog because she said she will be too sad without her but luckily she will be near by to visit . Not a lot of workout options this month as i will be staying at my grandparent's homes for the month sans gym options; however, been trying to keep up stretching and some body weight exercises so i don't lose too much. Thankfully just a month. When i get back i am looking forward to having more control over my diet and being able to control what food i have around the house. My fiance is not vegan so any junk food that may be around i wont eat anyways. Speaking of junk food i had my first taste of so delicious coconut milk chocolate icecream and it was AWESOME!!!! . Definetely going to make some coconut milk icecream when i go home hehe. I am using this time to plan out a good diet plan as well as my new work out to get any lost strength and muscle back. Big goal is to work on trimming down and toning everything as much as possible before october when i go to Thailand for honeymoon. So everything has been going wonderfully. Awesome profile pic btw mini forklift! looking good.
