Talking to Myself

June 26, 2012 by Mellie Dee 4 Comments

Workout

55 mins cardio

On my last week of my workout plan and I cannot be happier because that means I’m closer to being to Hong Kong!

Lazy Day

Okay I’m not really lazy. I’ve just been lazy at catching up with blog readings and commenting back but I have a good excuse reason.

I’ve been trying to plan out pre written blog posts so that when I’m gone they can be published by themselves. And I even got two people to agree with doing a Guest Post! The other two I asked never answered back. Sad smile Hopefully they have a good reason.

But it’s been confirmed that there will be WiFi there so hopefully I’ll be able to pop in once in a while.

Eeep!

And I’ve been busy trying to finish a gift for someone. I am realizing that it might be stupid of me doing so. I don’t wish he thinks it’s anything because if he does and he doesn’t feel that way anymore then I feel super dumb.

Whatever. Live in the now. And stop talking to yourself, Melissa.

Okay. Off to get ready and then heading to Michelle’s for a movie night!

Ed! Starbucks!

June 25, 2012 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

Workout

30 min cardio
Arm: no breaks; 5 lb. weights
     – Tricep Extensions – 30 sec (19)
     – Bicep Curls – 20 sec (14)
     – Shoulder Presses – 30 sec (20)
     – Pushups – 30 sec (21)
Ab: 3 sets
     – Plank – 45 sec hold
     – Leg Raises – 30 sec (11 – 12 – 12)
Leg: 3 sets

     – Squats – 5 lb. weights; 30 sec (17 – 18 – 20)
     – Wall Sits – 40 sec hold

Ran outside for the first time. Really run … with some walking of course. HAHA It felt painful but it went pretty well.

The arms confused me. Why only one set? Oh well. In parenthesis are how many I did. I think it went pretty well. It was tough. I know I’ll feel the burn tomorrow when I wake up! Because I already feel it right now.

Ed!

I got to see an old high school friend of mine, Ed! We met at Starbucks and we caught up since we last saw each other … in December! Surprised smile We talked about the girl he liked and the boy I like. And all of our worries and wonders. He said I should give up. How disappointing of advice. I told him he should pursue the dang girl. Wonderful advice.

Time to shower. Eat dinner (later eater but I sleep late so it all works out). And relax (blog and watch shows).

I Love Reading

June 24, 2012 by Mellie Dee 4 Comments

Melissa’s Lone Book Club

I love reading. Love Love Love. And I recently got into the swing of it again.

I finally finished The Hunger Game Trilogy. The third book was very hard to read but I continued since I already finished the first two books and was almost halfway done with the third. I must say, the ending was horrible. Used to wrap up the whole story. I was very disappointed in the last book. Horrible!

I’ve already finished another book upon finishing that horrible book on Saturday night. UnEnchanted: An Unfortunate Fairy Tale by Chanda Hahn. I really loved this book. Obviously … if I finished it so quickly. There’s more than one book and I cannot wait to find the next ones. Check it out. It’s a VERY easy read. I think it’s written for Juniors. Sometimes I still think I’m a kid.

I’m already on my third book Get Bunny Love by Kathleen Long.

Pictures for Fun

New purse … for Hong Kong fun.

I’m pretty sure every family is like so. My family needs this.

Sissy and I bought some makeup stuff from E.L.F.: Eyes Lips Face Who shops there? Sometimes cheap things are the best.

I’m in love with the Matte Nail Polish! It changes WHATEVER color nail polish you want to matte. So gorgeous!

Everyone needs a picture of themselves on every blog post. No? Oh … well. Too bad. I must say … Instagram makes you 100% better looking.

Went to Whole Foods Market with mum and June. Ate there. I shared a Broccoli Cheese Soup with mum and got my own yummy box of goodness. I finally got to try quinoa. And I love it! I cannot wait to make my own one day. Gotta research first!

Also got 2 for $6 boxes of chocolates! Yum! Dark chocolate love! And also snagged some green bean and carrot chips!

Workout

I took a day off yesterday. Whoops poopsie!

But I still broke a sweat!

45 min cardio

Donezo!

San Antonio in a few days and Hong Kong in a little over a week! Eeep!

Pushing Through

June 20, 2012 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

What I Want Wednesday

Aquala Bamboo Bath Caddy | $79.95

I am sure there are cheaper ones but this just looks so cool with the wine glass holder and what not. If I were to take baths this is what I’d do. Except instead of a real book, it’ll be my Kindle Fire.

Hopefully it won’t fall in the water. That would be a bummer. I never understood people that read in their baths … doesn’t your book get wet?!

“Wake Up and Run” Off the Shoulder Girly Sweatshirt | $38

Obviously I don’t “Wake Up and Run” but this is still cute. Love off the shoulder sweatshirts. Need to work on my shoulders and arms before wearing something like this though!

Workout

30 min cardio
Arm: 5 lb. weight, 3 sets of 12

– Slow Burn Bicep Curls
– Pushups
– Tricep Extensions
– Shoulder Presses
Ab: 3 sets
– Plank – 45 sec hold
– Leg Raises – 15
Leg: 3 sets
– Forward Lunges – 15 left, 15 right
– Squats – 12
– Wall Sits – 35 sec hold
– Toe Raises – 15

It’s been hot in my house … and this didn’t make it any better. Sweat. Sweat. Sweat.

This workout plan is getting tough because I’m getting lazy. But I’m still pushing through.

Need motivation …

10 more days … why would I quit now?!

Blogging Is Boring?!

June 19, 2012 by Mellie Dee 8 Comments

Workout

45 min cardio

I was going to run outside with Rocky. And by run, I mean as far as my legs can get me before I have to start jogging or walking.

But the rain thunder and lightening stopped me. So I resulted in jogging in place, jumping jacks, and butt kicks as my cardio instead.

Done.

Blogging = Boring

I told a friend of mine that I’ve spend my day watching telly shows and blog. And by blogging, I mean sitting here reading other people’s blogs, commenting, and writing my own. Simple but time consuming. But to me super fun.

But she thinks it’s the most boringest (yes, that’s a word in my dictionary) thing ever. She didn’t mean it in a rude way but it kind of hurts.

(via)

Well, baby, you’re wrong and you’ve hurt my feelings. Unless you are a blogger, you won’t understand the joy of blogging. Simple as that.

I’m not saying all I do is sit here on the computer or sit and watch shows. I go out. I work out. I clean. I see my family (everyday) and friends (from time to time). And I have fun.

This is a reason why I don’t tell people (and her) about my blog. They know I have one, but they don’t know how to find me. Only a select few know.

Don’t ever let someone’s words stop you from doing what you love. Be yourself. You don’t have to fit in.

I’m going back to my blog reading and commenting.

I do what I want!
