Random Facts About Me

I found this tag on Cassey's blog - Blogilates. I LOVE her workout vids and she is an amazing inspiration, so I thought I'd join in on the fun with this tag.

My Random Facts:

1. On the first day of first grade at a new school, I threw up right before school ended, and it went all over this boy's pants. Someone yelled out "She threw up her tonsils!" haha. I ended up going to school w/ these people for the next 8 years. Yay private school!

2. I went to an all-girls Catholic high school. It was crazy and I had the best times of my life there. Btw, I went to Catholic school from K-12. This means 13 years of wearing uniform. Cray cray indeed.

3. I'm addicted to video games. I love my PS3. I play so much that I think I have carpal tunnel because of it. 

4. I got a brazilian wax once. It hurt so bad I never went again but I really want to try another place.

5. I turn red when I drink alcohol - the "Asian Glow". People think I'm already really drunk when I'm actually not drunk at all. It works out pretty favorably since I don't like alchy much.

6. I'm waiting to hear back from the law schools that I applied to. I hope I get in somewhere this cycle, because I would do ANYTHING but study again to retake the LSAT. I went MIA for 5 months last year and had a bunch of nervous breakdowns because of that dang test.

7. I have a very extreme personality. I either super love or super hate something, there is no in between for me.

8. I have been with my BF for 6 years, and we live together. I still get excited when he texts me while we're at work. We have to have hugging sessions each day as well.

9. I am in the process of buying my first condo with my BF and we are so excited!

10. I almost died while I was boogie boarding in Hawaii when I was 14. I went off by myself to a random beach where no one was at, and got hit with super tall waves and scratched my feet against the huge rocks underneath. I was gasping for air and being pulled down with my board. I managed to get out after a few minutes of struggling but my life flashed before my eyes!

11. I love my family so MUCH! I have 2 sets of parents, a little bro and little sis, and I have tons of cousins.

11 New Questions for my friends:

1. If you were a fruit or vegetable, which one would you be and why? I would be spinach. I don't know why but I just LOVE spinach and it is so versatile.

2. What’s your fave song to sing when you go Karaoke-ing? Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays by NSYNC. All. the. time. LOVES IT!

3. If you got $1 million tomorrow what would you do? I'm hoping this 1 million is after tax! If I have to pay taxes, I won't have that much to play with! I would max out my roth IRA, buy an investment property in cash, bulk up my emergency fund, put some in stocks to play around with, go on a vacation with the BF to hawaii, and probably put the rest in retirement.

4. What’s your favorite feature on a guy/girl/whatever sex you’re attracted to? I like tall (but not too tall because I'm only 5'3") and athletic men. Basically I'm describing my BF :) He's 5'10" and he was a soccer star.

5. What is your ultimate “bad food” or “cheat food”? Carne asada fries! I die for it. Fries, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and tons and tons of hot sauce. I live in San Diego, so if you haven't had carne asada fries from SD, you really haven't had carne asada fries. Unless you've had some in Mexico, then that works too. And other cheat foods would have to be chips and candy. I apparently like high fructose corn syrup.

6. Have you had your heart broken or are you a heart breaker? I've broken a few hearts and had my heart "broken" when I was younger. Not really much of either though.

7. What superpower do you want to possess? If you've seen No Ordinary Family I really liked the mom's superpower. She was able to run as fast as the speed of light so she was always in shape and she was able to do EVERYTHING in seconds. And be in 2 places at once almost. I really want that power.

8. What’s you fave meal of the day? I look forward to dinner. Breakfast and lunch is usually light and eaten at work so maybe that's why I like dinner, because I get to eat it at home and with my BF.

9. If you could pick your own name, what would it be? I like boyish names for girls... so I'd like to be Corie, or Alex, or Carson or something. Hahah weird right? Actually I want to name my daughter Carson...so I'm hoping I have a daughter one day.

10. Which ice cream best describes your personality? Probably Mocha Almond Fudge. I'm nutty and sweet!

11. On the plane, when the flight attendant asks you what drink you’d like, what do you pick? GINGER ALE FTW! I always get ginger ale. I actually heard someone order a cran-apple so I think I'll be adventurous and try that out next time.


I'm really new to the fitness blogosphere so I don't have anyone to tag yet...feel free to steal this tag!

My Breakfast Was So Good!

I love eating breakfast! It's actually my favorite meal of the day and I look forward to it each night. Totally dorky I know. I guess I like all of the options you can eat and I like how it starts your day off right. For breakfast I really like bagels (although they're not too healthy for you), cereal, oatmeal, and my favorite - greek yogurt with fruit and a bit of a honey.

My favorite greek yogurt brand is Fage closely followed by Chobani. I tried Dannon's greek yogurt the other day and absolutely hated it! It really reminded me of sour cream, not good. Anyway today I thought I'd mix things up a bit and I absolutely loved the outcome!

I used Fage greek yogurt with Justin's Hazelnut Butter (I got mine at Vons) and half of a small banana. I save my other half of the banana to eat right before my lunchtime workout. To top it off, I also added some honey bunches of oats. I would have liked to use granola but I'm out. I can seriously eat buckets of hazelnut butter (or nutella) but mixing it with greek yogurt tasted soooo good! It was like a dessert but not sinful.

This is with the hazelnut butter underneath and before I mixed it. It looks much better once mixed!

I actually just got back from the gym and since I'm still sore from yesterday, I just ran on the treadmill for 15 mins followed by some pilates exercises - mostly leg exercises mixed with some core work. Lastly I went crazy on the elliptical for 10 mins.

I tend to get hungry after lunch around 2 or 2:30 and today I brought veggie chips to snack on! This will help me combat those vending machine cravings.

Welcome to Fab Fitness Junkie!

I'm starting this fitness blog to share and document my daily thinspirations, struggles with eating healthy, working out, gym sessions, favorite group exercise classes, favorite workout clothes, and mainly to keep me accountable and motivated. I work full-time as a Contracts Analyst in the healthcare industry, and I have an endearing boyfriend, a 7 year old pekingese/toy poodle, and juggling working out and eating healthy can be difficult. Hopefully I can connect with many of you who are in the same boat with a busy lifestyle and we can motivate each other to keep striving to reach our goals.

More about me...
I wanted to be a kinesiology major in college (uhh who doesn't want to have spinning as a general elective?) and wanted to be a personal trainer or a pilates instructor, but instead I decided to keep my passion as a hobby. I've always been into working out since my mom was also a workout addict. I have lots of fond memories at the 24-hour fitness daycare while my mom was at her aerobics classes. I enjoy turbo kickboxing, zumba, pilates, and running. I'm currently waiting to hear back from law schools and then you'll get to see me juggle working full-time with homework and working out! It should be fun. Hope you enjoy the ride!
