All the workout DVD I own are one of those do cardio and strength together..like 30Day Shred and TransFirmation. After checking out many other dieters, especially Tyler Durden on 3FC, I realized I need to up my cardio and do cardio at least 5 days a week with at least 30 minutes each time. So after checking out many options, I got myself WATP 4 Really Big Miles..which gives me an hour of cardio if I do 4 full miles. Read more »

It’s been awhile since I’ve done daily update, it seems. I have been really busy at work and not much time to update. When I update at home, it’s only mid-day so there’s really nothing to write. And right now, I’m writing from home.so not much to write, really.

Now I have a daily ritual in the morning when I wake up. Before putting on any clothes, I look at myself in the mirror and enjoy what I see. I can start to tell that my body is getting more defined…like waist is actually there without all the lovely handles. It’s really nice to enjoy myself from front AND side view… All the workout finally is paying off, it seems. Well, it has been all along but actually seeing with my own eyes is a great feeling.

Today looks like it’s a good day. Read more »

Dolphin-Friendly Mock Tuna Salad

* 1 15-oz can garbanzo beans ( chick peas )
* 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
* 1 carrot, grated (optional)
* 1 green onion, finely chopped
* 2 tsp. mayonnaise or mustard
* 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
* 1/4 tsp. salt (optional)

Mash the garbanzo beans with a fork or potato masher.
Leave some chunks.
Add the sliced celery, grated carrot, chopped onion, mayonnaise and relish.
Add salt to taste.

I made them today and had with some crackers. I do love the chick peas, but it doesn’t even have pea flavor in it at all. Really tastes like tuna salad. I used mustard, and no mayo.
