This month has been a really fun trial month for me, I've been exploring groupon deals and did activities like rock climbing, roller blading and so on. I'm trying to find a fun hobby to have on the side that keeps me moving. I've recently purchased a kettle bell from kmart and planning to do short home work-outs for when I'm too busy to go out. Also joined the F45 craze that's been going on, I did the one week trial and went twice. It's a good workout with interval training. I must say I do like crossfit better but this is a fun work out class nonetheless!

April - June update
Super prolonged post as uni just piled up recently! I unfortunately left crossfit at the end of April as it was getting too much to handle atm. May/June has been really stressful and I didn't get to really exercise these two months so I did lose some leg muscles and my upper abs that were beginning to show in April no longer exists haha. I did not realise how much muscle I lost until I measured myself, a bit disappointed in myself but I've started working out again so hopefully next month will be better! :)

March update
Hello there!
I can't believe it is April already! So, I did a crossfit challenge last month and ended up loving it soooo much that I decided to join a crossfit box near my place. I am starting to see results mainly in my calves and butt region (Thanks to the many squats and kettlebell swings). I dedicate three days a week to crossfit and I have been spending the other days this month trying MMA which is a lot of fun. I'm still exploring new things but I'm planning to just increase my days in crossfit starting next month. Oh, I know I said I wanted to progressively run to 5km but it is so COLD. I can't stand going out before 6 am for a jog when I know it is freezing out there and I'm not a threadmill kind-of-girl. Luckily, the crossfit sessions I go to do a lot of running so I can still build my stamina and achieve that goal when the cold months die down.

February update
Hey guys!
Now that I ended my vacation internship I had more free time and decided to start running before uni started. I'm absolutely horrible at running but I would really like to be able to jog 5 km without being out of breath.
This month I started doing cross fit as well. I joined a 28-day challenge that started on the 18th of February in Canningvale. The work outs are a killer and I almost gave up because it is so intense, but I stuck with it and I'm so glad that I did. I have ditched intermittent fasting since I wanted to follow the nutrition plan provided by the coach and will post before and after shots after the challenge is complete! :)
I've lost about 2 kgs because I stopped eating cake almost everyday but had extra inches when I measured which is probably due to water weight. I'm pretty happy with my progress and excited to continue to try new things!

January updates
Hey lovelies~
I've made a new year's resolution to get fit and I'll be updating on my progress every month. :)
I entered 2017 at 56 kgs and hope to drop down to 48 kgs (my weight in 2015!) while still eating out (Nope, can't give up this lifestyle just yet). This month I made myself move. I've been very busy this month with moving out, work, family, etc. that I decided to get into a proper routine starting February and focused this month on reaching 10,000 steps every day which I counted through my fitbit. I also decided to do intermittent fasting (Only eat in an 8 hour window gap) three times a week.
All my measurements pretty much stayed the same. I lost an inch off my stomach and 0.7 kg but I did do a one day fruit detox the day before I took my measurement so that is probably the reason for the slight decrease.

New year's resolution | 2017
I think it's great to have a list of goals you set yourself yearly since it helps you improve on yourself! Not only that but goals means that you have something to look forward to and it gives you another reason to celebrate when you actually achieve them. This year, I decided to post my goals on my blog so that it motivates me to achieve them even more and makes me accountable to them. I decided to have 12 goals this year, not too little so there can be challenges this year and not too much that I don't complete most of them.
1. Write a blog post at least once a month
Yes, I always get super busy when uni starts and neglect my blog but I'm hoping to change it around this year!
2. Drop down to 48 kgs
I was never a fat kid, I do however have a lot of fats around my stomach/thighs/arms which I could and should lose. Last year around christmas time I was 48kg, and I haven't grown any taller since so that's all fat gains right there! I'm currently 56 kgs and 155 cm tall so I'm looking to trim down a bit to fit into my old size 8 clothes. Hopefully I succeed in achieving this year because toning down and losing weight seems to be my goal every year that never succeeds haha!
2. Do a 30 day fitness challenge
I love fitness challenges! There's so many out there and I love doing them, the only problem is.... I've never successfully finished one. I mean I've done the 30 day shred challenge and 30 day abs challenge but I lasted 28 days and 22 days respectfully. TWENTY EIGHT days, Jess why why why it was only two extra days. I'm going to account my next challenge here so that I *hopefully* won't back out!
4. Get 6 hours sleep a day
Uni life usually leads me to sleep under 6 hours a day, which is horrible, I know. So this year I'm hoping to be more organised and balance my social/work life so that I can get a decent sleep every night!
5. Be able to jog for 5km
This is going to be a big goal for me as I'm really really bad at running. I don't think I can run for two minutes straight without dying.
6. Start a hobby
Right now I'm not sure what it will be, but I'm looking for some sort of hobby that is fitness related like maybe rock climbing, aerials or who knows maybe even kick boxing.
7. Visit my little sister once a week
My little sister is moving to Perth in January! She won't be living with me as she's younger than 18 and I can't be her guardian since I'm not a resident or citizen of Australia :(
So I'm going to try to visit her at least once a week to take her around.
8. Travel Travel Travel!
I want to experience more of the world, so this year I aim to visit a country that I have never been before!
9. Lose my concert virginity
Yup, I've never been to a concert. I've always imagined that my first concert would be Taylor Swift (Swiffie fan woo) but let's see if she tours Perth this year!
10. Get vacation work for the summer break.
I'm going to graduate in two years so I'd like to get as much connections/experience as I can so I can make my mark in the industry. Oh, and money, I want to make the cha-ching in summer too haha.
11. Maintain a distinction average.
Grades are important to me, and I want to keep my grades where they are at despite my other goals of travelling, working to save, etc, etc.
12. Have $50,000
I'm aiming to save enough in the next two years so that I can pay for my little sister to go to university here in Australia. I'm ending 2016 with $30,000 in my savings account since I've been saving for my baby girl for three years already. So $20,000 with jobs this year should be attainable? I don't know, let's hope!
So those are all my goals this year, come at me 2017.
Hope everyone has a good celebration tonight, Happy New Year!
