Ok tonight's full body HIIT workout was kickass: squats, banded hip thrusters, kettle bell side to side shuffle, box jumps, Australian pull ups, narrow push ups, and more. Then finished off with a 15min interval on the stair machine. . . For Spartan race there will be a lot of hills, so it's important to incorporate stairs and running on an incline into my training. I hate it, but it's necessary. Otherwise I will regret it later. . . . . #weightloss #weightlossjourney #fitness #fitnessjourney #gym #energiecardio #fitforlife #fitfam #gyminspiration #gymmotivation #gymselfie #fitfamily #workinprogress #strongissexy #stairmaster (at Énergie Cardio)

Friday morning workout went pretty well. Ran 5km in under 33min!!!! When I heard the app stating the time and distance, I was like "what the hell that fast?!" . . Today I was conscious of how I was landing on my feet and made an effort to lift my legs a bit more. My ankles felt pretty good after the workout, no pain..... this time. We will see if I feel the same when I bump up to longer distance runs. . . . . #halfmarathontraining #5kmrun #c25k #happyrunner #running #runninggirl #runningwoman #nikerunapp #nikerunclub #didyouruntoday #morningrun #amsquad

Brunch is served! This morning I had an intensive workout, on the bike and doing HIIT exercises. Went on an errand right afterwards. FAMISHED by the time we got home. This is left over sheppard's pie with sweet potatoes, black beans and spinach omelette. Bon appetit to me! . . #brunch #feast #leftovers #hungrybeast #aftergymmeal #weightlossjourney #wlj #healthiereating #postworkout

I have been inconsistent with my workouts this month. Feeling a little disappointed with myself since I gained back some weight. . However I am not going to beat myself down, it's back to the starting point and try again until I reach my goals. It's okay to fall once in awhile, I just need to pick myself back up. . Today I am at the gym doing cardio (bike and elliptical). I plan on building my endurance for some daytime bike touring this summer. . Oh like my new tank top? Bacon & Barbells ftw.

Steak and beer tonight

Mmmmmm so good. Chicken broth with coconut milk, green tea noodles, marinated chicken strips, bean sprouts and a soft egg. . . #foodporn #ramen #homemade #instafood #eathealthy #yummy

Happy Easter Friday! It's good to be back in the gym and doing some bar squats with light weights. It was mostly legs today. My back & shoulder pain is slowly going away, but it will still be another 2-3 weeks before I am feeling at 100%. Regardless, I don't quit and keep on moving. . . #getfitphuong #weightloss #weightlossjourney #fitness #loseweight #vlogging #fitnessjourney #gym #bootcamp #energiecardio #fitforlife #fitfam #fitspo #gyminspiration #gymmotivation #gymselfie #fitfamily #workinprogress #bodybuilding #weightlossinspiration #instahealth #healthandfitness #health

So it's been over 2 weeks since my last gym selfie. I had to take a break to tend to my back and shoulder. It's good to be back working out this week. I am taking it easy with the weights so not to trigger another muscle pull. I figure it will take another 3-4 weeks before I am completely healed to do deadlift again. I'm taking it day by day.
