Miss Mighty Mouse

I am a Visual Arts student from Canada going into my fifth (and last) year of undergrad. I like to lift weights, do yoga, cook healthy food, and eat lots of chocolate.

This is where I post my personal goals, log my workouts, share interesting articles, and post some of my photography work. Enjoy!

No swimming because I have the worst DOMS in my hamstrings and bum I’ve ever had in my life. And I’m going to do the same leg workout tomorrow, so I need them to be ready for all of that. I did this workout while watching How to Train Your Dragon. :D

AND NEW LULU LEGGINGS!! So I tweeted at lululemon a while ago asking them to make red leggings, they replied asking what colour red and I said currant. WELL GUESS WHAT THEY CAME OUT WITH THIS WEEK! I had to get them. Also, my mom commented on how little I was bringing to Europe so far. Clearly this means I can get away with another pair of leggings. And the rest of my workout clothes! Heeeeeheeheeheehehe.

Food for today was sketchtastic. I had oatmeal for breakfast, caramel corn for lunch, and pasta sauce sans pasta for dinner. Yep. Definitely getting protein powder because I had a grand total of like 20g today.

Behold my shrimpy arms: I sit in awkward positions to see my triceps, and like to flex and show off my tiny guns. Upper body tomorrow! Wee!

Guess I should head to bed, my kitten is already KO’d and doing her usual hog the bed, fart, snore, and flop around thing. And she totally stole my side tonight.

Later, dudes!

My first semi-legit leg day in SO long! I’m already feeling it in my butt and hammies tonight. So, uh, apparently sharpening that photo on my phone was a terrible idea. Oy, the grain.

But the one awesome awesome thing I noticed this summer while attempting to cut is the super sweet leg definition I’m getting. My stomach is all sorts of sketchy, and can be bloated, skinny, or muscley looking on a given day, depending on what I’ve eaten or done activity-wise. But my legs have consistently felt leaner, at least in the quads, where they’re really starting to pop through.

Food was interesting today.. Had a good breakfast, then probably too much pizza and cookies at lunch, but I stayed within my kcal range and made a good dinner with a spinach and broccoli cauliflower crust pizza. PS cauliflower crust/bread is my new favourite thing, despite my food processor being scary as hell.

I’m thinking about protein powder again. Haven’t had it in a while, and it’s really hard to get my protein in with just food, based on the food choices I like to make. But I also want to decrease my dependency from it, since I am going abroad and I’m not sure if I will be able to get it/afford it at school. However, in the last month of kinda cutting, and beginning to train with weights again, I think it might be a good way to ensure I get that daily protein in. Thoughts, anyone?

Flashback Friday!

Posting my ‘progress’ shots. Figure Skating Lisa circa Summer 2009 to Speed Skating Lisa circa Winter 2011.

That last program I skated was supposed to be what I used to get the remainder of my competitive tests with, to eventually incorporate double axels and triples into, and to compete with on my school’s varsity team. It still makes me sad that I only got to compete it once, and not only was skating an easier version of the program to ensure I passed the test (and therefore wasn’t expecting a good result), but also failed due to a technicality rule my coach didn’t see before the competition.

But! Speed skating is just as much fun as figure skating was, and I’m proud to have come as far as I have in all-around mental and physical strength!

Oy, sorry for the double post. You’d think I was new at this or something, geez.

GUNSHOW THURSDAYYY

This is why I can’t do a figure competition: inability to flex more than two muscles at once, especially without making a very angry face, hahaha. Plus I have teeny, malfunctioning arms. ALL THE EVIDENCE OF MY HARD WORK IS GONE! D:

Also, mismatched bikini to maximize my chances of it actually staying on in the pool.

I’m all hopped up on coffee. LET’S GO.

Hahahahaha, same.

I did my first headstands without ANY balancing on the wall today!

:D

My new hoodie has a ninja raccoon with throwing stars on it. BOOYAH!

This wasn’t just a post to flash about my hoodie. I did go for a bike ride in it last night. And I ate that pizza for breakfast today. (Dad left me perogies and pizza and instructions to eat them. I’m taking the weekend to eat them, despite gluten. So far it’s not too bad.)

AND I HAVE MY BIKE I HAVE MY BIKE I HAVE MY BIKE AGAIN!

I’m super excited to get out and explore the parks around my house! And do some longer rides downtown and out to the beaches soon. The only thing is I don’t have the key for my lock here yet, but I think I’m going home this weekend and I can get it then. No locking up my bike this week though.

And since I haven’t been posting my workouts (though this past week was a bit of a break for me), here are the past week’s activities:

Picture of us with 3+ scoops of ice cream each: 
We didn’t get scoops, but we did get three different flavours of frozen yogurt and mountains of candy. 

This may or may not have been dinner.
