28-Day Reset Challenge (commence)

Happy New Year everyone! L here! 

I am a serial blogger and I always love making blog posts both personal and information heavy ones. But the past 2 years or so, I have been really lazy and uninspired to get anything done due to the hectic schedules at the university which in turn has led me to seek rest instead of getting a crunch time on my health and fitness.
2016 has proven to be a very unhealthy year for me, where I ate anything and everything I wanted to without second thought to the repercussions on my health and weight . So in other terms, I really let myself go and I have no excuses for it.

2017 is now upon us my mother who is 1 exam away from being a certified health and lifestyle coach has urged me and a few others to take on Cassey Ho’s 28-Day Reset challenge. This is where you basically get rid of 5 things in your diet for 28 days. 

1. Dairy
2. Gluten
3. Added Sugar
4. Processed food
5. Alcohol

Okay so this is going to be a challenge since living in this part of this country means that food options are quite limited because this city is a very “foodie” city which means…. processed and added sugar food EVERYWHERE.  So it is going to be up to me and my roommate, Frain to keep my diet on track with the best of our abilities and budgets.

Along with the diet, I am supposed to do some exercises 6 days a week, but unfortunately I am not in any condition (budget and time-wise) to perform workouts because I am extremely busy and plenty of payables. So I have decided to take things slow this 2017.

Slow and steady wins the race.

But perhaps, come February, I might be able to start going to the gym again.

Anyway for those who are interested in also doing a 2.8-day Reset challenge. be sure to check out Cassey Ho’s blog here

So wish me luck and I hope to see ya’ll here more!

Determination is a Must

I find myself really struggling with my fitness and workout routines due to my insane schedules in university, but I always try my best to

Chicken breast the food of gains.

Hello FitQuestors it’s me R. Today I’ll be talking about good old chicken breast. My staple protein food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What I like about chicken breast is you can have it in anyway you like and with anything you want; Be it with rice, pasta or bread it’s a versatile source of protein for me. What I usually do with mine is I marinate it first in lemon, garlic and ginger for an hour or more, then I keep it in the fridge inside  zip lock bags.  L taught me that neat trick for prepping up meals. Then I just grill it on the pan until cooked and have it with anything I want.

What about you guys? How do you like your chicken breasts cooked?

Greeting FitQuestors, L here bringing you another update! Im in the middle of my 2nd week back into getting my health together and I have to say it has not been a smooth ride at all.  University is really such a huge load on me that it takes up all my energy throughout the day.

Week 1 – Reverse Progress

I was looking at my photos from a few years back and  I was really such a fitness junkie. I went to the gym, I followed a strict diet, and I kept myself motivated by a goal I was keen on achieving. I almost hit that goal, but life happened. When I say life, I mean University life. And now, I look at myself in the mirror and see my reversed progress… or rather fitness regress. Sometimes I…
