Fitness Report #12: Getting Injured Is not Fun!

Hi everyone, <br /><br />Last week, I exercised in a total amount of time of 2 hours and 40 minutes. This is a record low and you wanna know why? Yours truly decided to be fancy and did kick-boxing. Somewhere along the short 20-minute of kicking, I managed to injure my left knee. This knee, since as long as I could remember, has always given me terrible problems up to a point that I could not walk for weeks. I went to a doctor recently and he told me there's nothing he could do since the injury is cause by an improperly healed fracture on my kneecap. Once in a while, the knee would get hurt and he advised me not to do anything too intense to traumatize it.<br /><br />And being a good patient, I thought I should try kick-boxing. It looked more intense than Zumba and I wanted to lose more weight. But I forgot one thing: kick-boxing involves twisting from the knees and after 20 minutes, my left knee decided to take a break.<br /><br />I am still taking a break until today but it's for a different reason: my family is moving again. After what feels like an eternity, the house is finally finished. Currently, we are exhausted but there are things to be done. Everyday, I tire myself out from all the house work and preparation for the big move. All I long for is to get enough sleep so I don't feel like a zombie but that's harder said than done.<br /><br />Alright guys, I hope you continue exercising despite my predicament. I hope my knee is going to be better soon so I can finish this fitness challenge in stride. After this, I am going to shoot for the stars. I can't tell you what I have in mind yet. Once I'm done with this challenge, I will let you know.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/shortylam/?action=view&current=endcredit.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/shortylam/endcredit.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">P.S: If you like my blog, please <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyMakeupBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" style="border: 0pt none; vertical-align: middle;" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyMakeupBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">subscribe to my feed.</a> Thanks a lot!</span></td></tr></tbody></table>

Fitness Report #11

Hi everybody, <br /><br />Guess what? I'm only 19 more days away from completing the 100-day fitness challenge, yay! My pair of shoes decided to take an early retirement and I needed a new pair so badly. Finding shoes my size in Vietnam is difficult and especially since I am a fan of <a href="http://www.newbalance.com/">New Balance</a>, it is hard to switch to another brand.<br /><br />A little bit about my feet: they have shallow arches as well as overpronation (the tendency of the feet to roll inward.) I've tried many pairs of sneakers over the years but only New Balance provides comfort and stability. On top of that, a pair of NB lasts for a good year or two if your only workout is walking. Since I do aerobics, running shoes are not suitable. I picked a pair of training shoes and my feet are thanking me for that.<br /><br />What I did last week:<br /><br /><ul><li>Monday: break</li><li>Tuesday: Activate + Rush + butt workout (1hr 30')</li><li>Wednesday: Step by step + abs workout (1hr 16')</li><li>Thursday: Pilates (1hr 12')</li><li>Friday: break</li><li>Saturday: Concert (1hr)</li><li>Sunday: Gym (1hr 30')</li></ul><div>Total amount of time sweating my butt off: <b><u>6 hours 28 minutes!</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>Last week was a particularly good week when I could incorporate multiple workouts in a session. Also, I am adding Pilates on top of Zumba and my body has been really really sore. Despite how simple it may look, Pilates moves are killer body toners. I have tried so many things before but when it comes down to shaping my bod, Pilates is the quickest way to go.</div><div><br /></div><div>This week, so far I am not so blessed with working out: I have been super busy and it has been so hot, too. I worked out 40 minutes today and felt like passing out instead. Oh well, something is better than nothing. I'll try my best.</div><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/shortylam/?action=view&current=endcredit.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/shortylam/endcredit.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">P.S: If you like my blog, please <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyMakeupBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" style="border: 0pt none; vertical-align: middle;" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyMakeupBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">subscribe to my feed.</a> Thanks a lot!</span></td></tr></tbody></table>

Nghia O'Beauty Nail Polish in S030

Hi everyone, <br /><br />Remember last Monday I posted about <a href="http://mymakeupblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/i-can-haz-haul.html">a haul</a> with some nail polishes? Well, I got a chance to try the brown own from Nghia O'Beauty, a Vietnamese brand. In fact, Nghia is a famous company that produces cuticle nippers and nail clippers here. If you go to a nail salon in the U.S that's owned and operated by Vietnamese, chances are you already experienced Nghia hardware. I've used a German cuticle nipper and an American one before using Nghia and so far, Nghia is still the best.<br /><br />Nghia O'Beauty (NOB) is the brand's nail polish, although the store I visited did sell a variety of brands from cheap to expensive. They also have OPI which surprisingly, is cheaper than in the U.S since they came from the way of Hong Kong. A bottle of NOB costs almost $1USD and has 10ml. The glass bottle is slim and the brush is really good. It kinda reminds me of the brush inside the Rimmel London nail polish bottle.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZjsTZPA-SM7LbG_8A6r0man7RsHhhXiSTnUqe_kjLf0D9iyySKIl89HQwFbDSqZNzXHAnkorEE6zBlSqgRRGzaQZg2FbsmBH2_eumIh0FLhX-xMomEZDW4i2GNkaTqWqZn9lJ409mccat/s1600/IMG_4838.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZjsTZPA-SM7LbG_8A6r0man7RsHhhXiSTnUqe_kjLf0D9iyySKIl89HQwFbDSqZNzXHAnkorEE6zBlSqgRRGzaQZg2FbsmBH2_eumIh0FLhX-xMomEZDW4i2GNkaTqWqZn9lJ409mccat/s640/IMG_4838.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Nghia O'Beauty nail polish in S030</td></tr></tbody></table>" How good is this nail polish?" I asked myself before buying it. Luckily, the store allowed me to swatch in store and I was impressed with the quality. It runs smooth and I only need one coat on my nail. Yup, the nail polish is smooth and pigmented.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtIMqWh2e8akThGh49xf8uPeOUo071G39LJEQe4v2Tm1X4QpCLS9vkR4PDqjUGsH45oGEW71JM1wIb0TmtJqSDNYdics_z-0bH5_xI7gGjb0LGoMvbOn0N4rXPEdqGaxZestTGQQmkwWYL/s1600/IMG_4839.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtIMqWh2e8akThGh49xf8uPeOUo071G39LJEQe4v2Tm1X4QpCLS9vkR4PDqjUGsH45oGEW71JM1wIb0TmtJqSDNYdics_z-0bH5_xI7gGjb0LGoMvbOn0N4rXPEdqGaxZestTGQQmkwWYL/s640/IMG_4839.JPG" width="472" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">S030 with Nubar 2010</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlReo1ntg0ovcrCHMHRmAed4xVAbGpoL9Gvv-r_YRGstiFT1WFXKfY0u0hIAKuxZF_9lBKvZ3ItRq6tgIXt-_SCYT2VD2EeK1kCuzyQ2hngcPsy9DWxC9l8JiC1VZrN06PGQGeHtj9DehO/s1600/IMG_4842.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlReo1ntg0ovcrCHMHRmAed4xVAbGpoL9Gvv-r_YRGstiFT1WFXKfY0u0hIAKuxZF_9lBKvZ3ItRq6tgIXt-_SCYT2VD2EeK1kCuzyQ2hngcPsy9DWxC9l8JiC1VZrN06PGQGeHtj9DehO/s640/IMG_4842.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Another shot at the nails :)<br />Since this color is just a basic brown, I decided to jazz it up with Nubar 2010.<br />As they say, everything looks good with a little bit of 2010 sprinkled on top.</td></tr></tbody></table>Also, here's the thing about the pictures: I applied the nail polishes on Monday and took the pictures on Saturday. Yet, no chips or cracks or anything. Not even tip wear. Granted, I have good base and top coats but this is some serious nail polish! Not even OPI is durable as this. I can't help but think this is car paint kind of nail varnish that I bought because it does not come off unless I take it off my nails.<br /><br />I'm glad that I bought this chocolate brown nail polish. In store, it is in the upper echelon of the Vietnamese-made nail polishes and this nail polish is so worth it. I would buy it again but Nghia O'Beauty seems to have conservative colors only.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/shortylam/?action=view&current=endcredit.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/shortylam/endcredit.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">P.S: If you like my blog, please <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyMakeupBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" style="border: 0pt none; vertical-align: middle;" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyMakeupBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">subscribe to my feed.</a> Thanks a lot!</span></td></tr></tbody></table>

The amount of time I spent is enough to challenge my muscles without making me feel like I have an easy pass. Also, it's not long enough for me to feel like I should pass out, either. I know the optimal time I should spend to exercise in order to lose weight is 90 minutes and I've been getting closer at it. I did Mix a couple of times since it is a longer workout and I always feel the fatigue the day after. Therefore, I know I'm not there yet. But I intend to get there soon, though.

My 10 Gym Pet Peeves

Hi everyone,<br /><br />Although I am not a gym rat, I have enough time in the gym to have my own pet peeves. Here are my top 10:<br /><br />1. I go to the gym and hear people bragging that they spend x amount of time working out while the only thing I see is them talking to each other while leaning on the machines I intended to use.<br /><br />2. Guys who leave their towels on the machines that they don't use as a way to reserve them: if you are not using them, take your stinky towels away so I can use the machines.<br /><br />3. People who don't wipe away the sweats they leave on the machines: and you expect my clothes to absorb your sweat? Ewww!<br /><br />4. Guys who drop the weights on the floor after using them: there's a rack, you should put the weights there. If I trip and fall because of those weights, it's going to be all on you.<br /><br />5. People who talk on their cell phones while working out: come on, I don't want to know what you are planning to do tonight. Keep that to yourself and go somewhere else to talk.<br /><br />6. Girls who wear skimpy workout clothes but never break a sweat because all they do is to talk to handsome guys: 'nuff said. Stop sauntering in front of me while contorting your body to impress that guy. He's exercising. He's not interested.<br /><br />7. People who don't wear proper workout clothing: I'm not Tim Gunn or anything but please stop wearing what you would wear to sleep to the gym. The fabric is not thick enough to cover your man boobs and/or naughty bits after you are on the treadmill for 15 minutes or so.<br /><br />8. Elderly people who walk around naked in the locker room: every gym has to have at least one. I'm not discriminated or anything but please, put some clothes on. The locker room is still a public place, y'know?<br /><br />9. The person who likes to correct the yoga instructor: I have one word for you: moron! She is the instructor. You are not. So keep your opinions to yourself.<br /><br />10. The person who wants to know all about how much weight you have loss and then give passive-aggressive comments: if that person can't find a way to be encouraging then don't say anything at all. <br /><br />How about you? Do you have any pet peeves at the gym? Please share, ok?<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/shortylam/?action=view&current=endcredit.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/shortylam/endcredit.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">P.S: If you like my blog, please <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyMakeupBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" style="border: 0pt none; vertical-align: middle;" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyMakeupBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">subscribe to my feed.</a> Thanks a lot!</span></td></tr></tbody></table>

I Can Haz Haul!

Hi everyone, <br /><br />The last makeup purchase I did was somewhere in January. It felt like a million years ago since I bought makeup for myself. Living in Vietnam has its own perks but for a beauty blogger, it ain't fun. Too many skincare products and not enough makeup. And even for the makeup that I could find, they were so expensive. A MAC eye shadow costs $14.50 USD back in the States. It actually costs around $30 here, not the $19.50 international price we see on the MAC LE price list.<br /><br />Not only I miss makeup, I miss <i>drugstore</i> makeup. Nothing is as awesome as finding nicely pigmented eye shadows on sale and I had a coupon. I don't get that kind of deal over here.<br /><br />Recently, I found a shop that sells nail supplies near my place. Lucky me, it also has a variety of makeup.
