So I decided Ive been lazy enough and I need to get back into getting in shape. I dont even care that summer is almost half way over, haha. I still gotta get a nice body whether its in a bikini or not. (plus swimming season is still on for like a month & 1/2 so I got some time). I think its gonna be a little harder than when I first started at the beginning of the year because its harder once you have plateaued. Im def gonna try though. Here is some of my plan:
1. Eat better. Less sugar, less dairy. SMALL meals including more veggies. less fruit and less breads.
2. Lots and lots of water. I need to get at least 32 oz every day.
3. 8 hours of sleep EVERY night. (this might be tough, haha)
4. Work out every day... but not Aerobic everyday. Alternate between the gym, running outside, hiking, stretching, weights.
5. Less stress. This kinda sounds silly but stress really does add on the pounds, so it more a matter of dealing with things instead of eating, haha. We will see.
I think I can do it. The hardest part is staying motivated. Im motivated today so I just have to make it last, haha.
Plus this one piece swimming suit is giving me really weird tan lines including a super pale stomach- so not cute.... And it sucks when you gotta use the restroom. haha.

work it!
wahoo!! i actually weigh less than what it says on my drivers license. (we all know you are supposed to subract a few pounds when filling out that form) im gonna have to get a new one here pretty soon! haha.
one thing that kills but is so good is doing a v-crunch. its not too bad when you are working out but if dont stretch enough later you can be pretty sore.
so here's the deal:
sit at the end of a bench. lean back on your arms. pull your knees up to your chest (hence the v) then lower them down. i did 3 sets of 10.
i give this workout an A+.

work-out's
here is where i go every morning...
my work-outs have been going pretty good. i really like exercising and being active. its a nice change and i kinda wish i would have started sooner... i think now is better than never though. the thing that seems to be working is just going, i just have to do it to it. i think thats what some of the trick is- no excuses.
i need to find some more work-outs other than just regular aerobics. i think that resistance training is good for my size because i am already muscley and i dont need to build anything i only need to tone. usually at work i try to sit on an exercise ball instead of a chair... 10 hours is rough at a desk haha.
i might start taking walks outside... haha not in k-town cuz thats a little scary but there is a track around my work that seems to be calling my name. i really never thought this was something i could do. its not really out of the ordinary but ive always been a "thicker" girl so i kinda thought thats just how things were but the more i push myself the better i feel except its a new feeling, its really neat. i really cant wait for summer. im going to do so much swimming and just being outside... haha i need to look good in some short shorts, hot pants, whatevs.
im just trying to take it day by day and i think its working for now.

gym shym.
i went to the good ol dr on thursday and he said i need to get inserts in my shoes. what?! i know. apparently i am not very coordinated and i dont know how to move properly. so whatevs. hopefully they arent muy expensive.
unfortunately they gym is getting kinda hard lately. not the working out part but going to the actual gym, which is the problem that i have run into before. i hate hate hate the gym setting. you run in place for x amount of time and people try to impress and its stupid... the two things that suck the most are:
1) old guys that watch you work out. yeah. they stand behind you and pretend to watch tv. at first i wondered if i was using the machine they wanted... even though there are 3 right next to me being unused. hhmm.. its weird.
2) people getting nekkid in the locker rooms. i usually change my clothes in the bathroom stalls because i dont know what kind of bacteria/ viruses are in those showers and i dont want to try any health experiments by taking a chance. is it that hard to just change really quick?! is it necessary to take everything off and hang out for a bit... then decide its time for clothing. not cool.
im liking this exercise thing i have going on though. ive lost some poundage though im not sure how much because scales arent the most accurate form of measurment. but its working for now. go team!
