Day 8: THINGS

I actually have things that are starting to resemble pecs, I mean, theres like actual muscle there now which you can cup in your hand. WOO! Theres a thing! Now I just need to make em bigger. Hrrm hrrm hrrm. I guess I can do it slowly, but I am just so happy that its there and that I am starting to get stronger!

In 22 days hopefully they will be thing enough to be visible on camera, they are visible now but like, not defined. Or something.

Yay! A thing.

I've built some weights and some yoga warmup stretches into my routine now. Now the process takes about 40 minutes, and included pressups, crunches, weights, stretches, cardio and some light squats (because I don't want to fuck my knees up too bad). So its going good! Thats also not counting all the walking with the puppy and the general prancing around during daylight hours. Its going welllll!

Though I am much hungrier. Like. A lot more. Its kinda wierd. But I'm liking it. Sorta.

Day 6: Puppy!

Puppies are not helpful when you're trying to do much of anything really, but at least now I am getting a pretty good cardio workout trying to stop him from eating poop or anything else he finds on the ground. There should be a thing to explain how to not get tangled up in leads, or maybe just a warning saying "oh hey btw if your dog can run faster than Usain Bolt, then you're gonna be tripped up by this stretchy cord thing like, a lot. Not even a little a lot, a lot a lot.

So yeah, I recovered from the bad milk incident pretty well and I haven't lost any strength due to it which is an extra bonus. I am now up to about 40 pressups and situps a day, with about 30 minutes of cardio spread out from whenever-the-puppy-stops-trying-to-join-in to whenever-I-go-to-bed-at-the-moment. I know its not like, amazing but its more than I could do a year ago. Or a month ago... or a week ago.

Maaan I'm so weak.

BLEH

My dad decided to poison everyone again because "use by" dates are apparently "just a big con". So all weekend I've been feeling reeeeeeeeeeeally rough and exercising just made it worse. I've been doing like a fraction of my weekday stuff but at least I haven't stopped.

So yeah, hopefully this will get out of my system soon.

Day 4: Attempt Two!

The morning was the same as usual, until Candyman's comment on this comic. From then on out I've been unable to take anything seriously. I have laughed so much today, and it feels really good. My workout lasted longer, and I am a lot less tired than I would be usually, and I no longer feel all bunged up and bleh from the cold! I also made sure I kept hydrated, and whilst that meant I was going to the loo like a racehorse, it seems to have had an added benefit of boosting my immune system.

Though I started working out a lot later than usual..

So as punishment I am moving forward my first set of topless pictures to the 29th day instead of the 30th, so I have to work harder now to get the look I want! Also I need to sort out some sort of slideshow of pictures after I get the first one up and sorted.

Day 3: Attempt two

So as it turns out doing exercise when you have the flu feels pretty good but leaves you exhausted. I felt my abs tense for the first time with my pressups today as well, which either means that I've been doing it wrong or that I am about so start doing it wrong.

I think I will put up a better picture in 30 days time, and another every other 30 days to track my progress. I've noticed that I am eating a lot more now, and that I am feeling happier in myself and a lot less stressed. I still dont get five a day, but at least now that salad ingredients are back in season, I get 1 serving at lunch time. All I need to do now is get my studies back on track!

I'm updating again at My Thingie.

Thats pretty much it for today - SR

Day 1: Attempt Two!

Many various different things have happened, and I stopped exercising properly for a while. First of all my parents decided to get a dog, which somehow lead to me having no free time to speak of, and then I became single and lost the goal I wanted, so I had to re-evaluate why I was doing this.
So now, I have a new goal, and I am working towards getting a good routine set up now that I've awakened my body and started to rebuild my core strength. My goal, is to regain all of the energy and muscle strength which I lost whilst I was sick with Salmonella last year, and to build a physique that I am happy with. I really badly want pecs, so I am going to work on those first, I don't really care about abs so much, but I would like to work on my legs and butt, as well as my arms.

I don't have a picture of the way I want things to be yet, but I do have a before picture, and here it is!
'Scuse the facial expression... I have no idea what happened there. Its also really dark which it wasn't on my phone. Wierd. Anyway...

I am hoping to be able to improve both my stamina and respiration whilst working out, so that I can do more outsidey stuff and be able to actually sing again, which I can't do currently as my lung capacity is pathetic. For serious. I didn't give up exercise completely during the time I have not been updating this blog, so I guess that leaves me at an advantage?

Currently I am all about this song, and this anime. Also I've been drawing a lot more recently, so I am hoping to start updating at My Thingie soon <3

Day 2: 100 skips!

100 skips is my current nemesis, when I can get past this I will then move on to taking over a small European nation. Until then, I will continue to be unfit and skinny. Rargh!

Also, I have made a few changes to my diet recently and they have really started to have a positive effect on my brain and overall mood. I can think much more clearly, tend to be somewhat happier, and start arguments less. Its the sex effect, but permanently. So as it turns out these and regular hydration are pretty awesome for curing melancholy.

The cure for being emo is along the same lines as the cure for malnutrition. Or maybe not.

Today, I hurt less and its starting to feel good when I am running our of breath, and afterwards I don't feel "OMG KILL ME NOW" at all. This is probably just a lull, I hear tales of people finding hell about two weeks into these things. =shrug= we shall see! Maybe its just spring keeping my mood up.

Also Blazes wants me to stay ugly. He can never learn of the existence of this blog. Ever.
Especially 'cos I will be previewing part of his present here when I get to the four month mark!
