Pictures!

Ahh forgive me reader, for I have been a lazy ass. Ahh~ things got busy again and my blogs always suffer, you'd think that having more to write about would have the opposite effect but apparently my co-ordination is just not that smooth.

Anyway!

Pictures:
And, incase you can't tell the difference between this horribly and somehow totally jaundiced picture (ahh I can't even remember how I saved this, I am so tired) heres some annotations:
I don't know why it is sepia toned. I need to go to bed. Anyway if you can't read the labels: PECS! BIGGER ARMS! TIGHTER STOMACH! :3

Day 17: Juuust not feeling it.

I was just not in the mood today. I tried, but things weren't loosening or warming up and the mdolphins just weren't swimming. Its probably related to anxieties about friday. Anyway heres the before pic I was too self conscious to show you before:

Aaaand I think I know why my ex and I didn't have sex at all really in the final months. Or ever. Great.
I wish I could fast forward through the gum clinic testing and just get to the results and have them be good ARGH! I hate this bit. I always stress out and ruin everything. I'll try with some stretches later. Bleh. ... I need a hug.

Day 10: Uhm


So yesterday sort of dissapeared in a blur of various things and I somehow ended up not working out. So that sucked. Though I didn't do nothing, I totally racked up a good 8000+ steps on my pokewalker AND found a hyper potion, so I am pretty much set for life on those boons.

Today was a festival thing, so I've been walking around town a lot, and also this:
So yah. That was pretty fun, though I didn't walk the dog today, but I did play with him outside for a bit. Same routine as yesterday, though I thought maybe I should spell it out. This is my current main block of exercise:
- Stretches and light cardio + some yoga that I can do without snapping anything.
- 20 pushups
- 20 crunches
- 20 pushups
- 20 crunches
- 20 long arm butterflies (?) I don't know how to describe it really, but I am on my back on a bench and my arms are fully extended, with weights. Then I raise them from below the bench level to meet above me, as slowly as possible.
- 20 regular butterflies... like the previous but with bent arms, kind of like the way you use the machine in the gym.
- 20+ situps (until I feel like my abs are no longer my friend)
- 20+ pressups (same as above but with pecs and arms)
- 6 - 10 minutes of Cardio as a warm down

So far I haven't pulled anything so it seems to be working, and there are definate gains, and I feel pretty spectacular.

19 days until the 1 month picture! ... Is anyone even reading this? XD - 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
