get back into shape

My entire life I played sports. I was always participating in practice 3-5 days a week depending on the season. Since I was 4 I have participated in many, many, many sports (gymnastics (4 years), soccer (4 years), basketball (11 years or so and I was on a AAU team and school team at the same time), softball (about 16 years – always played for school and a summer league), tae kwon do (about 9 years – loved the competition part), tennis (6 years – played for the school mostly with some tournaments outside of school). So needless to say I was one busy person. Most of the time I was participating in at least two sports at once. I was always working out.

Since I graduated from college and stopped playing sports my body and my mind have both been on a workout freeze. It reminds me of playing sports or at least I feel like I should be going to “practice” everyday in order to workout. I have been working out at a gym near my house for a couple of years but even then I feel like I should be doing more than using the treadmill.

I have decided that I am mentally prepared for exercising outside of sports. This could be fun right? I plan on working out at least 5 days a week with heavy cardio and some weights and watching what I eat (portions and carbs are my weakness).

Sorry I wrote so much!
Good luck to everyone who decided to take the step and get back into shape!

So, ill work on it, wish me the best!

NOVEMBER is my time frame. everything revolves around novemember. (remember, remember the 5th of november…)

i’ve let myself slip, big time, since i started nursing school…(slip so much i’m too ashamed to admit how many pounds i’ve put on-just suffice it to say that my extra money went to buying a couple pairs of pants a few sizes up from my normal size). um, at least i’m wearing the weight well? it’s been freezing out and i’ve been stressed like only a nursing student would understand and my eating and working out habits are shameful. not to mention, i can feel the difference that carrying around the extra weight has on me…it effects my job as an stna (and hopefully, eventually, a nurse! :) )

so the plan is just to do something everyday. even if it’s only a 20 minute walk. even if it’s just 5 minutes of abs. just do something.

i’ll have to work this into my lack of grocery shopping and time prepping food. why can’t i have a personal chef sigh. i’m trying an experiment this week, we’ll see how it goes.

—-i’m recovering from the nastiest URI/walking pneumonia issue, so i don’t know how well outdoor cardio will work for me this week with it being so cold and my airways being constricted. but like i said, i’m just going for something -just do something.

ok so going to school and working 2 jobs i fell out of my going to the gym groove i was looking good.. now i have a one pack and i can not even climb stairs without loosing a lung… so i have started today and i want to loose weight and look like i did a year ago!
So i added on my things to do list 5 10 15 20 25 30 pounds to loose when i finish the 5 i will move to the next step..

So the long term goal is, of course, get healthy, strong, feel good, and set a good example for my kids. I’d also love to feel sexy again because goodness knows I haven’t felt that way in a long time. So there’s the goal and my reward will be a tattoo. I already know exactly what I want but since it will be on my belly it needs to be flat and firm. A + B = C right?

After having my baby 6 months ago I have totally lost my shape. I need to lose about 5kg but just can’t seem to shift it. This is my vow I WILL lose the weight by the end of January ….

Once upon a time, I was a stripper. I had hair down to my ass, a killer tan, big boobs and a tiny waiste. Well, fast forward 16 years and I am so out of shape that I couldn’t even work the day shift. I am so digusted with myself. Granted I have had 4 children since I stopped stripping and that sure does pack on the pounds. But, it’s really just a cop out. I need to eat better and get my fat ass to the gym.

Seems curious – when I had a partner who was somewhat critical of my appearance, I didn’t really care much about it. Now that I’m with someone who accepts me as I am, I want to take care of myself better. It helps that we’re eating a lot better these days – more vegetables, less grains and red meat.

I really miss being able to run long distances without getting sick and out of breath.

I’ve started this but i think over the xmas period it will be a bit more difficult with the hours at work and lack of eating lol!! As long as i get my weight to about a healthy 75kg (roughly) i’ll be happy!!
