get in shape

So i got a job landscaping and it has made me in shape. and i bike to and from work… also good.

i should still work out and lift weights but i dont seem to. i am still in shape though. :) i would call this done but its a life long goal and must be maintained.

So I’ve been studying for the collage exams for almost a year. I gained 14 kgs. I don’t know how much pounds it is (metric system rocks lol). I wasn’t really fit before that i could label my body as OK. Now clearly not.. I’m feeling very unhappy about my physical condition. I simply look “large”. I’m tall, about 1.92 mt which used to be a some sort of joker for me. But after 9 mouths sitting on a chair and eating heavy food, well i am fat. I know the whole story is based on the “no pain no gain” philosophy but i’m a bit nervous. I’ve been planing to start to get my look back. But like smokers do I delay that starting to a anonymous next Monday.

Think I’m gonna start it soon. :)

... but I rode around Lake Bemidji the other day, 17.1 miles! And I didn’t even feel tired afterward, I could have went 17.1 more!

I’ve just finished a month-long trial at a gym in Oranmore and today I re-joined my old gym. I’ve been eating well and exercising, and while I can’t really see any difference, my mam says I’ve lost a good bit of weight around my tummy. My motivation is slipping a bit, but I’m going to try my hardest to keep going.

After the baby and the PhD I’m hoping to finally have some time to get in shape. I’m still breastfeeding so I will start with a more active life and good healthy food and will go along from there.

I’ve lost over 3 pounds so far and I’m already seeing results.

I have two new goals to get in shape:

1. Complete a detox
2. Become a runner

The first one seems feasible, but I hated running as a kid, so I don’t know how well the second will work out. I think a runner’s physique is amazing though, so hopefully running is an acquired skill.

So I have been working on this goal for a while. I haven’t really set any specific goals for myself over the past several months, which is something I don’t normally do. I’ve had ACL surgery recently and so have not been able to work out which is AWFUL. Once you are used to running or working out everyday, not doing anything is torture. So I was very concerned I was going to gain weight over these last several months so I have been closely watching what I eat. I’ve been eating incredibly healthy and working out as much as is allowed for me.

Anyway I didn’t notice until someone whom I had not seen for a while mentioned something to me, but I’ve lost weight. A LOT of weight. Now granted part of that is muscle, because of lack of exercise. But I’ve lost a lot of fat. I checked the scale the other day and I’ve lost about 10 pounds.

I had no idea how incredibly important eating right was. Even though I didn’t work out I had all of this energy all the time, because I was eating healthy foods.

My advice. Eat healthy foods, and push yourself.

Went for a jog today as well. Did a little more today. Was tired as hell by the end but figure I need to keep trying harder and push myself further

With 8 weeks left of summer, I joined a gym and am finally getting my butt in to shape. I go every other day and workout, plus 2-3 pilates classes a week.
just need to work on my diet…having a sweet tooth doesn’t help.
