Back in 11th grade, I remember I went on this crazy exercise plan where I actually used the exercise bike 5-6 times a week, and this actually went on for about five months. I think. It was crazy, the way I was so determined. So then I gave it up, mostly because I got lazy. I did try to keep it up but I went down to 1-2 times a week and then down to nothing. The problem is making that determination to keep it up, because no matter how busy or tired I get, if I really, really wanted to do the exercise, I would make myself go because it's so soothing.
Anyway, this post means that I will try to get back on that plan. It's hard, but it's really worth it. Plus, I'm getting so fast and lazy. I can't go on diets; I love food too much. So I will have to exercise my way there. I'm secretly destroying my skin with all this junk food and late night sleeping, and I hope exercising will bring my skin back to normal. It's looking really... lumpy now.
This post is going to be a reminder to myself that I really want to get into shape, especially when it's spring and I can go running again! Yay! More torture for me... Haha. No, seriously. I want to die when I run. It's so hard to find a place with no people, no cars, and no cracks in the street to trip me. Oh, and getting myself to keep going is a nightmare. Why am I doing this again?
Right.
Mission: Hot Body
Progress: Not going so well. Must start tonight.
Dear Wendy,
ReplyDeleteWe are so alike, sometimes it scares me. lol
I'm also trying to diet/exercise right now. Unfortunately, it's not going so well. I'm just so sick of looking in the mirror and seeing my chubby face staring back at me. And it doesn't help that my jeans don't fit me anymore. And it's hard for me to cut out food- I love it too much. Since I'm unable to shop (no more retail therapy), I've been doing what they call "comfort eating". How depressing.
Have you been to a gym before Wendy? Because I tried to go the other day, and I was so overcome with nervousness/embarrassment that I just couldn't do it. I don't know, if it's abnormal or something, but I really REALLY don't like when people watch me run. And I don't like going to a gym where I recognize/know people. It's too cold to run outside and too much people too, so I don't know what to do or how to overcome this fear of the gym.
You should continue to post your exercise results here (and the same for me) since it will give you some form of motivation (I hope?).
Good luck!
Love,
Joanna
Dear Joanna;
ReplyDeleteI know what you're talking about: comfort eating is the worst. And it's so hard to cut back because your body craves the sugar and salt.
I've never been to a gym before. But I have been running outside before, and this pervert came up to me and scared me off running in public again. It's not abnormal to not want people watching you exercise. I heard that most people join gyms to look for dates, anyway.
Buy an exercise dvd and try to follow it. That's pretty much all you can do for now. If nothing else, you can laugh at how lame those videos are.
I will try to start posting my results! I'll really just say whatever exercise I did. I want to keep a food diary too, what about you? Once you see all the stuff you eat, you'll try to cut back to keep the entries shorter.
Love, Wendy. *Haha, I kept forgetting to do this on all the other comments
