 This has to be my millionth fitness and dieting journal!
Anyway ~
My weekly routine usually looks like this: cardio and aerobics 5 days a week, usually 20-40 minutes long. Yoga once a week, usually 30-60 minutes long. Meditation once a week (day of rest), usually 15-30 minutes long.
But I'm in a bit of a predicament: I'm going to the beach in 7.5 WEEKS!
So, here are my stats as of now:
Age: 20
Height: 5'3"
Starting Weight (last year): 156lbs
Current Weight: 126-128lbs (yuck at teeter-tottering)
Goal Weight for the summer: 115-120lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 110lbs
Now, I realise that weight is just a number. I set these goal weights because it is proven fact that those who set goals are 90% more successful than those who do not. So, while the goals are set, I'm not set on them. I plan to go about this with taking more into account what's in the mirror and how I feel than what I see on the scale. If my dream body happens at 120lbs, then huzzah for me, but if not, then I'll keep going until I reach it.
Weigh ins for me are usually 1-2 times a month (I used to be OCD about weighing myself, so I'm really trying hard to kick that habit of weighing myself 10-50 times a day).

 25. June 2007 I did the In Shape with Rachel Mcsomethingorother yesterday and I was absolutely sure I would be waddling in pain, today! But I'm not :] So that's a good sign! Anyway, I'm thinking I'll do something high energy today, maybe one of my YBB DVDs... or maybe boxing.
Anyway, I'm on the special K diet for, well... basically until I go to the beach! Cereal for breakfast and lunch, some fruit here and there, and a light dinner. I like cereal, so I might even have it for dinner sometimes, too x3 And I love oatmeal, so that'll play a big part in it, too.
I have another interview at TJMaxx, tomorrow... so hopefully that'll go well, I'm just hoping they'll still be interested in hiring me after I say no to more than 20 hours a week during the school semester.. but dude, school comes first.. so, yeah, crossing my fingers!

 10. July 2007 It's been so frustrating, lately.
I'm super effing glad that I was able to land a job after searching for a good 4 months. . . but, of course, they put me in the department that is short in staff (there's only one other person besides me), which means I basically work anywhere between 4-9 hours 6 out of 7 days a week.
Now, due to recent research I've done, I found that I burn about 580-1160 calories every day at work since all I do is run around cleaning and picking things up, only getting a break when someone actually wants to even just look at some jewelry. . . but still. I know I'm burning calories, but that's not the point. I don't feel like I'm doing anything, you know? I haven't gained any weight, but I feel like I have... I feel like I'm failing because the days I work I usually don't get to exercise.
Meh. I got to exercise earlier today, and I'm not finished yet. I did the first half of the Rachel McChelin weight training video, and I'm going to do the second half in about another hour or two. I also did some DDR and I think I'll top it all off with either more DDR or a light dance video.
Arg. I so badly wanted to lose at least another 5lbs before I went to the beach in August, but I don't see that happening, anymore.

14. Dezember 2007 It feels so good to look at those pictures from so long ago and see the progress that I´ve made.
Exams are finally over, so I can concentrate more on healthier things. Robert said he probably doesn´t have work this weekend, so I think I´m going to try and get him to go to the campus rec center gym with me instead of just doing my videos... it would be a nice change, and since exams are over, most people will be home which means the gym will be a ghost town. x3 So maybe I´ll do the treadmill and then swim a bit, but who knows. :] Robert´s got a bit of a gut now, so I´m sure he´ll agree to go with me. x3
115lbs, now. I wouldn´t mind -terribly- to get lower than this, but at the moment, I´m just looking to tone up (gain more muscle over fat mass) and maintain.
Also, my dad said that he doesn´t care that it costs $20 for a guest pass at the gym each day. He said he´d go with me if I wanted to, but I´m not sure... it being the time of year that it is, this is when people actually go to the gym and I´m sure it´ll be packed... but that´s okay, maybe I´ll focus more on weight training and stuff and then just go on walks with Robert.
Rar.

17. Dezember 2007 Robert didn´t go to the gym with me, and I ended up being sick, so I didn´t work out at all over the weekend. I mean, I played some DDR yesterday on difficult mode, but it wasn´t much more than 15-20 minutes... but I guess it´s better than having done nothing, ja? :] I´m just getting kind of frustrated with Robert because he really needs to get back in shape, and even he´s frustrated with it... but I can´t get him to work out. ToT And we´ll be even more swamped next semester than we were this semester, so I think I´m going to start doing yoga and weight training more and invite him to do it with me, since those really are the only two things out of the millions I do that I´m not embarrassed to do with him. x3 Plus I´m thinking about buying a used treadmill from Play it Again Sports, and I know he´ll use that... I´m just hoping they have one that´s under $300.
Anyway, lol, my pants are SAGGING on me. My butt looks really bad in my size 7s because there´s just too much room in the pant legs. Everything´s kinda chaffing, too. ToT My sister´s getting really mad at me, though, and it´s kinda funny... she doesn´t like it when I´m more successful at things than her (meeting weight loss goals, German, -etc-), so the fact that she was doing better than me at first but then I totally surpassed her.. she´s cheesed. x3 Not that we were holding a competition or anything... but I´ve always been a bit bigger than her, so now that I´m smaller and yet still more muscular and stronger, she´s admitted her jealousy and has attempted to punch me many times. Not in a "Imma kill y00, BISH!" way, but in a more "you effing SUCK" way.
:]
I feel pretty glorious, right now.
