the CHALLENGE!

posted by [personal profile] kyabetsu at 01:42pm on 05/06/2007 under , ,
i've gone to the gym two days in a row now. I feel sore in some spots, but GOOD. about myself and about the endorphins that love me so. I will definitely go tomorrow. The question is whether or not i'll manage this next week. and the week after. and the week after.......


i have a harder time doing something consistently if i have to skip days between.


gonna post to [livejournal.com profile] honest_eats... b/c i've neglected it for too long. Hang on, GW! You're not alone!

Sounds like you need a goal... personally i love training for kickboxing competitions and runs, just make sure you dont over do the training or that will put you off ;)

Oh and by the way if your doing weight lifting i recommend only doing it once a week it gives your muscles plenty of time to recover and go through the anabolic process also consider the hyper adaptive cycle.

thank you, complete stranger! i will keep both of your suggestions in mind, but really, i'm not a competitive sports-person... kick-boxing is right out. Running though, I could come to love that.

and promise i'll go easy on the weight-lifting. Pulled muscles are not my cup of tea.

LOL!
I think I'll be doing well if I can keep up my goal of walking in the mornings. My trashed knee is no closer to getting surgery than it was a year ago. I have *got* to get back to the gym; I have sort of a sick love for those weight machines ::cough:: but man, my time is so squeeeeeezed!

But anyway-- Yay Kya!!

you know, if i could actually STICK WITH the walking? I'd be thrilled to do that. but i'm woefully lousy at sticking with anything casual. It's too easy to brush off.



...the trashed knee does make me wonder if maybe you oughtn't take a page from [livejournal.com profile] loolaa's book and try swimming, mayhaps?

You gotta love the gym stuffs. Working out is always stimulating! I should start again...

well, i USED to love gym-stuff. then i got out of shape. Poor diet, poor exercise--a serious neglect case. forget the freshmen 15. try the 'freshmen 50.' ...spread out over a number of years, but you get the idea.


so now? there's this huuuuuuuuuge span of time at the beginning of 'getting back into shape' that's gonna suck balls. the part where i pant and feel awkward and achey and foolish. Where i avoid making eye-contact with the folks who use the gym to SCULPT their bodies rather than hammer away at chunks of it in the hopes that some significant part cracks and falls off.

I know that things could always be worse. It could be 20 years from now and i'd STILL not started hunting for that "thin person" that's hiding inside of me... (i know exactly where she is, she's right down the middle, hording the chocolate i ate during easter. Bitch won't let it go.)



eh. i'm excited at this point b/c i'm going and it doesn't suck. Until i've got a genuine HABIT going though, the fear that i'll mess up and have to start over AGAIN is gonna linger. :/



oh well. bed time. going to the gym tomorrow, you know. ;)

Heh, yeah I get that. I've weighed the same 120 lbs since the SEVENTH GRADE (I know, I'm a bitch) but I used to be nice and toned. Then I stopped going outside and being athletic. I miss my somewhat muscular figure...the rock hard abs especially. I was so proud of those. I should go look for them.

We should both go out and get our bodies back!

ha ha ha. wow.

let's see.... (and my RL friends are prolly tired of hearing me say this) but when i was in HIGH SCHOOL!

I was 5'3"... weighed 115... and could bench press 85 lbs.

Now i'm still 5'3" and i'd be hard-pressed to do anything with a bench but sit.


So, yes indeed! let the body-hunt begin!

LOL at least there was a time you could bench press anything. All my strength is in my legs.
