hey sexy ladies.
i feel like i have accomplished a lot within the last year and a half.. but over the last couple of months things haven't really been getting any better (or any worse!) and so, i feel like it's time to step it up another notch.
first semester: diet. second semester: cardio and muscle building
my diet has always been a little iffy. going from eating like an enraged cookie monster to eating like a overly-picky vegetarian who is afraid of cooties. i use to worry a lot about over eating... now i am starting to worry about under eating. i know that not eating enough can have terrible side effects and can cause damage to the metabolism, which is the last thing i want... so, i'm currently looking for more foods to add to my diet that i feel good about.
i signed up ($$$) for bikram hot yoga. i'm going to try to go at least 5 days per week. it's 90 minutes long and i sweat like a pig and give it everything i've got. this is (sort of) a new addition to my routine.. which is (lol - sad) running/walking and ab-ripper X. i want to start going to the gym again. this is where i really need help. since i moved, i miss my old gym... but... tobad, right? when i went to the gym, i would usually just do cardio, now i do that outdoors. what i want to start doing is lifting weight and strengthening.... this is a whole new thing to me. soooo what do you ladies recommend i do at the gym to really form, tighten, tone, whatever you want to call it, this frightening bland body of mine?? i want to be thin, and feminine, and all that, but, i also want my body to have some personality, know what i mean? i need something to work on. i really just need to keep on improving. i'm upping my standards. and i'm willing to do whatever it takes.
