Body in motion

[beelikej]

Fair warning: I may spam you with posts today. The second week of my summervacation has begun and in order to fight the depression that's looming from feeling rather useless, I've decided to not linger on thoughts but to get them out as they pop up;)

This morning I slept in for the first time during this vacation. I did get up around 8.45 to watch the news, but I was still snoozing on the couch, so after catching up with the world, I crawled back into my cozy, warm bed and relaxed for another hour and a half, go me!

When I got up for real I figured to not only acknowledge that I am currently not happy with my body but to also take action. I'm tired of not being able to bend properly and I'm tired of being sad when I have to deal with clothes. So I took a deep breath and got out my old workout video from Gilad Janklowicz and did the whole 30 minutes of floorwork. I wasn't able to do all the exercises fully and had to do normal time when Gilad did double time, but I did finish the whole workout, so yay! I plan to keep it up every day and encourage you to ask me about it, as a reminder:)

Today I want to make a start on the cleaning out of the spare-room, but before I can do that I need to go back to the store to change the storage boxes I bought; the size is right, but the lids have the wrong colour, which has been bugging me all weekend. Ugh, the stupid little things I let get to me. *frowny face*

Yay for you on starting on exercising. \o/ It's hard to take that first step, but now that you've done it, you can keep going! I know you can. *hugs*

It's funny how something little can bother us and it won't let go until we make it right. LOL I totally get where you're coming from there.

I'm proud of myself, and even if I may have cursed at Gilad for a bit ("Did I say four more? I meant eight!" Bastard) I felt very accomplished when I made it to the end:)

Am now waiting for the rain to stop so I can go out and get new lids for my boxes...

Oh please - tell me how good you have been when I am sitting her cursing myself for having some of the same thoughts! I regret already! I wanted to give Amaya some good habits, and well - summer vacation has really been vacation (read: lots of candy and soda, and not so much moving our bodies). So I promised Amaya that if we both were good and have candy and soda just on saturdays, then - after a month - she can pick a film for us to watch at the cinema. One day in - first day w/o coca cola - and I regret it fiersly.
I am of course not talking diet when it comes to her - but eventually that is my goal for myself - but I like to try to give her good habits so that maybe, some day, she won't find herself where I am now, with 40kg to lose.

So you better keep that body moving - because if I shall suffer, you better suffer with me! ;-)

No regrets allowed! Because you're doing a good thing (although it's totally okay to feel a bit sorry for ourselves;)

I'm determined to get into the habit during my vacation: this will bring some sort of regular rhythm to these days and I'm hoping to think of a way to implement the exercise regime into my normal schedule. We'll see. Full of good intentions and all that.

WE CAN DO THIS. WE'LL SUFFER TOGETHER!

go us!!!

I have now filled up my refrigirator with healty stuff.

I am currently baking "lunch muffins" which is rolls (50% fine flur 50% whole grain) with cheese and ham. This is an experiment to see if I can make food that Amaya will eat at lunch (my guess is that she will maybe eat it if it is baked in muffin cups :-)

I actually threw out candy worth of a lot of money yesterday. I can't have it in my house if I shall try to be good.

I'd raise my arms triumphantly, but my muscles would protest;)
