Photo post number two

  • Bust - 34 inches
  • Waist - 31.5 inches
  • Hips - 38 inches
  • Thigh - 21 inches
  • Upper arm - 12 inches
  • Weight - 11.11st
Well, second photo blogpost means I've put on weight, but lost inches. Personally, I can also see a difference in my tummy, in the side profile picture. Thing is, I can fluctuate by about half a stone overnight. I always have done. Lord knows how, but I do! Which means that I have to take more stock in my measurements and visual factors, than my actual weight.
We all know that weight can change for a billion reasons so I'm not too bothered about that difference.
I've started a new morning routine too, it consists of:
  • 10 press-ups
  • 20 squats
  • 30 lunges
  • 50 sec wall-sit
  • 90 sec star jumps
And then do it in reverse. It hurts, and is actually harder than it looks. For me anyways. But I'm going to keep at it. I started it yesterday, and can only do it up to where I've listed there, I can't do it the way back down. But hopefully in a weeks time, that will have changed.
I'm really quite into the fitness side of my work now. I read up on a lot of different 'tactics' and types of exercise. If I had unlimited money, there would be so much that I want to try. Climbing, archery and roller derby to name a few. But we all know that these things cost money, so the closest I'll be getting will be on the Xbox or something! Aaaanyways, I want to give running another try. I've been given advice, and have been shown a website, which will help immensely. I've also done some research of my own and think I finally have a plan of action. My main issue is that I will have to keep my patience in check. I am not fit. I'm strong yes, but I'm not fit. I was told today, that my cycling would actually work against me running, as cycling builds up your quads but doesn't do much for your hamstrings, and vice versa with running. So it'll probably take me a little longer to get through it. I've decide that's going to be my end-of-year goal, to be able to run. Not a marathon or anything, but just a little bit. Maybe ten minutes without dying (Yes, I'm that bad!) and work it up from there.
I've spoken to my trainer today, as my workout was getting a little same-y, so she is going to write me up another, so I have a workout A and workout B, that should keep me occupied and interested.
My immediate goal is to lose a stone by my birthday, which is on the 2nd July. It sounds like a lot, but I think its easily achievable if I put the effort in.
I saw a picture the other day, it said "Want faster results? Simple. Work harder."
It's true.
P.S. Excuse my bruises.
