I'll probably post on a tablet since I will not be bringing my laptop with me.

Welcome to the thread!
Good luck on your goals and please don't over do it. Make sure you are in your comfort zone. Something is better than nothing so please don't hurt yourself in the process. Listen to your body smile

Sorry it took long to welcome you, I've been prepping the family for our cross country flight.

Hi guys! It's Herfstkleur, but this is my main account 4laugh

Sorry I haven't been on for so long, I find it really difficult to keep up with Gaia while I'm still adjusting to working life as a teacher. But I'm now on my Christmas break, so yay!
I haven't been doing to well lately foodwise; I think I even gained some weight. I recently switched birth control methods, and I think that has a lot to do with things.
But I'm trying to keep up with small workouts and do my best not to let the holidays get the better of me with food.

I'll try to do better next year as well xp

Hi everyone! I just noticed that the thread is ending today this year?!
Sorry for the last minute post! I actually joined this thread months ago as Giigiii, but I was finally able to deactivate this account, so here I am!

Fitness goal for 2015: Lose body fat, increase muscle mass.

Condition: I have sciatica pain running down my right leg. I don't know what causes it, but my theory is that is could be piriformis syndrome or just a tight IT band pinching the sciatic nerve.

Update: Currently, I'm focused on rehab exercises for my legs. I now do legs regularly, compared to before. I was running for almost 3 miles during the summer, but now I do my cardio on the recumbent bike. I've also discovered the benefits of the foam roller... I don't know what I'd do without it!

Food: I think I decreased my caloric intake. Definitely no fast food, and I avoid prepackaged foods as much as possible. I'm too lazy to count calories though so...

Finally, I wish everyone a happy holiday and New Year!

n.n !!! Whaaaaa, it's good to see you back ! cx
How's it like, being a teacher? Sounds like a very busy job indeed.
Can relate--
I switched BCs & the waistline and boobage expanded. gonk Working on trying to get back to my former brand by my next appointment !
I really hope to see you here more often, especially next year ! c:

emotion_kirakira Welcome back !!~ It's so good to see you again !
I'm so sorry to hear about your leg, but I'm happy to see that you've found workouts that work for you.
The thread does technically end today for the year, but you're more than welcome to post if you'd like. x3 I'm just going to use the next couple of week to change the first page of posts and get things situated for the next challenge.
I hope to see you a lot more coming up ! heart

[tokyoyoyo]

Well guise, it's the last day ! Of course, that only means the last day as far as prizes & point counts go. You're more than welcome to continue to post, but I wanna see you all prepped & ready to kick 2015 in the face ! xD No matter what your goals are, or how long you've been away, it's never too late to start again.

For a final just-because weekly challenge, do this :

Evaluate your progress over the year, whatever date you started. What is your progress? What could you have done differently if you fell off the wagon? What new things do you anticipate trying next year?

I'll be finishing the final touches on the front page posts during break, and on the first I hope to see you here ! c: Let's make a goal, do the work, do our best, and encourage all of those around us. n.n

Happy holidays !~ & may you all have a wonderful new year.

It's good to be back! blaugh

Being a teacher is a very busy job! You're never really done, although I don't let that bother me too much after I go home, except when I have to check/grade things. And dear lord, when it's time for holidays, the students go absolutely bonkers gonk
So glad I have two whole weeks off now!

I think the waistline may be expending because of the BC, because I now have PMS cravings again (>.< wink ; I can't switch to my previous BC, because I suffered pretty badly from side effects, so I'll just have to take the cravings into my stride. Hopefully, I can just make healthy versions of my cravings next year (aside from the chocolate, of course).

And I am planning to stick around more next year, I really want to lose some weight and get into shape more![/color[
