So, gonna talk about my real life a little bit now.
I have this goal, see? I'm planning on dropping a few pounds of excess fatty fat and building up some muscles without the aid of a reality tv show. I know, sounds crazy. But! Um...crazy is...as crazy does? Well, anyways I'm going to try it. Have already made some progress too. 3nodding
This entry is to make note of said progress and help keep me motivated.
Since I first decided to start losing fat:
I quit drinking soda (almost entirely) and now drink water instead.
Instead of only being able to lift 1-2 pound weights, I now use 5 pound weights and occasionally a 10 pound weight (12 pounds if you count the metal bar) for my arm exercises.
Instead of only doing cardio for 20-30 minutes, I now go for 1-2 hours.
I've developed some muscles in my arms.
I've lost roughly 10 pounds so far and have kept it off.
My approach thus far has been rather laid back but, this past week I've really started to kick things up. I now try to work out every day instead of just a few times a week (which I failed to do many times). I intend to keep up with this and make it a routine and I expect to make a lot more progress in the next few months.
Edit (April 17, 2011):
Every day is a bit too much for me but, I have been working out several times a week without skipping whole weeks.
My current workouts generally include 50 squats, 50 reps on my arms, 100 crunches, and at least 20 minutes of cardio.
This past week I've also started attempting to switch from the 5 pound weights I normally use to the 10 pound weights.
Current weight fluctuates between 118-120 pounds.
All in all, not too shabby. cool
