Congrats to all of you who are putting forth the effort to make your dreams and goals a reality.

To those of us struggling, we just have to remember that we are not only our failures. Sometimes we need to be motivated and encouraged to celebrate our sucesses no matter how small.

Today I avoided one of my favorite things. Those big mint lifesavers.

If I can ever do anything to be of support, please let me know. Always support fellow travelers.

And Lilith - I have some of those very lifesavers on my desk.

Today was super duper extremely busy, since I am leaving tomorrow morning for my study break, but I really didn't want to miss the pool, so I still went and did fewer laps.

I think it'll be harder to swim while I'm on break since I won't be doing it with my girlfriends, but I'm hoping I'll be able to find the time and the will to go anyway.

February 27 : 1 km

ok i'm gonna start doing situps/curlups whatever the hell you call them

and is this one of the best ways for toning your abs? i've decided that i'd like to start working out and getting myself in shape and i figured i start with my abs as it should be rather easy and i can do this until my wrist heals (hopefully) then i can start lifting weights and then when it warms up i begin running or something.

Going to start working on some cardio, getting way to heavy because of the sedentary nature of my winter life. Exercise in general makes me feel so good and alive once I get it in a routine I dont know why I stopped!

I have been touting the evil that is high fructose corn syrup for years and just have noticed the last couple of trips to the grocery that many many manufacturers have been quietly reverting back to sugar. I was pleasantly surprised to see the light dressings by Kraft now are back to sugar

Pure caine sugar is good stuff.

Caine sugar

I broke down and ate dinner at 4 pm today, after my workout. Bad girl.

Now I'll be famished after I'm done with class at 9:30

After getting some advice from a friend, I realized that right now my body is just too tired to be able to dive into the workouts like I would like. I haven't been able to work through the pain and weakness that my lungs send my way while I'm trying to get the work done and usually I am able to block those things out of my mind. I'm just going to work on the mental part of it for a couple of days and hopefully I'll be physically ready to hit it hard again soon.

Thank you to my "personal trainer" for pointing me in the right direction. They don't make 'em sweeter than her.

Tonight I went swimming with my sister. It was fun! I didn't have the time to do as much as I wanted though.

I've been working on getting into exercise more, real simple like.

Pushups.

I've been doing them about 3 weeks now, though not remembering everyday like I want to. Started with ten. Yeah, only ten. I can't believe how sore i was after the first couple of days. Or that I could only do ten. The last two days I have done 15.

I want to be able to do 50 without dying.

Here's what ya gotta do.

Do your pushups against stairs.

Place your feet at the bottom, and put your hands on whichever upper step is most comfortable. Because more of your body weight is supported by your feet than is during standard pushups, less stress is put on your arms. I don't know about you, but my elbows act up pretty quickly.

In this position, you'll be able to get a few more reps in which will go a lot farther in conditioning you than 10 - 20 regular pushups at a time will. Once you break 50, then add in some standard pushups and you'll find that they don't wear you out as much. If you're really into experimenting...move your hands around. Closer together works your triceps, farther apart works your chest, and each hand on a different step works your delts.

very cool...i'm using that too. i get tired of the giant rubber band thingy, nice to switch it up a bit.
