I don't really like calling it Summer Diet Round 2, as it sounds like Summer Diet Round 1 (last year) was a failure. I lost 16 pounds, dammit! And as of today I'm 2 pounds over that. I came home from a holiday of CONSTANT FOOD (and no exercise) and fully expected to be about 10 stone, but luckily Ricky came up trumps - I'm 9 stone 4, which isn't bad considering I expected to be so much fatter. It'll be a good starting post.I saw in Cosmo some Tracy Anderson exercises, and I'm focusing on the ab ones. It's for a 14 day bikini boot camp, but I'm making this long term. Supposedly gives you abs like J Lo. Mannn, they're hard! I did 20 reps yesterday and this morning my abs HURT. Which is a good sign!
My holiday was nice and fun. I fell asleep sunbathing and now I am TANNED. I don't promote that technique, mind. I was a bit red too at first.
I've been watching So You Think You Can Dance and it's inspiration to get abs, as one of the women on it was quite big (well, for a dancer's standard) at the start but she got BUFF by the end. Ok, she was training like hell 7 days a week, but she still did it! Makes me want to be a better dancer too. But everything does.
I'm at this weird state at the moment, where I don't really know what I'm doing. I could be sorting out paperwork, I could be revising for my exam in August, I could be reading books and preparing for my next academic year, I could start choreographing, I could write, I could be exercising right now. But weirdly, all I want to do is play a video game. You know, the kinda stuff you get on the Wii?
A couple of summers ago I got completely addicted to a Legend of Zelda game on the Wii. My sister's boyfriend left it at our house all summer (we don't own any kind of games console) and I got really addicted to this game. Can't remember what it was called... Princess of something? It was a really cool game, where half of the time you were a bloke (that blonde guy, whassisname, Link?) and the other half of the time he was turned into a wolf, so you had to be a wolf. Ahh, I'd do anything to get that game back now. I was so into it, though I had to have the online walk-through up most of the time. Legend of Zelda can be a bit of a puzzle. It probably wouldn't be the same, playing it now, but it was awesome.
Leave you here... will keep you updated on my SDR2 progress! Oh yes, it gets its own acronym.

OMG ZELDA!!! I'm such a huge fan of Zelda- when I get a wii, I'm totally buying Twilight Princess! When Iw as younger and I had Zelda on the Nintendo 64- I would sit and play that game for hours a day. Over Christmas holidays when I still had my Gamecube (I've sold it since because I needed the money), I had Windwaker and played that for hours a day for a week until I beat the game. Now, every time I play a video game, I compare it to Zelda and so far, no other video game has lived up Zelda. Sorry, nerd moment :)
ReplyDeleteYou can make you SD2 awesome, I know you can!

glad to hear from you :D My summer aspirations are abs as well, but in my case I think it's going to be a lot more about getting rid of the fat on top of the abs and letting them show. I tried the p90x abs ripper he other night, it was a pretty intense workout! Anyways, let me know what works for you and I'd love to try it. I've got to keep mixing up my workouts, I know that at least.
ReplyDeleteahh abs... they are so elusive! I have strong abs (from 7 years of sucking in my stomach), but alas, they are buried underneath all of my belly fat! haha but I know they are just waiting to be seen! and so I keep working. but OMG I am so awful at video games, I mean truly, I can't even go straight when I play mariokart racing! haha it's awful :D good luck and keep us posted, RaeLynn
