Yeah, the self confidence thing is true... because I haven't gone recently recently I feel a little deflated. But I just have to look past that! It's okay being alone... kinda nice and yet a little lonely. No one inside the gym to monitor as per say but every so often a security guard mills by. Not that I feel they'd notice me if I was dead on the floor... but you can hope! Haha! That's too bad you can't got headphoneless... There's also no music in the gym here. That in itself is a little creepy actually. Cue the horror movie! My iPhones good ^^ Lately I've been browsing the net with it. And that's speedy. Music is good to listen to. But as I have the 16Gb it's just a couple of hundred songs. Heck maybe 1000.. there's alot on there actually... *checks* 956 and there is still LOADS of room left. I also have a couple of AMV's I made on there too and a movie... so despite me thinking it would be too small I was wrong!
Self-confidence alone is a good reason to stick to a routine... must do. Isn't being alone at a gym sort of creepy? Doesn't anyone even monitor the place?! Hearing the screeching sound of the treadmill and the faint sound of music echoing across the walls would be scarrryyy. Though the gym I go to is always (too) full, so I'm not really used to the idea. I've been there at midnight and sometimes there are still people there. >.> I use the iPod Shuffle I have whenever I'm doing cardio. Gets me all pumped up! Even if it was possible to go headphoneless with it I'd need them though, since there are always people in there and the gym has its own music blaring. >_> Plus I have tastes I'd rather not have other people hear. *cough* How's your iPhone?! I've been hesitant on getting one for no reason... I really want that extra push. Then I too can be trendy! And WHAT slogan?!?!
Haha I know what you mean! >_> Like Smacks... I could nibble on them non stop... just so sweet and addictive. Little puffs of addiction waiting to live on your hips *le sigh* xD Awww I hate it when a routine is broken.. I need to get back into mine. Tomorrow I"m forcing myself back into the gym. Just so I can feel better about myself x3. I mean I don't eat much and nothing that bad... so I figure I shall maintain with some work. It's fun though as no one else goes to the gym xD So I'm all alone. I just crank up my iPhone no headphones and sing along in a loud and out of tune voice. Just as well no one sees or hears... Haha that should become a slogan... x3 It's just catchy.. and whizzing round my head *.*
Shakes are pretty filling. :O if you sit down with a bag of cereal you could end up going through the whole thing by the end of the day and blow up like a balloon by next morning. Delicious, delicious animal feed. I skipped my exercise yesterday followed by my dad dragging me out to eat. No doubt I screwed something up, ha. The excuse was "lack of time." Yeah right. ;_; But, if you're losing sizes in measurements then you're probably doing it right. Still it's hard to tell. Usually when you lose fat you lose muscle, and when you gain muscle you gain a bit of fat... ahhh. Just don't Shake it up too much or you'll crash and devour your whole house. Snaaccckkk... need to eat. So sweet.
I never have success on the Special K diet... I'm better on the Slim Fast regime. I don't know why but shakes are much easier than cereal nibbling as it can be too tempting at times... Haha yeah I want to lose weight... after 2 weeks of strict work outs I gained weight - which I'm hoping is just muscle. I won't give up @_@ But if I transform into the Hulk in the process I may reconsider ^~ Trying to fit in exercise is hard... there's always some excuse... or no time to do it... I think there's an ani-excercise fairy sometimes . Ooo those snacks sound tasty... *Steals them* =O
lol, I actually just ate some Special K (with dried strawberries). I don't know how people could survive on that diet though. Replace two meals with Special K... but a serving is so amazingly tiny! And nearly no milk! Balancing protein and carbs is difficult when you're going to the gym AND trying to lose weight. Some people just want to lose weight, but then other people say you should gain muscle and lose fat later. Right now I'm taking in about 2000 calories a day and aiming for exercise 5 days a week... but that rarely happens. ;_; Like yesterday I decided it was a good idea to waddle into a Japanese sweets shop and buy some interesting powdered green tea gelatin snack. I have a OBLIGATION to finish it.
I can assure you you would not be dreaming nor delirious. Rest assured I would find a way to prove to you that you were awake in the real world ^~. After all, where there is a will there is a way. The protein shake sounds pretty nice to be honest... And as I've started to go to the gym perhaps I should be focusing more on my proteins - but hey it's only normal for me to screw up a diet so why ruin a long running tradition? As for cereal... LETS GO ON THE SPECIAL K DIET!!! <33333 XD
Even if you are able to resuscitate me, how do I know that I am not just dreaming? A world where cookies are just "sometimes food" to the Cookie Monster is just too surreal to be real! Smoothie diet. >___> You're probably craving meat and breads right now. Plus the fiber can make your stomach hurt so bad. I drink protein shakes after workout... and it tastes pretty good and fills you up. Usually it's whey protein, oats, peanuts, and banana blended together. But then there are those times where I just want to chomp down on some delicious cereeaallll even if it's not so good for dieting.
Ha! You shall not remain unconcious if I can help it The amazing powers of Kilala defy all of mankind and alien existence. There is no escape. I r teh Huggle-MONSTER and am best friends with the Cookie-Monster.... ^~ A protein bar? BLEGH! Thats evil... I'm trying to go on this smoothie diet - but I'm so fed up with fruit... it's like... FRUIT EVERYWHERE. RUN. <_<
If there were a shounen anime, I would faint having suffered your merciless huggle and have some realization of what I am lacking and suddenly become a glomp master. But instead I'll just stay unconscious. =P I had a protein bar! I need to eat some real food though. Like eggs, cottage cheese, and toast with apricot jam~
It's a great skill to master - but I believe under the right training you can reach the same heights. SOLDIER I shall teach you ^~ *The huggle/glomp which will turn you into a master* XP And tell me about it... I'm normally on a constant diet but today I'm going wild Mwhahaha <333
I can only wonder if it's actually possible to become a glomping slash huggling black belt like yourself. =P The technique necessary to sneak in for a surprise grab and a firm grip to keep the target locked in would take me years and years to master. And I wish I could have something sweet right now. Diets hurt. =|
XD! Yes, that is how it works ^~ Before you know it I'll have you as a glomping and huggling master You know you want iiiit. XD Now I've probably scared you off though *Pushes a basket of sweet treats over to redeem oneself* x3
Ditto on everything. It'd be great to talk more sometime. ...*glomp* Is that how that works? Hahaha~
First of all your post was absolutely fine! You have no need to worry :3 *Glomps* Of course I want to keep it fun too to a certain degree - just at the moment it's just so confusing with all of the mass ideas thrown in as one. Not everyone reads everything and I don't blame them as it's all a bit much with the block of words. Just at the moment I'm trying to catch up - well I'm caught up but yeah... alot happened xD. New people would have good ideas I agree but I still think at least a minimum of 100 posts would be good - because alot of people post and never come back etc etc xDxDxD It's at 200 but this could be too much. Thanks for sending the VM SOLDIER :3 *Huggles* Lets hope we sort out the forum/subforum/usergroup soon. I think once thats sorted we could really sort things out and stuff :3 Anyway I hope we talk more sometime <3
