New Exercise Program

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

I want to get my fat percentage low and then obviously replace it with some muscle, so I don’t look weak and bony. So I technically want to be more athletic and since I don’t naturally have an athletic body shape I need to work harder. I know that TV and the internet tells you that an hourglass shape is the “most desired”, I prefer the lanky, androgynous, model look. For me that is. I’m not saying you have you look like that to look good, because I actually don’t think it depends at all on your shape, whether you look good or not. There are hot skinny and curvy people in the world. I just haven’t been given a black girl’s butt to pull off the curvy look. I’m lanky, with problem areas hahaha!

New routine:

Cardio at least 4 times a week, including spin class twice a week.
I am starting kickboxing with a friend, but I think they’re on the same night as spin class so I might mix and match.
Running at least once and possibly swimming.

Then each day I’m going to focus on a body part such as: arms & chest, stomach, butt and legs.

Sunday can be a rest day haha, but I will probably spread the cardio out so I have a rest day inbetween.

This is the diet I’ve been doing for the past three months:

Water, water, water, coffee. No fizzy drinks, ugh!
Low sugar and saturated fats.
No processed shit. As raw, fresh and healthy as possible!
Plenty of protein, vegetables.
Low on carbs (since most are high in sugar, which causes cravings) apart from rye or wheat.
Not a lot of fruit either because of sugar, maybe twice a week I’ll have a portion of fruit.
Lots of veggies!

It pretty much follows the South Beach Diet and the GI diet. I like to cook things properly, rather than readymade crap. I don’t really care if it takes longer. And it isn’t that hard, btw.

I really want to do this and won’t listen to anyone giving me shit about it.

So I had my drama exam today! It went really well, I think. It helped that the examiner was so nice and we didn’t make any noticable mistakes. Actually…none I don’t think. I did stumble on my second last line on Wednesday night when we had to perform in front of the parents, but I don’t think I did in the exam =D That I can remember, anyway.

And we were actually so lucky, because we were given an improvisation (you get a prompt or theme twenty minutes before the exam to prepare) that was really similar to one we’d practiced with, so we just altered it and basically used the one we had practiced for three hours on the Sunday rehearsal.

Just for your information, we constitutes as my brother and I. I did it with him because I was a grade behind my friends (since I backed out of the Grade 5 exam last year) and didn’t want to do a monologue. I think I worked better with other people that acting by myself. I probably COULD have done some dramatic and sad scene, but… decided not to.

After swimming today, I’ve been so tired =( But I have noticed I’m getting slimmer! These weeks or exercising almost every day are finally paying off! Yay! Although I’m having to deal with my parents telling me if I get any skinnier, I’ll be invisible. It really pisses me off because I know I’m not skinny (and no I’m not one of those morons that is 10 year old girl skinny and denies it), I’m kind of slim but still classify as average. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I want to have the skinny androgynous sorta look. I LIKE that look. Then I can wear badass outfits and look GOOD =)

A lot of you are going to say I sound stupid, but whatthehell..
