Day 2

Fail. No exercise. Just worked. :(

Day 3

I did not work out on the elliptical, but I walked around shopping for hours. That should be a good enough exercise for today, right?

Day 4

I intended to work out today after work, but I went out with some friends to watch the last Harry Potter movie. I had a sandwich from Subways, which was better than some other fast food places.  Let's hope I can stick to the plan tomorrow >.< only 3 more days left!!!!!

Day 7 and 6

Day 7: I did not do anything on that day either.  I volunteered for four hours at a hospital, and they made me clean up vomit. I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the job description, but the nurses did seem to need the help. Although after I finished with my shift, I just wanted to take a shower, so no exercise that day.

Day 6: After two days of no exercise, I needed to go back on the elliptical before the laziness kicks in again.  Like three days ago, I put the intensity to the maximum for 30 minutes.  Although I wasn't going at a fast pace, I still sweat a lot :)

Day 10 and 9

Day 10: Kept up with the plan. I did the elliptical for 30 min.  I lifted for a little while to just tone my flabby arms.  After that, I went to the sauna. Pretty good workout :)
Day 9: I forgot my iPod, so I knew I wasn't able to be on the elliptical at a constant pace that I usually go at. Instead, I was on the elliptical with the highest intensity for 30 minutes, with 5 minutes of cool down.  No sauna for today.

BTW, my mother claims to see some progress! YAY :)

Day 14

This was yesterday, but I was too tired to write.  I went on the elliptical for 30 min. I didn't do much since I was standing and moving around for 4 hours for my volunteer shift.  I felt good about not giving up to take a break :)

14 days left

So I only have 14 days left to work out till beach day. Two days ago, I was on the elliptical for 30 min. I lifted very little to tone my arms.  Then, I went to the sauna for about 20 minutes.  I haven't sweat that much in a LONG time, so of course, it felt really good to work out :)
Yesterday, I went to the park with my family.  My parents were timing my brother to get him conditioned for football, and I just jogged around the park.  I have no idea how long I ran for, but I was dressed in sweat pants and a hoodie.  The reason for this attire: the sun. I may not have run as much, but it sure made me sweat like crazy. After the jog, I did some stairs, then decided to race my brother.  Although I lost to him, I feel like I didn't do too bad considering I haven't actually exercised vigorously since two years ago.
Let's see if I can keep this up for beach day!

Not Too Good

So yesterday, I thought it would be a good idea to get two birds with one stone by cleaning up my room and getting an exercise. I'm pretty sure it was a good "workout"

Progress!

So, I was going to post a few days ago to write about my progress, but the site was down.
Glad it's fine now :)

Anyway, so my initial start weight was 151.5 lbs (68.7 kg). For the first day, I only did 10 regular push-ups. I know it's not much, but when I realized I needed to exercise, I couldn't go to the gym. Secondly, those 10 push-ups were actually difficult. Oh boy, that means I am really out of shape.

Day 2- Weight: 151.5 lbs (68.7 kg) I went to the gym. 15 min of stationary bicycle for warm up. 30 min on the elliptical, then cool down. Some stretches, and a bit on ab workout.

Day 3 (Today)- Weight: 150.0 lbs (68.0 kg) I haven't done anything yet, but I'll update it as soon as possible

From what I can see, it's probably just the water weight that I lost.  However, I actually felt pretty awesome after my workout on Day 2!

Guess I'll work out now so I can update you guys on Day 3 :)

Change of Plans

So I have been busy for a bit, but I did come up with a few ideas for this blog.  I noticed that it is difficult to just post food or about food, so I came up with a "brilliant" plan to add some other random stuff...

First, I noticed that I have been out of shape (since I haven't exercised in a LONG time), and I just feel jiggly. I am not sure if it's a good idea to post pictures so I'll see the progress. We shall see.

Second, I like alternative/rock music, so there will be YouTube clips of songs periodically.

Lastly, I'll come up with more ideas when it hits me.
