JULY 2011 FITNESS UPDATE

In the spirit of Eliza's blog/webspace, "Betty Krypton", I decided to blog a little bog on my fitness info and blabber.

AS OF JULY 12 2011
AGE - 29
HEIGHT - 5'4
STARTED OUT - 130
AFTER QUITTING WAS - 180
CURRENTLY - 134

ROUTINE INCLUDES VARIOUS DVDS, INCLUDING SELF MAGAZINES VIDEO WORKOUT SERIES, AND P90X. ALSO STRENGTH TRAINING/TONING ON OCCASION. (PROBABLY SHOULD INCREASE THAT.)

CURRENTLY ONLY 3 OR 4 DAYS A WEEK DO I BURN 300-500 CALS DOING WORKOUTS AND ETC. JACOBS OFF DAYS I DON'T WORK OUT (DON'T LIKE DOING IT IN FRONT OF HIM) SO IF WE GO PLACES MY ONLY EXERCISE IS "WALKING/SHOPPING". (AND LOVINS EVERYDAY GIVES ME CARDIO TOO, EVEN ON OFF DAYS. ESP ON OFF DAYS.)

I CURRENTLY TRY TO MAINTAIN A CALORIE DEFICIT OF 300 MINIMUM, 500 AVERAGE. BUT IF ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK I EAT MAINTANCE CALS ITS NO BIGGY.

CURRENTLY AREAS THAT REQUIRE WORK: ARMS, TUMMY, GLUTES (STILL), BACK, AND LEGS. MOSTLY ARMS GLUTES AND TUMMY. I DON'T WORK TUMMY MUCH BECAUSE AS I LOSE LBS IT GETS FLATTER. THOUGH MY DR ENCOURAGED ME TO STRENGTHEN IT TO HELP SUPPORT MY BACK.

AREAS THAT HAVE IMPROVED GREATLY: TUMMY, GLUTES, THIGHS, CALVES, NECK, ARMS, BACK - BIG TIME.

INTRESTS FOR WORKING OUT INCLUDE KICKBOXING, YOGA, AND ZUMBA/DANCE. I ALSO AM INTESTED IN ROLLERBLADING, HIKING, KYACKING, INTERVAL TRAINING, SWIMMING, AND VARIOUS RECREATIONAL ACTIVITES THAT I DO NOT GET TO OR OFTEN GET TO DO AT THE MOMENT. BUT WOULD LIKE TO.

AIMING TO BE IN MY HIGH SCHOOL HEALTHY & TRIM WEIGHT RANGE YET BEING TONED ENOUGH TO FIGHT OFF AGING, GRAVITY AND KEEP JIGGLE AT BAY.

I'M NOT INTO THE "ALIEN" NOODLE THIN BODY THAT SCREAMS "I NEVER EAT". NOR THE CURRENT "MARATHONER" BODY TREND. I LIKE WELL TONED CURVEY BODYS. NOT TO TONED ITS SWOLLEN UP WITH MUSCLE, NOT TO CURVEY IT JIGGLES. THINK LINGERIE MODEL OR PLAYBOY BUNNY. MINUS THE BOOB JOB (FOR NOW, I'M STILL TRYING TO TALK JACOB INTO LETTING ME GET ONE EVENTULLY). OR EVEN SILVER SCREEN SIRENS.

THE BEST ME I CAN BE. AND ABLE TO HANDLE ANYTHING HEALTH WISE.

CURRENT DIET TREND IS A MIX. CALORIE COUNTING, BLOOD TYPE DIET AND LOW GLUTEN/GLUTEN FREE. I NEED TO TRY TO ADD LOW SUGAR AND LOW FAT HIGH PROTIEN INTO THE MIX.
-----------------------------------------

Boring stuff I guess, to others. But I am the kinda person who needs to re-remind myself often of my plan and reorganize my options or goals. I like the idea of having it down in front of me.

I need to work on some things. like daily burning, not 3 times a week. and more weights/toning. plus watching my sugar and fat intake. and new active hobbies. will try to work on.
