Let's Get Physical!!

Listening To: Prozzak - Pretty Girls

(Yes, that's right. Prozzak. I was just in a mood for some different music so I located some of my old favorite CDs- and came across Prozzak's Saturday People. And I've been listening to it for a large portion of the day. 'Cause it's catchy... God, I'm so cool.)

Before I continue, let me say this: I've never been thin. I like my curves. Boobs, hips, bum and tummy included. But I promised myself that if I got that surgery and everything went well, I would start exercising again. Back in grade 9, I did 200 sit-ups almost every night and my stomach looked quite cool. In grade 10, I started CEC and I had to get up so early and I would just be so damn tired by the time I got home, so I gave it up. Then that summer I got sick and I lost a lot of weight because I was throwing up so much.

(For the record, during this time I did get thinner than I've ever been. I couldn't even enjoy it because I was so sick. A few months ago I saw a picture of myself from my seventeenth birthday. Yes, I was thin... but I looked disgusting. I was pale and my arms were all thin and gross. I hated how I looked. I would rather be curvy and a little overweight than look like that again. I'm sure there are people out there who would rather be thin and gross- but it's just not me.)

But then I was put on Immuran and I put back on all that weight, plus more. I'm still pro-curves and I'm generally okay with how I look (except when I'm trying on clothes in a store... but that's normal, right?) but I want to be healthy. I'd like to eat better: choose better foods and cut back on junk food. I'd like to start working out again too.

For the past 2 nights, I've done 25 sit-ups... and it hurt. Doing 200 used to be so easy for me!! Dammit. But it'll get easier eventually. Then I'll add more as I continue. I should really make a chart for myself, or else I'll start skipping my exercises. See, if I have a chart to check off every time I exercise, it'll make me feel guilty if I skip a day. I'm weird like that.

I found some articles at Bella Online about Beginners Fitness, so I'll probably read some of those and try some things out.

And then I'll get around to doing those 25 sit-ups...
