My Fitness Thread . . .

James · #1 01-10-2003, 08:01 AM

So this girl I know walks up to me the other day, pats me on the stomache and goes, "wow, I haven't seen you ina while, you really got fat!"

LOL. And I have really gotten out of shape compared to my "normal." I got into a couple pretty nasty car accidents and since then I have pretty much deteriorated.

However! I have just put the down payment on a Canuun Trip for Spring break!

This forces me to do something about my shape or else face the utter embarrassment of being extremely out of shape in the Meat Market Capital of the College World.

So, if there is an interest I will continually post my fitness updates on this thread for the next ten weeks.

I have a great deal of knowledge about these topics compared to the average person so it might be interested to get a peek inside my head and see how other people might approach this problem.

Keep in mind that knowledge doesn't translate into self-will lol.

Is there any interest?

You can do anything you put your mind to, James! I'll be reading & posting for support and advice. Good luck!

P.S. That was kind of rude of that girl.....what would she do if someone told her she was getting fat??!!!

Post away. Hopefully it'll help keep me motivated too. It's easier to get all buff when you know other people are going through the same thing.

Someone did a similar thing to my sister. She patted my sister's belly and asked, "When is the baby due?" At the time my sister was 16!

How rude!

James good luck. I'm on day #3 od my diet and I think that it is working. I hope it's working.

Dance IS an acceptable form of excercise you know...

Peaches-n-Cream · #9 01-13-2003, 01:51 AM

Dance is a great form of exercise. When I took ballet in college, I had my thinnest semester.

Maybe I should do it again.

*cream and luablanca laugh at the thought of james in pointe shoes and a tutu*

Holy crap it is! I just got home from Monday night jazz ( I dance three times a week) and I think I'm going to die. My teacher worked us sooooo hard tonight!

And yes, the thought of James in a pink tutu and tights is truly disturbing

James, keep us posted about your progress! I think it'll keep us all motivated.

Since classes started back this week, I'm going to to go to the gym Tues and Thurs. Another reason I'm going to the gym is to get ready for formals. I just want to look great I have the perfect dress. I'm by no means fat but I just want to tone up everything thing. I have a really fast metabolism so I have to eat all the time or I get really hungry.

AOX81 · #13 01-14-2003, 11:44 AM

Drink lots of water!!

Optimist Prime · #14 01-14-2003, 03:26 PM

I have to work for health class so I will post stuff here too.

You know what will get you into shape is Irish step dancing. Now that is a great workout. You will just have to lift weights for your arms. I love Irish dance.
