I went to the gym today. Yes, it was hard – I haven’t really done any exercise since I left university in December last year – and even though I wanted to stop after 15 mins (cross trainer), I didn’t quit until I could read the lovely numbers of 30.
True, my legs were a bit shaky when I walked to the changing room, but it also felt really good. I have made a timetable for my workouts, it is as follows:
- Monday: Gym (30 mins cross trainer + 20-30 mins treadmill)
- Tuesday: Body sculpt
- Wednesday: Yoga
- Thursday: Swimming
- Friday: Kettlebells
- Saturday: Zumba
Sunday I will rest, maybe go for a walk if I feel like it. I have started a workout book; there I will try to remember to write down what I eat, how my body changes and how I feel. I’ve always kept a journal, so this shouldn’t be too hard, I hope.
See, I love swimming, it’s just that there is so much work behind getting ready for the pool. At least for girls.
I don’t like wearing any kind of bathing suit and definitely not a bikini. Before jumping in the pool and getting a good exercise, you have to make sure you don’t display too much body hair.
Ergo, the day before you have to shave your legs, armpits and – do not forget – the bikini line. I don’t shave my legs every week during winter, mainly because it’s a lot of work, but also because I don’t have to: I’m single and during winter we tend not to walk around barelegged.
Hair removal is such a chore.
Anyhoo.
I talked to my sister earlier. It was nice hearing her voice; we didn’t spend that much time together when I was home for the holidays. She is busy with her work and friends, and there is this guy she’s been seeing. Sometimes I feel as if she’s distancing herself from me on purpose, because she knows I’m not planning on returning after graduation.
I will let y’all know how things work out, try to keep you updated. I have decided to use the measuring tape that’s been lying around gathering dust, so every week I will check and see if there has been any changes.
Until next time!
