And next.
Time to be out with it.... I've started a fitness program. And have been doing it for over two months now, actually. But the results aren't quite what I would like yet, because fitness comes in a triangle. There are three parts to it. Like the Trinity. The first two corners are sleep and exercise, and the third is nutrition. That's been the stumbling block I keep tripping over. Most of you know I'm a slightly picky eater, and prefer carbs for my main staple.... which isn't good for building and/or toning muscle. <_< So anyway I've actually done pretty good, considering my sweet tooth and carbohydrate-loving nature, but I guess "pretty good" doesn't really cut it. I lift weights, but if I'm not eating protein to build muscle it defeats the purpose. It's hard rewiring my brain.
I've always been naturally on the smaller side, so it's obviously not about weight loss, but muscle gain. For one reason because I'm sick to losing arm wrestling matches to Elizabeth. I know you're reading this, Liz!! >=(
*cough* >_>
One of the hardest parts is keeping it kind of hush-hush. Not that I'm really trying to keep it a secret. I mean I tell my friends that I work out, I don't care if they know, that's fine.... but it's like... adults! -_- I don't know why... it's just for some reason I don't really want them to know. I know my parents wouldn't make a big deal about it, and they knew about when I would get up and run or use the Nordic-Track in the morning, and I'm sure they've noticed my more frequent comments about healthy foods and such. In fact a while back Mom sat down and told me how proud she was, because she had noticed that I was getting up early to run, and staying on top of healthier eating, and in her words, "stepping up a notch". There's not much of a better feeling than having your parents say they'r proud of you. Not much at all. But I don't exactly like their eyes being around when I work out, so I usually do it in my room. So yeah I can only use the workout DVD's when I'm home alone, which isn't that often anymore. e_e Whatever. Hmm I wonder if the fitness club in town has the daily fee option? I can't afford a membership. Maybe when I get my license.
So anyways. -*realizes I say "anyway" a lot* - Aaanyway, I appreciate accountability of eating from anyone that wants to give it. I never realized how easy it is to be completely unhealthy. >_> But since I've started trying to eat better, I feel healthier, or at least I'm more conscious of it, and I think my blood sugar has been more stable cause I haven't got a migraine in the past two months! ^_^
Random confession #2:
Sometimes I like reading girly books and magazines. [insert horrified gasp here] Yeah yeah, I know. Shock-and-awe. But mostly books. I think sometimes it's cause the covers or all-around feeling is like all rainbow and colorful!! And rainbow stuff is cool. I like rainbow stuff. >.> But sometimes the plot will be kinda interesting, but usually it's about some 7th or 8th-grader who has a crush on some guy, and I can read the plot completely unattached because I can't really relate. xD But it makes fun, light reading when I'm bored at work or something. Sometimes, they actually turn out pretty good. The first book like that I read all the way through was a suggestion from Sharee, a frequent visitor of the library who I've become friends with. She's a freshman this year, and is really sweet, and talks to me about... stuff I don't think you'd normally share with the library page. xD But I guess I'll take that as a complement. It's an honor, really. The book was called "Undercover", by Beth Kephart, I believe. *looks it up* Yeah. Beth Kephart. It was about a girl who writes poems but doesn't want to really publish them, so she would write loves poems at the request of kids at school to put in the locker of someone they liked, and blah blah blah, then she starts ice skating at the frozen pond down the street, then she enters a skate competition and the popular girl gets ticked off at her, and blah blah blah.... happy ending.
But the point is, I would never have read a book like that if it weren't for Sharee. But despite my description, it was a pretty good book! It was a.... unique experience to step into Sharee's world for a bit and see what's great about it.
Last week I got a magazine for Prom dresses in the mail. NO idea why or how, but there it was..... I get stuff like that every once in a while. It's fun to flip through... >_> Just for my curiosity, if nothing else. xD I at least like to see if there's anything I remotely like, like something Elven.... but there usually isn't. The only thing I really liked in the whole issue was the tuxedo the one guy was wearing. Cause it had an electric blue tie.
It's fun to laugh at how pathetic they all are. xD Prom..... they'll realize how foolish it was in...ten years?
But Elizabeth came out and told me that Bekah and I are required to wear dresses to her18th birthday dance-thing. Ah, well.... at least I got a warning. v_v And at least it's a line dance or something like it, I believe.
But Elven dresses are extremely hard to find in thrift stores. Maybe Annie can help me sew something. And ooh! Maybe she'll let me wear my sword! >=) Mwahahaha.
