No Improvement

I took this photograph on January 1, 2013. I cropped it because there's no way (yet?) I'm going to show you my thighs. Unfortunately, I haven't lost any weight since my last photo (October 17, 2012) and nothing has changed. *sigh*

Eating healthier and running haven't helped yet, or so it seems. That means I have to invest more time in working out and make healthier food choices still.

Fab Abs: Day 2

Yesterday, I told you about Fab Abs January. After day 1, my abs do feel a little sore - which tells you a lot about my current fitness level (it's looooooow...). 

Today, it was 10 sit-ups, 5 push-ups, and a 15 sec plank. Man, I would never have expected planks to be such a pain!

Did you celebrate last night? Or did you prefer to stay at home and watch tv like D & I did?

Yesterday, I stumbled across Sisterhood Of The Shrinking Jeans' Monthly Workout Calender for January, Fab Abs January, and decided to give it a try. It seems to be easy enough so that even beginners can follow through.

Fab Abs: Day 1

I gave it a try earlier today and did the requested 10 sit-ups, 5 push-ups, and 10 sec plank. The only thing I found hard to do were the sit-ups, because Flo kept sneaking up on me and tried to lick my face the whole time (her breath doesn't exactly smell like spring flowers).

Last year, I think it was in October, when I realized how much weight I had gained, I tried doing push-ups, too. Then, I found it so hard to do only 3 and I quit doing them after only a week. Today, I was afraid that I would fail doing 5 push-ups, but I managed to do them. Man, I'm glad about that! ;)

Years ago, when I still was actively practicing taekwondo, doing 30-35 push-ups were hardly an issue. I just did them and never thought about it. Hopefully, I'll be able to do that many once again at the end of January.
