My daily journal

Okay, so I kinda got through it. Some new exercises I spent staring at the screen going nuh-uh until I tried figuring out how the heck they were doing those. I'm predicting seriously sore muscles in the morning despite stretching. Also sore muscles in new places. Also I no longer have to find extra exercises for the hips because man, that was included. That was absolutely included.

Weigh in time! I've been inexplicably lazy last week and not worked out as much as I really should have. Whoops. Waist: 97 cm (38,2 inches) (-3 cm/1,1 inches) Hips: 136 cm (53,5 inches) (+-0) Thighs: 78 cm (30,7 inches) (-1 cm/0,39 inches) Chest: 113 cm (44,4 inches) (-2 cm/0,8 inches) Upper Arm: 35 cm (13,7 inches) (-1 cm/0,39 inches) Weight: 104 kg (229,2 lbs) (-1 kg/2,2 lbs) Goal weight: 70 kg (154,3 lbs) So basically no change from last week except another cm off my waist. Not quite sure how to work the weight off my hips, I'll have to look into that.

We're thinking of converting a room in the cellar into a sort of home-gym. It's currently only being used for storage. I think it's an awesome idea, but it's a lot of work getting it into a workable condition. But then again, we've never really shied away from hard work. We can do this!

At least I know I'm getting better at the workout positions when I start hurting in places until now unknown to me.

Today was the first day I got through the whole workout program at the programs pace! More or less anyway, push ups are still giving me hell.

Uh, I went into the fitness tag because I thought there might be some inspirational/motivational things there that I could use at some point but???? Mainly it was asses?? I mean, I'm happy you're happy with being very thin and that you have a nice ass, but it's not really what I was looking for? I'm not sure a closeup of a girls ass counts as fitness? Or boobs for that matter?

Got myself and my mom out for a 30 minute walk this evening. It smelled like rain and the beginning of spring. Which is not normal in Sweden in the beginning of March.

Taking a few days off working out due to illness sounds like a good idea (it is a good idea, actually) but starting up the program again after? Ouch. Anyway, I did my 30 minutes + 15 of stretching and now I'm geeking out about all these activity trackers that I didn't even know were a thing until now.

So, time for a weigh-in/measuring to see if anything happened in a week. Waist: 98 cm (38,5 inches) (-2 cm/0,8 inches) Hips: 136 cm (53,5 inches) (+-0) Thighs: 78 cm (30,7 inches) (-1 cm/0,39 inches) Chest: 113 cm (44,4 inches) (-2 cm/0,8 inches) Upper Arm: 35,5 cm (13,7 inches) (-0,5 cm/0,19 inches) Weight: 104 kg (229,2 lbs) (-1 kg/2,2 lbs) Goal weight: 70 kg (154,3 lbs) Hey, that's actually not all that bad. Not a super-fast weight loss, but those rarely work for very long, so I can certainly deal with a long term plan. I mean, if I loose one kg/week for the rest of the year (which is probably unlikely, since it has a tendency to slow down at some point) I have the possibility of reaching my goal weight within the year.

Went for a long walk yesterday evening, it was pretty nice, if a little foggy.

Workout didn't happen, mostly because I feel really fucking sick. My immune system is shitty, and I've been coming down with something for the past few days. Urgh.
