Journal #8026

I walk back home from my faculty every day.

I've been meaning to start walking. Not gonna happen as long as I have this %¤#&! cold.

Not at all. I will be walking for 30 minutes every week day when my office moves later this month but that's about it. I used to do a 3 minute upper body pump every other day but I kinda stopped.

I think I'd be in better shape if I didn't work at all. Need to win the lottery.

Schoool days: Study Play Eat study Sleep

I do quite a bit of running as a delivery driver. It definitely keeps me in shape.
I probably wouldn't exercise at all otherwise.

Walk almost every day for at least 1-2km. School then chilling with friends.

Not an amazing workout but at least I can comfortably walk several km unlike some people who can't because they travel everywhere in a vehicle and never get proper exercise.

Heh, for a month now my schedule has kind of cha...

ELLIOT LUCAK IS BACK!

Anyway, my schedule has become a lot more demanding from me since I started college. Walking 1-2 km each day, definitely more in some days, and a lot of studying( or should I say, lack of.. I'm a bit behind- hopefully though I'll pass the exams...). This translates in my increased need of sleep. I find myself taking naps a lot more often than I used to do in high-school.

i run once a week but usually go for several walks if I havnt been doing much in the day.
i do power walk a bit at work too, as a waiter.

As a truck unloader, my shift consists of 8 hours of grueling physical activity 5 days a week.

As bad as that might sound, im a lot more fit than I was, say, 4 months ago.

I've been trying to get into the habit of doing pushups and situps while waiting for my computer to boot.
...But I'm not very active or fit. I wish there was someplace around here I could do Parkour on/with. I want to try that out. I imagine I would get fit very quickly doing that. Or injured.

For the record, walking is not really exercise, as you could walk from here to the moon, and you and you'd still be fat and out of shape. (powerwalking on the other hand, is exercise)

I swim 1000-1200 meters almost everyday, which is not a lot, but it helps to get my blood pumping and my brain working right. at home when i'm dicking off on the computer, i will do tabata sets of push-ups/crunches/full situps and yoga(sometimes) whenever i get up from my desk, so i don't completely turn to jelly.

Jeff: i'd love to Parkour with you sometime maybe if i move to canada =) it' also funny we both exercise whilst on the computer

Scotch: running is the best exercise you can do, as long as your knees and other joints can handle it, good for you

Holy shit! Well, maybe the 1000-1200 meters part is only suprising to me because I can barely swim 50 meters >.< I'm a terribubble swimmer.

I dunno, I've just noticed I've gathered up a little more mass than I used to have, so I'm looking to trim down.

1000 meters is nothing really; if you're having trouble with 50, you are working too hard also, i saw what you did there.

If you are trying to lose weight, diet should be your number-one priority. I like the diet of eating whatever you like, just keep the portions down. A new thing i'd like to try though is alt-day fasting, which is laboriously expained in this bbc horizon.

Last time I checked I was around 90kg. And unfortunately I am nowhere near as physically fit as I would like to be. I think the majority of that is because of where I live - there aren't any pools or gyms within a bus ride's distance away, and the bus stop is about a twenty minute walk away. I would walk more but the roads near my house are potentially quite dangerous for pedestrians - narrow, winding, very little visibility, and the occasional idiot who likes to drive down them at break-neck speed.

While I was in Australia in June I got into the habit of watching what I ate, and walking everywhere quite often, and I think I lost about 5kg over four weeks. Although the next month - staying at people's houses, having large meals, not really having a way to keep track of calories and having nowhere to exercise - I put that weight back on.

I think I will try to start eating more responsibly soon. Maybe a small chicken roll for breakfast/lunch and whatever I am given for dinner. There would be around 1500 calories max in that.

I have no idea how much I eat. All I know is it's far less than I WAS eating.

Basically, I just go with "no snacks, just breakfast, lunch and dinner". And because I buy my own food, studying at Uni in Brisbane and all, I can control what I eat as well.
I wish I knew how to make a salad I would eat.

The Big Brother thing had me way off, making salad instead of hot dogs and working out in tuxs and all =P

All that said, I think the biggest challenge to starting is procrastination. Y'know, it's always "I'll start next week" or "when I run out of butter" or whatever, when there's absolutely no reason not to start right while they're saying that. I should know, I do it.

Just eat cabbage salad. I think it's universal.

yer mum eats cabbages

In highschool I worked out four days a week! Now in college I try to workout two if I can. Three would be the best.

I try to run twice a week usually just combine it with my workout.

At work I stand many hours in a row... Not really exercise.

I NEED HAT.
