fitness feature

change of plan, new feature is now

firstly, i need a disclaimer. this post, or any related posts to this one, has nothing, to do with this post. now, let's continue.

shiny new feature!

now, i am the worst for procrastinating. for example, i have been saying 'i'll start running' for about three years. i must have gone running no more than ten times in three years. that's pretty bad.

but

until very recently, i had got into a pattern of exercise. sit-ups in the morning, biking in the evening on weekdays and an hour of wii fit on a sunday. (the last one sounds like a bit of a cop-out, but honestly, i am from the internet, exercise is not all that compatible, i have to start off small) and lots and lots of walking.
then, while researching for this feature, i managed a rather spectacular bicycle accident. i say accident, there were a lot of factors causing it to happen. this left me with a pretty badly damaged hip/upper thigh.

owch.

anyway, there's little about my body that i don't like. and on july 26th, i go on a ten day holiday to cyprus. super-happy-relaxed-fun times! and i cannot wait. plus, i love the fact i can wear practically no clothing - because of the heat - without being judged.

friday, i saw a woman, not that much older than myself, walking around my local town centre in a certain style of top. then i remembered how much i would love to wear one of those in total confidence.

so, from now until the 26th of july, i will be keeping a careful eye, not on my weight specifically, but on how i can tone and improve my body. i'm going to have a lot of time on my hands, and when i'm bored, i eat. it's a big downfall. and a terrible habit i plan to break. i want to buy some running/exercise kit to go out in, so i don't look like a total novice; and to encourage me! i originally wasn't keen on posting this. however, due to the fact that i give up pretty easily, i am going to need as much encouragement as possible! please comment, or email me with hints, tips, advice and encouragement, thank you!

let the sit-ups, running, biking, exercise and healthy eating commence.
