Hello all,
This is a support thread for those wishing to loose weight/tone up in a HEALTHY way whilst at the same time, studying hard so we all pass our exams
Please do not feel pressured at any time to post up specific details. It's the process that we're here to focus on and help each other through
Here are some questions you may like to answer – feel free to add your own
1) How many kilos (approx) to get down to ideal weight?
2) Reasons for being at current state
3) Why I want to loose weight
4) How I plan to loose weight
5) Academic goals
6) How I plan to get my marks up
I’ll start.
How many kilos (approx) to get down to ideal weight: Ideally I’d like to loose at least 2-3 kilos… now, this may not SOUND like much, but you haven’t met my body yet. It HATES loosing weight and has never lost more than 1kg in its entire life. Additionally, I want to gain back a lot of the muscle mass I’m sure I’ve lost over the last few years, so I want to do a kind of gain muscle/loose fat thing.
Also, I’ve put on some curves (lol, I’m more than an A-cup now) since the HSC that I’d really like to keep! I know that I can’t be selective and keep some curves over others, but I would like to tone up.
Reasons for being at current state: Combination of decreased physical activity and genetics. I never had curves until after my HSC – then BAM! There they were. Training and work (I’m a dance teacher) keeps things under control, but I feel it could be better and that I need to establish regular exercise into my life for the long-term.
Why I want to loose weight: I’m pretty petite and have a naturally high waist, so the more I put on, the less waist I have. Also, because I’m small it’s really really obvious when I gain weight I’d also like to get some of my strength/flexibility back, so the sooner I get into regular exercise (rather than relying on training/work) the better.
I was never a somewhat curvy person up till my HSC year/a little bit after. I do like my new curves, but at the same time (probably dancer mentality here) some days I’ll look at my waist and feel really bad that it’s not as slim as it used to be/that I’m getting fat etc etc. Of course, I never do too much about this So this time, I’d like to. Enough of moping around doing nothing!
How I plan to loose weight: I think my eating habits are pretty healthy, but I definitely want to incorporate stretching/strengthening at home every day or second day. I also need to rack up the willpower to do cardio more often – if at all!
Academic goals: I’m supposed to maintain a credit average. I’m not sure that’ll happen, but I think I’ll still need a 2.5 GPA. This semester has been totally spoiling me with a lack of assessments up till about now – lazing around for so long means I’m quite behind (VERY behind for BBA250) and I need to get more of a move-on. I’m a terrible procrastinator!!
How I plan to get my marks up: Stop procrastinating. Start assessments at least a week before they're due. Don't rely one all-nighters the night before. Start listening to BBA250 ilectures NOW!!! lol.
