Let's Do This

Terrified of being “Fat Milla”, especially since I just recently found out how much gross parts of the fandom sexualizes and fetishises her. Can I do this? Can I wear this costume with my head held high? Junko is easy to wear with confidence, no matter how revealing. Junko oozes confidence, especially sexual confidence. But Milla’s not about that. She’s beautiful and confident, but not in an overt way. She won’t scratch your eyes out for a cruel comment. What am I doing? I can’t go back on this now, not now that I’ve hyped up this cosplay so much. But I am so scared of showing that much skin.

Trying really hard to motivate myself to get up and go out for a run. It's almost too late to go, and I really don't want to, but I feel like I should.... DX

[vespagetsfit]

Went for another run today*, felt great! The weather was amazing, and I actually went down to the big park this time. It’s a great spot! Also did some more of those crunch-y things afterwards.

*I’m using the Zombies 5k app for my runs, so right now it’s mostly walking. It’s an interval training app, so it will slowly work me up from couch potato status to full runner.

Went for a run yesterday morning (finally!!! First time in ages!), and now my calves are screaming DX

[vespagetsfit]

So I started doing.... crunches? I guess?... yesterday. I guess what I've been doing all along have been sit-ups. Anyway, I only did one short set each today and yesterday and my abs are screaming. I can't find post photos on mobile, but I'll ad a picture later of the actual exercise I'm doing. I found it on a page of methods to improve menstrual cramping, so uh... fingers crossed for that, too :p Also went for a run this weekend and my legs still hate me....

[vespagetsfit]

Okay so I’ve been terrible about working out and whatnot... But now I have goals! We’ll see if this helps at all.... I say as I eat pizza for lunch. --__--

[vespagetsfit]

Half hour run and 30 situps! I'm terrible at making this a routine, but at least I'm still trying!

[vespagetsfit]

Okay so in my town it's suddenly gotten to the point where it is legitimately too cold to run... but I have been doing situps! I took two or three days off because my schedule is very weird this week, but I started up again today, and before that point I'd been doing them every day!

[vespagetsfit]

Okay so the decision was made for me: neither. I forgot that I have an appointment this morning.

[vespagetsfit]

IT IS SNOWING Okay so do I go out in the freaking snow, or do I do more sit-ups and push-ups today?

[vespagetsfit]

Oh yeah and also 10 push-ups and a bunch of stretching. Gonna stretch some more before I get dressed this morning.

[vespagetsfit]

Heheh, so I actually did more than thirty sit-ups today, becaaaaause~

Tada~ It’s a combination training app / dating sim! XDDD

Okay so the guy is a complete douche, fatshaming all over the place, but it is a good motivator to get up and get moving. Plus it comes with an alarm clock that’s set up so the guy yells at you and makes fun of you if you don’t wake up...

It’s fairly high on the ridiculous level.

Goals

Fitness goal: To be able to climb the 2.5 flights of stairs to my apartment without being winded.

Weight loss goal: To once again fit comfortably into an adorable hoodie I haven’t been able to wear in awhile; currently the sleeves make my arms feel like sausages, but there was a time not too long ago when it fit me perfectly...

The plan: Alternating running days and crunch days

Running days: stretch, half hour run (currently using the couch-to-5k app), then another stretch

Sit-up days: Longer stretch, 15 sit-ups, 5 push-ups (this is a lot for me, the number will go up at some point), short stretch

I don’t want to push myself too hard, too fast, because I know myself well enough to know that I’ll use exhaustion as an excuse to stop for a few days, and then I’ll never get going again. So I’m trying to set realistic goals at the beginning. :p

[vespagetsfit]

I'm cold, I'm exhausted, I'm satisfied.

[vespagetsfit]

Stretching, and then going for a run. It's not even 8am, and it is below freezing outside, and I reeeeeally don't want to do this, but I guess this is where it begins. Wish me luck!
