kaiserkuchen...and still, I am pretty much psyched about the effects that these crash sessions of pilates+workouts that I have been having since last Friday. I GOT TO PUNCH THINGS THIS WEDNESDAY!! It's a damn shame I don't have more time here (ahhh leaving for Bangkok this Sunday :((( ), because I am wistfully imagining how much more awesome I'd look after that. Past the span until mid October when I will be wholly consumed by my Thesis, I do hope that I can still latch upon this feeling and try to exercise more in Vienna. There must be a fitness studio near the dorms that isn't either horrifically seedy or horrendously over-priced, right? I want to lose weight, I want to look fitter and better and be finally happy with the way I look in a mirror without my blinders of denial and 'who gives, it's only you who'll be seeing this' on, and I hope I can stick with this and make something gradual but long-lasting happen, so that I can at least have some prelim results by Christmas. The personal trainer who did a beginning fitness and consultation session with me in the beginning put it in lovely, tangible and slightly alarming numbers. When converted to kilos, the body fat measuring machine tells me that the 35% (with "healthy" being around 25%, apparently) becomes 26 kilos. 26 kilos! That's an entire suitcase filled with stuff that is apparently pasted somewhere around my hips, ass and thighs!
So, because telling things to the internet means that they should eventually happen, I hereby declare my intent to sustainably give this ~*losing weight/getting fitter*~ thing, another good old college try! It would be unbelievable to have a 6- in front of my weight again, and hey, I'm in my 20s, that should be the age where we are at our most young and spry and hot, ne? Lolol. I am sure that Carmen will be an added health policeman and curb my baser impulses (and urges for COCA-COLAAAAAAA and salami pralines) once she gets back, Clemens has been muttering things about also looking to get fit again (and he's always good to drag around for things) and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gwy and I are apparently now internet support buddies! LET'S FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT :D! ALSO, cheshire_tabby, this goes without speaking that I will probably be dragging you grocery shopping and invading your lovely apartment for flimsy reasons again :DD
AND IN OTHER NEWS:laliandra, gwy, cheshire_tabby and soon laulan (AHHH LOOKING FORWARD TO FRIDAY) should all receive shiny internet medals and lovings for being the sparkling and darling people who are playing a massive part in helping me not miserably fail at my Bachelor's Thesis. I COULDN'T HAVE CHOSEN BETTER ARTICULATE AND WONDERFUL PEOPLE TO FAKE NOT-KNOW FOR THE SAKE OF ~ACADEMIC PURITY~ IN INTERVIEWING ♥ ♥
HAVE A PSYCHOTIC PICTURE OF AJ AS YOUR INITIAL "REWARD" :DD

Date: 2009-09-17 06:22 pm (UTC)What kind of yoga are you doing? Not the kind where you are in a room that is sweltering hot, right? My friend has been doing yoga for a few years and is thus crazy bendy, but I've never warmed to the sport because I hated being in rooms with too many mirrors where I am supposed to stare at them and watch myself fail at most of the positions (I CANNOT DO A TUMBLE TO THIS DATE, I HAVE ISSUES OKAY XDD)

Date: 2009-09-17 06:38 pm (UTC)Duuude, yes. I'm technically overweight and while I've been losing weight lately (dear body, haaaaate), I'd like to be toned. I actually would like for my weight to settle because none of my clothes fit. :/
Also, it sucks to be Asian and overweight. (You've seen pictures of me, yes? XP I always look so out of place!)
In my experience, Asian relatives tend to be blunt (although no unkind) and it's so hard to find cute clothes!
My main motivation (aside for health reasons) is that I want to study abroad junior year in Hong Kong and I'd like to be able to buy clothes there! I don't want to look like a twig (since hi, I have boobs! and an ass! and hips! and i kinda like them!) but I also don't want to be the token chubby Asian girl that all the salesclerks make fun of, yanno? D:
Imagine this comment came earlierrrrrrr
Date: 2009-09-20 05:55 pm (UTC)TONED oh my god yes, that is a goal to strive for indeed. And re: clothes, I've been spending these three months here in Bangkok totally stocking up on dresses and having the Asian slightly loose silhouette regarding dresses + leggings be my main MO... and now I am totally hoping I can continue to pull it through in Europe because no one runs around like that in Vienna. Having a teeny-tiny BFF does act as a good break for my urges to buy stock in comfortable loose-fitting shirt-dresses though lol don't want to look like a circus tent next to her!
THAT IS SO TRUE ugh all the needling comments, though undoubtedly well-meant, are just more than vague rage-inducing after a while. I get the double whammy of 'oh if you could only do something about your skin again, you're not 16 anymore after all' that makes me twitch. I've just about given up finding jeans or jean skirts in Asia (local brands or copies) though, that is an exercise in frustration I can do without. Ergo the massive dress frenzy lol. I have had good results with just trawling the 'chubby' shops and then just getting the tops&dresses tailored to fit though! So maybe that could also be an option for you? (The stuff is really mostly impeccably adorable there now, too)
OOOOOH HONG KONG? Dude, that sounds most excellent! But yeah, the sizes there were so tinyyyyyyyyyy... even the export shops I hit up in hope of scoring some stuff meant for the "large" European market only had things I could barely squeeze into. And boobage, hips and ass are things to be cherished and accentuated with awesome clothing anyways, so yeah I most definitely agree ♥
LOOKIT ME, RAMBLING SO LONG lol whoops
