julia Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Well so far it was quite easy to stay consistent, because I quit nursing school in Juli. University will start in October, so I hope to stay active despite being busy. But there's some great role-models on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julia Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Sep 12th: 25 min abs.. had to stop then because my headache was getting worse.. somehow swimming the day before wasn't too good for my neck.. I'll focus on stretching more next time..Sep 13th: rowing machine [4.17km,30 min, 240kcals, 886 strokes] although usually I'm closer to 4.5km after 30 min I'm quite happy with the results nevertheless, because I hadn't been motivated until minute 7 or so..

julia Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Oct 3: no running after all, just a walk and later a 25 min workout, with lots of lunges, which I have never done before! (I did 25 with each leg forward, side, and backward) wanted to post progress pics today but ended up being in a hurry, so I took just one picture, here it is: "before":http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/9653/front2cd.th.jpg after: http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/1236/img8015c.th.jpg I'm not happy with the picture (I think the only thing I flexed was my biceps ), so I only post it here.I'll take some more pictures within the next week and share them in the progress pics - thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julia Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Still don't have any new photos, and haven't been that active lately.. (1 hour of swimming per week, 1 to 2 times rowing machine or stationary bike and on other days upper body or abs)Feel like my tummy is leaner than ever, though I'll try to stick to the way I "train" and eat now, and see if I can keep the muscles and keep fat away. Since uni started I often leave home at 5:45 and come home 5 and 8 PM, because I don't live in the same city (yet). So I don't have much time/energy left for training.
