Since I don't REALLY count calories (only when I want to, or only when I'm in one of those paranoid moods), I think I've been getting a bit tubby. Yes, I know that drinking 3 starbucks drinks per day (hey, at least I generally don't ingest any caffeine from these) and eating a whole pack of crackers late at night isn't exactly the right way to go. And yes, the bubble tea I've been having lately at Estea is probably destroying my cholesterol...
Nonetheless, I've been
trying to exercise. My fitness-related activities this summer (so far) have included playing ultimate*,
going for a run everyday, working out my finger muscles on the computer, and doing pushups in front of the TV**.
Today, I played ultimate*
again, even though I happened to be one of the worst people there (since there were some people on the Provincial team who decided to show up). Nonetheless, it was pretty scary. I'm pretty sure I was one of the weaker ones there too. Two of the other girls there practice Mixed Martial Arts recreationally, and the others didn't look exactly puny either. They could probably beat me up if they wanted to. Then again, I think that's how its always been. Hmm.
It's interesting, because my dad, for awhile, worked very hard to have a toned body. Of course, it's not really in our genes, and within a year of stopping, he lost everything. So, really, what's the point? I know when I fly off to Waterloo I'm going to be eating burgers and fries everyday anyway. I might as well save the hassle and get used to having a beerbelly, right?
So... any ideas out there with how to save my flabby abs? I should probably start with cutting down on the unhealthy food I eat. *Crunches on garlic croutons*
* Playing ultimate refers to playing a grand total of 1 hour
** Cumulative pushup count at under 40

and run.
and if you take corners fast enough you might just shake off the belly fat police =)
Well, I think you could uhh... at least try working out.
There are actually tons of possibilities, you can even try cooking (healthy food) for yourself (or uhh, maybe that isn't really in your genes either) so you don't have to eat fries and burgers, or you can keep the calories and try to burn them by working out of course. Obviously, you would have to find something that you can and will do on a regular basis: it won't work if you do it once and then let it linger for days before you will decide to work out again. And no, for burning calories push ups won't work. ;)
Although I'd think that a girl who will whine your ass off if you're not working out would work best, it's less fun but it's much more effective :D (no offense to any girl reading this... Not like it matters since I'm probably on the other side of the world...)
The last thing you can do of course is simply get fat, if you're fat enough no one will care if you gain even more pounds ;)
