VickyC Get Fit For Summer Challenge
Posted by VickyC on April 25th, 2010Happy Sunday!
I hope you are all having a lovely weekend and that the sun is shining wherever you are!
So after nearly a month of no posts, I think it’s time to resume again!
I was in the bath yesterday evening and I had an epiphany whilst staring at my not-so-flat tummy.. How many of you promise yourselves that you’re going to work out and get all healthy before beach season starts? I know I do! Every year – without fail, I’m all like “YEAH, I have to get bikini ready.. I’m only going to eat salads and croutons and do 1,000 sit ups every day” and it never happens.. and then I schlepp around all summer feeling like crap..
But not THIS summer!!! I’m going to do a daily “Get Fit For Summer Challenge” blog, and I think (hope!) that actually documenting it will be the motivation I need to stick to it. I thought about doing video blogs for it, but being devastatingly camera shy, I figured that this would be an awful idea.. And, my stomach does not need it’s own internet air time!
Also, I was at The Room magazine’s annual party last week and the skinny-mini models made me super sad.. I don’t intend to be model-skinny, just a bit more compact!!
After all, not *everything* is meant to jiggle!
So, starting tomorrow (not today because I just ate a giant bag of Cheetos), I’m going to get all healthy and exercise! And it’s going to be done properly – weights & measurements, possibly some photo evidence, etc. I’ll hit up some salads, sit ups, lunges, those leg lift things.. I think the main challenge will be trying to stick to a healthy diet in a country where everything is doused in oil… In case I didn’t mention before, I’m in Budapest, Hungary. The country of Pálinka, Paprika and Kólbàsz (fruit brandy, red pepper and Hungarian sausage!).
Oh lord, I just realized what a “lunge” is.. so i’ll have to “Vicky proof” the room before I lunge my way through a table or something.
Ok, just a little side note… This is not going to be some crazy “I’m not going to eat any wheat” diet or weirdo cleanse. I think diets are ridiculous.. So it’s going to be an exercise in eating in moderation – so 1 Cheeto instead of 1 BAG of Cheetos. And my boyfriend found a series of workout videos on YouTube that he thinks would be useful- I’m sure him finding them has nothing to do with the hot girl who stars in them!!!!!
Right, I’m going to leave you with this awesomeness that I was watching on YouTube yesterday. Enjoy! DeStorm – Ke$ha vs. Lady GaGa
