Hm, this will be harder to write then I first thought... It's weird that. Suddenly one feel one have an idea for a post, one start riding, but then one realize that one don't have that much to say about the matter anyway! So this will probably be a pretty short post. And it's actually not about anything strictly lolita related. It's about exercise. Yupp. You read right. Exercise. Don't mistake that for excorcise as I often do... The latter would be way more fun, though, wouldn't it?

Anyway! As most of you probably know, I'm in the middle of a personal weight loss program. Not that much because of lolita, but more for cosplay and also for the fact that I have realized how increadibly happy it makes me feel when I see results. But the last month I feel I haven't been that good at all. I've been incredibly lazy... But just now I stumbled over Ramble Rori's blog and her latest blogpost. She's also in the middle of a diet and she said she used FatSecret to monitor her calorie intake and what not. Personally I'm not of the kind who wish to count every calorie I eat. I had some girls in my class during junior high who was obsessed with calories to the point it was scary and I do not wish to become like that.

However! What other I found on this site was some weightloss challenges and challenges is something I like. And better yet; One don't have to become a member of any site to follow the challenges. All one has to do is to make a personal plan out from the challenges and keep the process to oneself and those one wish to share them with! What I have noticed from most of the challenges there is three simple things; Drink plenty of water, exercise every day (or 5 days a week) and take the occational long walk. It isn't harder then that.

So my current plan is;

• Spend at least an hour on DDR (dancing pad!) every day
• Do 50 crunches every day
• Do 10 pushups 2 times a day
• Take a long walk at least three times a week
• Drink a lot of water every day.

I will be good to myself and do this and keep track of it. I will write down in my planner the days I will go for a walk and I will make sure to keep track of every excercise I do. Luckily for me I already have the water drinking part down as I don't drink anything else then water. As for the rest... Well, excuse me while I leave for today's walk!

What about the rest of you out there? Are there more lolitas here who wish to loose weight or become more fit? If so, do you have any plans on how to acchieve it? I'd love to hear!

Toodles!

P.S. I also stumbled over this community on LJ: Lolitas for Healthy Weightloss. It doesn't seem to be too active at the moment, but hopefully that will change once the challenges will start again!
