Kureransu's Log.

3 hours of tennis? That's crazy. I'm pretty tired after one hour. Mind you, I'm not very good so I spend a lot of time running around after the ball, and we do more rallying than actual playing.

Your workouts would kill me. You're in damn good shape, man.
 
worn out.

Just got back from cardio session. my body wore down before i ran out of breath. i just couldn;t push anymore. i ened up wit 7.7 miles, about .8 miles short of what i normally do, but i caculated that including tennis, i have worked out for about 8 hours including todays session since sunday. that would explain to super soreness. tomorrow after my full body i am sleeping all day and relaxing from tennis until the weekend. i have tennis tonight and that''l most likely put me out lol. man does it feel good. anyway a nap and hunger are calling me before i head to work. chat you guys later.
 
heya, just thought i should drop by and say thanks for checking in on my diary, and the very encouraging words....i've also seen you around quite a bit but for some reason never ended up here...and so glad i did today.

It seems a lot of people are impressed with my pull-ups. This morning people were asking me how i managed to do them, given my size. A lot of people there aspire to, but still can't get one in yet. i just kept pushing, and now i am up to 4 sets of 5. Cool indeed.

hahaha! amazing stuff! don't you just love it when people underestimate you at the gym because of your size then you pull a complete SHOCKER on them and do something they never thought you'd ever be able to do (and even better than them) and they're left with some look of shock on their face?

during my group classes (aerobics or combat), there's usually some newbies who look at me like 'what is she doing here?', then i go through the entire class and kick a$$ and at the end of it some of them look exhausted and start taking breaks to catch their breath, but i'm still there giving my 100% and they're looking at me like OMG, she's actually doing better than us. i think that look is priceless....it usually makes me want to work harder not only for myself but to show others they shouldn't judge by appearances.

anyway, glad i stopped by here, it's great for motivation! especially since i see i'm more or less the weight you were when you started, it makes me know i can do this!...i'm now a regular on here. all the best xoxo
 
Hey stranger! :) You better give your body a break Mr!!!! We do not need another back incident!!!!! hehe.:toetap05:


Hey!!!! I do pull ups too!!!!!

not so impressive... mine are weight assisted so that i am only pulling up 88 lbs.... not all my weight hehehe.



How is your weightloss progress going??? Still shedding the pounds like a nut?!?!?! you are a machine clarence!!!! a freakin machine!!!! hehe
 
so i am aboutt to head tot he gym. EXCITING!!! anyway, just wanted to share something. yesterday i was scheduled to play tennis. I'm at work and i realize i brought no clothes for tennis, so i figure i can run to target and buy a shirt and some shorts for cheap. I ge there and i find the shorts and shirts and the prices for bother were Small- xtra large 9.99. XXL-11.99! So i grab the Extra large of both and sure it enough they fit like a charm! its nice to save so much money on clothes now thanks to smaller sizes. things are going great! ok off for that full body workout!
 
Okay, I just read all your tennis/work out stuff and I am worn out. You surely push yourself...I need to read you for big time MOTIVATION!!!

So now I feel like crapolio (doesnt crapolio sound like a margarine made of poo) that I only did one mile yesterday..just because of my MP3 running out of juice. I found a battery in a drawer (that I hope will work..gawd i am pathetic) and I am planning on meeting YOUR standards today!!!!

I like your attitude alot....Thanks for the inspiration!!!

PS..why when you need AAA batteries for something you find all you have is AA batteries...? And why are batteries named the same as bra cup sizes? I must reflect.......I will take this to my own journal...
 
Hello Kureransu,

Thanks for poppin in on my diary. ;) Looks like you are making out pretty well yourself! I am in the same boat or is it vote? as a lot of other ppl that I've msged as well with getting into that smaller size, it's sure encouraging!! :party: Keep it up!!

Wednesday

Oh my god, i posted this morning, but it didn't take! Anyway long post coming so beware!

First Hi melissa! its always a pleasure to have you post in my thread. its a sight for sore eyes!

Ok so yesterday i was scheduled to play tennis, but i forgot my tennis gear. I went to target and found some shorts and a shirt. Then i noticed something that made me smile. Small-extra large-$9.99 XXL-$11.99! Guess what I bought? the cheaper ones! hha they fit great and i think an extra large may have been too big in the sorts for me! but i'll still keep them. I am already reaping benefits from losing weight. AWESOME!

well today at the gym i was getting compliments and turning doubters into believers! It was full body circuits as usualay as of late, and the pull ups were wheeling in the spectators. I was actually able to do a few widest-grip pull ups as well for extra flare. also doing lunges, with 45s and 50s they were talking about my insanely strong legs. I also had a few doubters when i was doing my vertical jumps. one guy was like, "you gonna jump up on that?! maaan, i don't know about that, that seems pretty high man, you sure you can do that?" sure enough i did them with ease, and it was supper impressed lol. he says "man, you got serious hops! i would have never guessed!" haha. while walking out, another guy was like " i saw you look at that stack, and i was ready to call for help, but you surprised me once again!" i'm like thanks. its nice to be noticed. they are talking about how different i look nowadays. i'm loving the community at my gym its a real motivator!
 
Hey buddy!

Thank you for being so supportive and sweet to me in my diary.

Congrats on buying the CHEAPER SIZE! That's freakin' awesome! Look at you go! :)

:party:
 
Congrats for your smaller clothes size, and it's sooo cool that you have support like that at your gym and that people are noticing your changes! All gyms should be that supportive.
 
i must be blind..

i swear i didn't see any of these posts last time i checked or updated. I want to thank all you guys (gals) for stopping in!

bare: i have no idea why battery sizes are like bra sizes lol. i never noticed the connection there. My standards are ok. i slack off a lot to me, but i just keep pushing through! I just make sure i work up a nice sweat before i leave the gym. tennis is so much fun it never feels like a workout.

Kimmy: Its nothing we all deserve the support and love from one another, so no thanks needed. its well deserved :)

RG: yeah smaller and smaller i get, the crazy thing is i still look the same. i really need more pics to gauge a difference!

blue: Thanks for cheering me on!! yeah the "morning crew" is awesome. we come in we work hard and we support each other. we make sure that we all want to be there the next day. i swear its like work. but only 1 or 2 hours a day.
 
yah dude, wally world is the same way. like 4.99 for plain shirts up to xl and like 6.99 for 2x and more.

how gay is that. im a weird size tho. im broad shouldered and barrel chested, i have to buy 2x and shrink them, xl fits till i wash it, ha.

Gosh, I would love to start playing raquetball again.
 
its so fun! but dangerous, me and my old workout buddy didnt really know the rules so we just knocked the shit out the ball. bruises galore haha. and plenty of nut shots. i actually bought a cup. that was a horrible day.
 
never played racquetball but there is a racquetball club down the street from me that i work out at sometimes..they have pics from like in the 70's 80's when it was really big...ya know all the guys are wearing terry cloth headbands and those shorts with the white stripe up the seems (and really really really short shorts)...and protective eyewear...boy it takes me back
 
Hi!

I'm an early bird when I'm not a night owl... but unfortunately, last night I was a night owl. I'm still awake at 5am, but I'm not exactly happy about it. ;)
 
Thursday

Ok at work now. Had a GREAT cardio day! I finally hit a milestone. 8.05 miles in 60 minutes at level 10 resistance! I have been trying to get that for 3 weeks now and finally, the hard work has paid off. i hard to work super hard on it. just focusing on breathing and keeping the mph up. i never was out of breath, but my legs were definitely feeling the burn. Feels good to finally accomplish that feat. hopefully i can do it again, then 8.5, then 9, then level 15 and start all over again at 6. my legs must rival those of an ox now lol. anyway, how's everything going for everyone else?

oh yeah, i'm pretty much relaxing for the rest of the day. no tennis or anything. going to be nice. anyway, hungry going to kitchen to probably get a bottled water and nutrigrain bar.
