My name is Angel and I'm on here in the hopes that I can find the information and motivation to tone my body and stop feeling so self concious. When I left college I used to dance (Cheerleading, belly dance and salsa), do aerobics (occassionally step aerobics), yoga, hike, walk miles to the shops and back, ride my pushbike everywhere out of walking distance and generally be very active. I found this made me feel great, I looked fantastic and I had so much energy, plus I could eat whatever the heck I wanted without worrying about my weight loss because even if I ate sweets all day, I wouldn't put any weight on.
Since I lost my job though, my fitness levels have just comitted suicide. It's aweful. I've put on a bit of weight, not enough to worry, but enough to notice, I've lost definition in my stomach and my thighs, I'm no longer motivated, I feel drained a lot of the time and I don't have any self confidence anymore. It's really depressing me, and now I'm engaged and buying my wedding outfit has really put me in a funk.
My problem is though, I no longer live in a hilly area, everything I need is around the corner, I don't know the area well, my bike is eternally being repaired by my dad and I probably won't get it back until after I'm married (2012) and I can't afford classes. Which has pretty much destroyed my entire fitness routine. So now I'm here, hoping for some help in getting back into shape for February.
And to make the whole thing harder...I cannot calorie count. I have no idea how much I take in and certainly no idea about how much I use up.
I do have an Ipod nano with a built in pedometer though, which has helped boost my motivation.
And...that's all I can think to write. So, hello!
