15:21 Where do I starrrtt . . .

Now its getting sunnier, I've been looking ahead to the summer.
I'm so looking forward to going to the beach and camping and all sorts!

Thing is, I'd love to just put on a strap top and shorts in the summer and not worry about my legs or belly. Okay so this is sounding a bit like "that old story", but I don't think I'm fat, I'm just not brilliantly healthy. I get ill a fair bit and I don't do any exercise. Anyhow. Being your average teenage girl I'm a little bit paranoid and self conscious!

I'm not complaining about my body, we all have things that we'd change, I'm not sad or depressed but I just think, y'know, it would be better for me if I was healthier. So as of today I'm gonna do #GetSexySunday and I'll update you on what I've done differently that week to be more fit and healthy.

As of tomorrow I'm going to be skipping once a day, cause its pretty good for you, (does anyone know how long it should be for to make it worth while?) and seeing if it makes me feel better/worse/healthier/more energised/more tired.

PS.
Appaz calorie counting is a big NO-NO according to @MummyToes

You seem pretty healthily slim around your midriff there, but we could all do with a bit of exercise in our life :)

You go girl! \\o/

...But not too far :(

okay before i read any of that i thought you were gonna tell us you were preggers.
almost shit my pants.

Also. Good job on the conditional acceptance!
Another also. You're beautiful inside and out and blah blah blah but being healthy is good, so I'm proud of you for that.

AND lastly.
Try going for 10 minutes straight, it will really get your heart pumping and you'll def. sweat.

I'll look forward to the updates, maybe it'll inspire to get off my backside. :) Skipping if very enjoyable, I loved it as a kid - try to aim for reaching specific numbers without mistakes, aiming for that keeps your mind off thoughts like "ugh, this is taking too long". Have fun!

Oh god, I thought you were going to say you were pregnant.
Jeeeeezzzz that would have been and interesting thing to booth about.

I understand what you are saying about feeling unhealthy, but if you suggest to me that you think that you need to lose weight from your legs or belly I will physically rugby tackle you and take you down to the ground during our english presentation tomorrow.
Just to let you know in advance. :)

Hahaha @crimsong19, I think she means, like, skipping with a rope.
Although I do like the thought of Martha prancing along the road on the way to school.

Yeah in America, we call it jumping rope. lol
But when you said "skipping is healthy", I immediately thought of skipping or cutting class, like playing hookey. lol
Hey, missing school is healthy too sometimes...

@MartyToes hahaha much like @SarahMascara, @Josie_X, and @GetYourJenniOut my jaw dropped when I saw the picture: That's the universal "first baby bump" pose *grin*

As far as not counting calories per se, maybe your mom would have less of an issue if you counted points (a la Weight Watchers) -- since there is also an enforced *minimum* and it's a better measure of the *healthiness* of what you're eating (fiber calories count less, fat calories count much more). ;)

a) I would KILL to have your figure, I know that's probably not the type of discussion you were aiming for but I'm just saying.

b) I really want to get healthier and fitter too! and lose weight.

c) I used to try skipping back in the day, to lose weight. You should probably do around 10-15 minutes straight, the main point is to get your heart rate up, but I remember After like 4 minutes my legs were numb. Bahahaha I suck :| Maybe If I'm persistent it will get better but yeah. I actually found my skipping rope the other day when I was cleaning my room but I and I was like hmm, I should start that again, but I haven't picked it up since :| bahaha fail.

d) hay :] <3

@MartyToes I have like NO motivation to get fit because i don't gain weight when i eat loads, and when i don't eat much in a couple of days or do a bit of exercise (which i'm not fond of doing since i'm not very good), i lose weight super quickly, and i don't like losing weight cos my boobs shrink :( hahahahha. i know people want that kind of metabolism, and i know i should be happy with that, and i am, because it means i don't even have to maintain my figure, and I know I'm lucky for that. but it also means that i'm hungry ALL the time, and though i should exercise to keep my heart healthy and other bits of me, because i don't need it for my appearance, i don't get motivated.
but on the other hand i would love to have a flat tummy.
sooo sit ups are cool
i heard skipping was really good too! i did it for like, a few days. haha. x
