for those who've been asking

well, it's the eve of my birthday. i was asked about my fitness routine and so i'll lay it out for more than just one of you (you can thank reader "Me" for this post).

Monday: Run 1-2 miles on treadmill. 5 pullups. 140 situps. 140 second sustained ab hold. 150 ball situps. 5 limbers (backbend to bridge, stand back up). Then i do just over an hour of aerial circus training.

Tues: see monday. maybe i run a little further.

wednesday: 1 hour of yoga. then run 2 miles. pullups until i can't.140 situps. 140 second sustained ab hold. 150 ball situps. circuit weight set with leg press at 210lbs, pullups machine with 70lb support, rowing weights at 50lbs, quad weights at 60lbs, chest press at 10-15lbs: two or three sets of 11 reps each.

2 hours of practice, usually including handstands.

thursday: circuit traing class for 1 hour. go home. crash.

friday: as much i can make myself to at the gym. for example, yester i did intervals on the treadmill where i walked 5 minutes, ran five minutes, walked 4, ran 6, walked 3, ran seven, walk 2, ran 8. then i did pullups, abs, extra abs, bridges, straddle torture machine.

saturday: today i practiced handstands and bridges. i will probably bike around tonight.

i bike or walk most places and use lots of public transportation. so i get extra excercise all the time. if i feel extra flabby, i'll wear 1 or 5lb ankle weights for 5 hours per day when i'm out an about. just never run in ankle weights. it's sooo bad for your knees. Going dancing definitely burns calories too...

i try to take sundays off, just so i don't get sick.



oh, btw... i finally put myself in the pix.

the bones of it

yesterday i saw bones again. i was so happy i damn near cried. bones in my shoulders. bones in my chest. legs that touch less. more cheekbone. this is progress.

i spent most of my weekend living on very few calories, lots of water, and burning tons of calories running around in the cold and rain, dancing my ass off, and having lovely makeouts with a few very pretty boys.

i know my bones are closer to the surface now. i have sore spots where my the backs of my hipbones meet my back dimples. also, the front of my right hipbone feels like it's going to have a lovely bruise visible in a few days.

soon, i will take my pills and go to the gym. then i will go to training. and then i will come home and pass out again. i love the exhaustion. i love feeling light and empty. it's like coming home.

stay strong and think thin my lovelies.
