Just got back from the gym, I did a lot of sweating. I burned about 500 calories in 40 minutes. I'm surprising myself at how fast I'm getting without getting tired. x.x

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #651 on:** June 16, 2009, 05:22:27 pm »

i'm getting my bf to start running with me 2mrrw too! yay i'm soo happy!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #652 on:** June 16, 2009, 05:27:06 pm »

I found out that I really don't need to loose anything. The costume fits perfectly and I look pretty good in it. I would like to lose a little fat in my thighs still. I plan on eating healthy and doing a little bit of exercise to work that off.

Arumi · « **Reply #653 on:** June 16, 2009, 05:47:46 pm »

Honestly, I'm not one for being outside very often, and don't have money for a gym, so I actually started to do DDR the other day, and plan on doing it each day to at least work on the 'jogging' part. XD It'll be nice to be able to play on standard again. It also helps that I run up and down my stairs constantly while cleaning x.X
now to figure out something around the house I can use for weight lifting!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #654 on:** June 16, 2009, 06:06:11 pm »

A gallon of water or milk would work really well. A backpack full of books. There are lots of things.

Sayda · « **Reply #655 on:** June 16, 2009, 07:54:10 pm »

So you got the Costume then Nikki? That's awesome! I can't wait to see it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #656 on:** June 16, 2009, 07:57:44 pm »

Yeah i got it. I have been making a few changes too it. I am quite happy with the way it looks. The boots are done now, and I just need to attach the sleeves and add the belt across the chest.

Sayda · « **Reply #657 on:** June 16, 2009, 08:03:15 pm »

Awesome! You should post pictures when you're done.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #658 on:** June 16, 2009, 08:04:45 pm »

A little off topic but here. I put the rest of it on and post a picture in a minute.

Mentally Hilarious · « **Reply #659 on:** June 16, 2009, 08:14:14 pm »

Thats so wicked cool!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #660 on:** June 16, 2009, 08:16:43 pm »

Alright here we go. This is the costume I am trying to get in shape for. I will be bound differently. You wont see anything.

Sayda · « **Reply #661 on:** June 16, 2009, 08:20:35 pm »

It does look awesome! I'm excited to see it complete!

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #662 on:** June 16, 2009, 09:25:00 pm »

D: i hurt myself at work TT_TT dang flabet. now I got four nasty bruises on my legs... : / working out can be painful. that milk was getting mighty heavy after a while *sighs* oh well I'll just skip the strength training tonight.

why do my cosplays have to be so skinny with nice arm muscles?

nikki: ._. well mione arent as revealing as that! good luck xD not like you need to lose much your very pretty already

nikkiolie · « **Reply #663 on:** June 16, 2009, 09:33:27 pm »

Not a whole lot. I would like to lose a little fat on the inside of my thighs, but it isn't horrible as is.

Hidamari · « **Reply #664 on:** June 16, 2009, 09:39:23 pm »

What's funny is that I notice that about my legs every time I look at them, but didn't notice one bit until you said anything.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #665 on:** June 16, 2009, 09:51:18 pm »

Yeah it is just something I am self conscious about. I only need to lose about an inch for them to look much much better. So running and eating less fatty foods will do that for me.

Hidamari · « **Reply #666 on:** June 16, 2009, 10:32:49 pm »

You can do it~

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #667 on:** June 16, 2009, 10:43:36 pm »

See, I started excercizing three months ago. I'm 15 toward my goal. It's nice. I'm at that point where I feel sluggish if I don't get at least an hour walk every morning.

Sakis01 · « **Reply #668 on:** June 17, 2009, 12:14:37 am »

What's a good time to start the every morning run?

Sayda · « **Reply #669 on:** June 17, 2009, 02:00:55 am »

It really just depends on what time you want to get up. If it's going to be hot out, you should probably go earlier on. Like before 10. Otherwise I don't think it matters too much.

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #670 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:36:08 am »

Its been pretty warm but not too bad, I usually start at 10 and go around until I get tired. I get home between 11:30 and 1 typically.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #671 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:42:00 am »

Just got a tattoo started yesterday, so I won't be working out for a few days. Shouldn't do me too much harm though.

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #672 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:43:05 am »

What's the tattoo of?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #673 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:46:01 am »

I got a tentacle sleeve. ^_^ Tentacles climbing up my left arm

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #674 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:47:27 am »

That sounds awesome.
I'd never be able to get a tattoo. I'm terrified of needles.
I held my breath and closed my eyes when I got my cartilage pierced.
And that wasn't even that bad. XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #675 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:50:49 am »

Well, tattoos definitely aren't for everyone. There's as much to be said for being tattoo-free as there is for being tattooed. Both have their benefits and can be awesome. ^_^

But yeah, if you don't like needles, tattooing would be a difficult thing for you, lol.

And thanks, I'll get some pics up here eventually. Right now it is just the outline, but I'm gonna get it colored in a few weeks.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #676 on:** June 17, 2009, 09:17:33 am »

Devin got a tattoo too. Its of the meteor from ff vii

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #677 on:** June 17, 2009, 09:23:12 am »

Yay! I love that symbol and can't get enough of it. How's it look?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #678 on:** June 17, 2009, 09:25:15 am »

I haven't seen it yet, she just told me about it.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #679 on:** June 17, 2009, 02:01:48 pm »

Schools dooooooooone. I'm going to work out for an hour tonight as celebration.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #687 on:** June 17, 2009, 07:29:01 pm »

I walked so much today. Like so much and I didn't eat to much either. I drank plenty of water and actually bought some cool things at a thrift store but sheesh! my legs are so freaking sore. X_X

I feel I did well today. tomorrow I'll be exercising by helping fix the roof while trying to work on cosplay. >_>

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #688 on:** June 17, 2009, 07:58:18 pm »

I think all I've had to eat today is an orange. Oops.
I walked 3+ miles though, so yay.

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #689 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:55:57 pm »

man i feel good even tho i just started working out its amazing! lol starting everyday i'm gonna run but ya next week is work too! thats practically labor work sooo that would be a good work out. i'll be 25 lbs lighter by august, i know it!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #690 on:** June 17, 2009, 09:59:02 pm »

*sigh* this seems so typically. Well tonight while playing soccer I sprained my ankle, so not much exercising for a while for me =/

Walk far enough and it's pretty much ridiculous. After last weekend, I think I'm going to start hiking this summer as part of my conditioning for DDR. Even if it doesn't actually help me get better, my legs look incredible right now, and I want to keep them that way.

Teasel · « **Reply #692 on:** June 18, 2009, 01:41:18 am »

NNNOOOOOO! Grandma! Why did you have to come to town?!?! It's impossible for me to get in shape or lose weight when you are around!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #693 on:** June 18, 2009, 09:32:45 am »

I have to eat healthy the rest of this week. I must avoid fast food >_<

Sayda · « **Reply #694 on:** June 18, 2009, 11:19:29 am »

I almost never eat fast food. Maybe once every two or three months, but that's it. x.x I've lost 5 pounds so far, which is exciting, I can already see results. Today I'm going to exercise in Portland with my girlfriend, we always seem to keep going and going when we work together. XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #695 on:** June 18, 2009, 11:41:16 am »

I don't eat it too much but when I work more than 6 hours its just easier to go get food then make a lunch before I go. But I have been good about that lately. I have a good lunch planed for today P:

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #696 on:** June 18, 2009, 12:08:52 pm »

knee still hurts to bad to run *grumbles*

Sayda · « **Reply #697 on:** June 18, 2009, 05:28:59 pm »

Yeah that's true, it would be easier. XD I'm not going to exercise today, I'm spending it filling out my fafsa and turning in applications and resumes, instead.

kylite · « **Reply #698 on:** June 18, 2009, 05:34:10 pm »

*sound of footsteps on a tile floor percede kylite walking into the room waving a flashlight around slowly*

Just stopping in to make sure all is going well in here

*clicks off the flashlight and walks away whistleing the theme from cowboy bebop*
