shape up for summer

the four week long 'shape up for summer' programme started at my gym today. they have a board with pictures of all the exercises so you don't have to feel stupid. i had my fat measured - 28.1% apparently - that's actually not that bad. although i think the recommended percentage is 21 - 25. or something like that anyway. so if i manage to get 3.1% down, i'll be in the healthy range. that would mean i'd have to lose 2.015 kg of fat in four weeks. doable? well, even if i don't lose that much in four weeks, i can continue losing the fat after my boob job and get it right down.

now, the exercises. the workout number one for this week started with wide grip pull ups. jesus. i don't think i've done this in my entire life. they actually have a machine that assists you in doing these, i'm just going to say that it had to assist me a lot. then there were relatively normal exercises like chest press and lateral pulldown. and then... there was shoulder press. honestly, i can't do that. i started with 20 kg. i did two reps. i gradually went down to 5 kg (the machine wouldn't let me go any lower) and i could do about seven reps. after all these arm and shoulder things, my arms were shaking. seriously.
then there was a bit of cardio - rowing. 8 reps - 1 min fast 2 min slow. i liked that. it kinda tricks you into believing you only work out 1/3 of the time.

i hope i'll be able to lift a piece of paper tomorrow.

i paid for my boob job today. yay! well, yay as in it's getting really close. not as in im so happy i've spent so much money.
