Hey guys! Is it cool if I join this thread even if my goal isn't weight loss? I'm very happy with my weight right now, my problem is that I have a tendency to let my fitness routine slide as soon as my life starts getting busy or stressful. I was in fantastic shape this summer but since school started in September I've been letting exercise slide, and I'm currently what you would call skinny fat. I look good, but I sure as hell don't feel good.
I normally do Pilates from a DVD I have, and I did 10 minutes of abs, 10 minutes of thighs and 10 of stretches just now and good god am I out of shape. I don't workout in gyms, it's never been my thing and I can't afford a gym membership right now. My fitness goals are to work up to doing 50 minutes of Pilates every other day within the next few weeks, and to alternate that with cardio... somehow. That's an issue for me, I have bad knees and running is so hard on them. I have to think on that one.
My diet is pretty decent right now, but there are a few things I want to tweak. I need to be eating more fresh vegetables, I have frozen veggies or in stuff I've cooked a lot, but I need more fresh stuff. I also need to cut back on sugar a bit. And I'm trying to eat less meat, so finding alternative protein sources is one of my current challenges.
