New ice skates + swimming = new healthier me

My current obsession is not losing weight, but getting fit! This can only be a good thing. Whether I'll do it or not is another thing, though (when I'm motivated it's extreme but lasts about 2 seconds

I've really been trying to channel the ED thing towards being healthy and fit instead of being skinny.
I've always loved working out but now that I'm getting way more into it and doing more challenging things I'm really enjoying it a lot.

Yeah, I know you've gotten into the exercise/fitness thing recently and it has kind of inspired me. I mean, I already wanted to get fit but it was cool seeing one of your vids in particular, talking about all your exercise, and also in your vids I can clearly see you toning up and that's good motivation for me!! I really want to be toned, no wobbly bits! Your arms in particular look really great (I'm sure the rest of you does too but obviously you don't post videos with a whole body shot).

I'm glad you're enjoying your new lifestyle, it really suits you and if it takes the focus away from the ED it can only be good!! I'm hoping I'll be able to stay as motivated as you have been. I think with the skating it'll be easier cos I genuinely really love it so far!!

im the same - ive really hit a "fit and healthy obsession" as opposed to ZoMg StArVeEEE!!1 It sounds loser-ish but I've been really motivated recently and then spending time with healthy people, and the inspirational Erin, has really got me going.

Bio-oil those scars! I think youve seen how my legs once looked, they're almost all white now and I can go swim without feeling too self-concious over them :)

Bio-oil? What's that then? (thing is I have no money as all my money is pledged towards my skating habits hehe). I'm sure the scars will fade enough withint a week (wishful thinking maybe). They're not terrible and I know they're not permanent, they just heal so slowly. I found out the saunas are seperate so actually I'm not too worried, will just get staight into the pool when I'm with Enric and not hang about chatting at the side of pool, or something. (we visited the place today, it's so huge and I'm really excited to go once my swimming costume arrives!)

Ahh.. it's so great to have a healthy focus, isn't it! You're doing so amazingly at sticking to it, I'm really pleased for you. I think the key really is to find something you really love doing. Gyms are always boring so no wonder we don't get excited about them. How are your classes going by the way, are you learning lots and improving?
