Time to tone up the bod!

My uni friends and I have planned to go away to southeast Asia for a group adventure at the end of the year. To say we’re excited is an understatement! There’s about ten or eleven of us going and in a way it’ll be our last big bang as we finish uni and head into the real world. There’s no better way than celebrating the end of student life than travelling for a month or two in a foreign country.

The plan so far is to start in Thailand and go to the Full Moon party for New Years, spend a couple of weeks venturing around Thailand and then head to the next country (or two, or three). Other countries that have been tabled by the group are Vietnam (yes! vote from me), Cambodia (another yes!) and Laos. At the moment it’s a bit tricky as everyone has slightly different plans for the length of their trip and where they’d like to go. But really it doesn’t matter if we split up after a bit. Would just be nice for everyone to meet in Thailand for New Years and then go from there.

At the moment my plan is to leave for Thailand after Christmas and be there for New Years, spend a couple of weeks around Thailand and then head to Vietnam and/or Cambodia for another two or so weeks. I’m basically going to go with the flow, as long as I get to see at least two countries I’ll be a happy camper. My friend Chris in the UK is also planning to meet (first time I will have met him - story behind this… will fill you in at some stage… let’s just say nine years!!) us there and join us on the adventure, so I really hope he can make it!

So anyway… what’s this got to do with the bod?! Well, because it’s a hot, beachy type of country, I’m guessing we will be in our togs and small amounts of clothing most of the time. So it’s time to tone up! I’m at just over 73kg and I’d like to get to 65kg. Of course I’m going more on how my body looks, rather than the number… so we’ll see. I’ve been slack the last few weeks; although I have stayed the same weight. So now it’s serious body mode. Back into the exercise and less alcohol and rubbish food. I started off very well today, seeing as it was May 1st I thought it was perfect. Off for a run tomorrow morning!
