Oh, here's the marathon guide. I forgot I had already uploaded it to imgur. This isn't for cutting fat primarily, it's for increasing endurance. To cut fat, you should always walk/run for a minimum of 30 minutes to see any real results (unless the rest of your workout is first, in which case you should make sure you aren't in the heat, because you'll dehydrate much more quickly.)

Most cardio will also interfere a bit with gaining muscle, so the combination of intense aerobic training and compound movement strength exercises will succeed in reducing fat more effectively without worrying about gaining back too much weight in the form of muscle.

Incorporate more compound movements; for example, when you say single lifts, do you mean bicep curls? Because curls are pretty useless. I'd say replace curls with deadlifts, but if you don't have access to the gym, maybe replace it with more pushups. And the "lifts with both hands" I'm assuming are double arm dumbbell curls, which I would replace with clean and press, which will also hit more muscles in the body and cut fat more quickly. If that's your goal, anyway. You'll have to stretch your arms a little more before you start so you don't pull anything with the added strain to your arms. Side lifts I would probably replace with tricep dips, which you can do at home, and possibly some pullups, which again will help more than curls. If you can't do pullups at first, you can always jump up and let yourself down slowly to get started until you can pull yourself all the way up.

I could also send you an old marathon training guide that's designed to build your endurance and make other forms of aerobic exercise easier while greatly increasing the distance you can run.

What's your rest period between different exercises? What are your warm-ups, and what stretches do you do before them?

Oh, and maybe add another set of squats; maybe do one short set at the beginning and another at the end of the workout. Squats are OP.

Boyfriend Formal? Might want to fix that typo.

Also, I've never driven standard in my life because the opportunity has never presented itself.

To be fair, I'm a man, and I probably would prefer driving an automatic. Don't worry about it Shion: you're not the only one!

As an aside, being the girlfriend of a car mechanic with car loving friends isn't exactly ideal either

I could've sworn I had heard you over the phone before, but this sounds nothing like I remember. Maybe I imagined it.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD SHION

I sound French when I speak French

Hmm, you don't sound french. I feel as though I've been lied to.

:D
it r she on~

A tired drunk, apparently

Naw, I like you accent really. Though you do sound tired.

Went for a walk and did my weights yeserday.

My arms huuuuuuurt

Excellent Shion. I'm going to be getting back to mine this week. The last few weeks have been a bit ridiculous with weddings and some trips.

"physical activity with boyfriend" ;D ;D ;D

But no, seriously, good for you, shion. I really need to make more of an effort as well.

Did my lifting for today. My arms hurt like crazy and it was awful because I was sore from lifting yesterday. Tennis is going to be fun tomorrow.

Thanks guys . That's really sweet. I guess I was just hoping I could relate to the character more, but I don't know what I was expecting with a comedy show like that :P.

I actually really like Zooey Deschanel. I think she's pretty and I really like her voice.

It's got Zooey Deschanel. I swear that girl's face is constantly in a 'teehee, look at me, I'm so ditzy and innocent' fixation. I avoid her like the plague.

You are ten times better than her. Trust me Shion. I'd rather spend my time with you than that typecast actress.

Trust me, being around you would be a blast!

Well you're an attractive girl in your 20's who's cute and funny to be around too.

I know that feel. I take meds for my social anxiety though, and I go from wanting to curl up into a ball to being super charismatic.

They are. I just feel awkward and uncomfortable and now I'm sad I ruined his dinner because we had to leave early.

:D
You'll get used to how his family and their behaviour soon enough. Do they accept you? If so, it's a good sign and stuff.

Edit: wtf hella typo insanity

So I got lost and couldn't find the dinner . Oh well.
