Bored, so I'm reviving this thread. It's been almost two months, and here I am with new photos... just keep in mind I've already eaten, so take that into account...
Honestly, I'm pretty annoyed with myself because I haven't run for EXACTLY one month. 😢The heat is brutal, I can't face getting up early, and at night I'm busy writing my thesis and starting driving school. I just don't have the energy to run. 😢
I don't think my body has "deteriorated" much during this month, but I shouldn't be taking such long breaks. Usually, I spend the summer surfing and swimming, then from September 1st to June 15th, I'm running. (And yeah, I actually run through the snow during New Year's and Christmas and all that kind of thing 😁).
Without running, I feel soft, gross, and useless. Nothing I can do while the heatwave hits. For another month, I'll just be out there surfing like crazy and swimming in the ocean, then on the 9th, I'm back to running. 😢
Hopefully, my body won't hold this next month and a half of no running against me...

Here are the pics:

Sorry about the dirty mirror; it's in my parents' room. Between cleaning my own room, the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and EVERYTHING else, I don't have the headspace to clean theirs too. 😁

Can someone more experienced tell me—is it okay if I don't run until September 1st? If I swap running for surfing and swimming instead, since the heat makes running impossible... would a little break work? Maybe some squats, lunges, and stuff at home 🙂?

For the girls asking about glutes and legs... these photos are from 9 months ago. I haven't changed much; actually lost maybe a pound or two, but that's about it. There you go. 😁

Hey everyone, I need some help!
So, this was me back in the summer of 2009. I haven't changed much—still 5'4" and 118 lbs... measurements are 36-25-35...
I want to tone my arms. Not sure if you can see them clearly, but after 7 years of playing tennis, I feel like they're too strong. I'd like to slim them down a bit more. My stomach looks bloated because I took this right after a BBQ 😁 (yum, chicken, ribs, roasted potatoes, and tomato salad), so it’s just temporary bloating, but normally it's flat. I don't have visible abs—not that I want them, it's not really my vibe—but my waist is 25 inches and I can't seem to get it down to 23...
Anyway, my routine is Monday, Wednesday, Friday: training plus a 45-minute steady run along the riverbank 5.0 miles without stopping. Other days—Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday—I go rollerblading, or if I'm staying in, I do push-ups and light dumbbell work. Lots of reps with light weights (about 3 lbs) just to work on my arms. That's it. If anyone has other ideas on what I should fix, please comment. Most importantly, tell me: is my workout okay?
Here are the photos. Thanks in advance.

The arms—I was holding something in my hand, which affects how it looks, but to me, they look too big.😢

So, let me know what you think about my arms and what exercises I should do for them.😢
