Gained about 2 lbs. Great. But I got an e-reader (it was on sale so I got it for $100 and it comes with 100 preloaded books) so since I was 147 this morning my goal is to be down to 137 before I can use it. Preferably in 4 weeks though and I'm not going to go near the scale until the 4 weeks is up.

Hopefully I'm not pregnant so I can actually keep dieting. My mom insists I am though because I've been having strange cravings and my sense of smell is like, major right now. I couldn't go into the cleaning section when we went grocery shopping because the smell almost made me throw up and I can actually smell my hamsters. Normally I can't smell them unless I'm cleaning them. But my periods are irregular. I'm on day 40 now which is the longest I've been on this year since the longest so far was 35 but 5 days is nothing when it comes to irregular periods right?

Tony Little...

...is annoying. I try to get a rough estimate of the calories they burn and all that comes up is Gazelle Edge and Elliptical & Cross Trainer Machines. Does anyone know what those things are and what they do and why they're all over the place but the calories for his videos aren't anywhere?

hmmm...

So I used outdoor challenge for 2 hours today. I got 9928 ap. I think I may have burned about 500 cals but I'm not sure...but 1 calorie for every 20 ap makes it sound about right because with the running ones each ap was a step and 20 steps is about 1 cal... Maybe I'll wear a pedometer for a rough estimate?

now I don't want to weigh myself monday since I don't feel like I did good this week and I don't want to get discouraged.
So for the next 2 weeks starting monday I'm going to try this (below), then weigh/measure and pics at the end.

2 ltrs water
1200-1500 cals. plan meals the night before (if possible).
do something every hour. I'm on my computer a lot since I haven't been able to find a job so every hour or so I'm thinking of jogging in place for 30 seconds and jumping jacks for 30 seconds 5 times (I heard doing stuff like that can burst your metabolism?Not sure on that since I can't find anything but it burns a few extra calories at the very least)

M - 60-120 mins wii
30 min walk

T - 60 mins wii
30 min walk/run

W - 30-60 mins walking

T - 60 mins wii

F - 60-120 mins wii

S - 30-60 mins walking

how many calories does active life: outdoor challenge burn (roughly) in 1/2 an hour (for around 145lbs)? Any chance someone knows?

I haven't been doing much the last couple days. I haven't counted calories and ate cr*p (kfc unfortunately and it didn't make me throw up like it has before). But I did help my sister move yesterday and she loaned me outdoor challenge. So it gives me something fun to do until she wants it back. And it must burn more calories than the wii fit does since I get all hot, sweaty and wind up having an asthma attack. With the wii fit I only get damp and have no problems with my bleeding. And even though I was planning on attempting to run more, I haven't in 2 days. But I have a meal plan for tomorrow and it looks like it should be quite filling and the junk food is pretty much gone. Although I ate an entire cake in 2 days (I think it was roughly 9x9 inches?). But since that's gone I no longer have any chocolate to tempt me. You'd think since my mom is trying to lose weight as well she wouldn't keep buying us junk food...

So I've thought of a fitness goal. I've got weight goals, I've got calorie goals, I need a fitness goal.

So today I went for a walk/run with my mom, almost passed out from not being able to breath (maybe try a couple puffs of inhaler before I go out next time?) and it was 23 mins, 1.26 miles at 3.3mph. My goal: Being able to do this route in 12-13 mins, or being able to run at 6mph by sept 1st (which is about 13 weeks so increase by about 0.2 mph each week) and going for a walk/run a min of 3 times a week.

I'm thinking of trying to learn how to run. I never have before. When I had gym class when I was younger I either skipped or had to sit out because I didn't have gym clothes or shoes or had broken bone. So any tips? That don't require money....

Does anyone think sparkling water could be considered water? I grabbed a bottle thinking it was just flavoured water but apparently it was sparkling.

And I bought a new hamster the other day and she has 7 babies :)
As long as she doesn't eat them... They're only about 2 days old
