Week 2, Day 2

Well I failed epically last night. I ate pretty healthy all day but then when it came around to about 8pm and I was hungry, I reached for the naughtiest thing in the fridge: pepperoni pizza and chicken wings. This was terrible for two reasons: it's pizza and wings, AND I failed at staying pescetarian. Just one slip up in over a week, meat-wise. So that's not that bad. But what IS that bad???

CHICKEN WINGS ARE FIVE POINTS EACH!!! EACH!!! So I had four, which means that just the four chicken wings alone were 20 points. EPIC FAIL. I should have looked it up before I pulled them out of the fridge. Then I probably would not have eaten them.

It's too bad I don't live alone, because then I could control the contents of the fridge and when I feel like splurging, still be held to, like, a Toaster Strudel (4 points) as opposed to buttered popcorn (10 points). UGH. I already wiped out all of my FLEX points for the week with that little indiscretion. And then one more. Maybe I'll be good all week and not have failed so epically in the end.

So I'm going to Wii Fit for at least two hours today. At least 500 calories, preferably more. We'll see how long I can keep going. I'm not looking forward to my body test today because I know my little BMI line is going to go back up because of this.

Week 2, Day 1

My BMI score on the Wii Fit has gone down for the last two days. LET'S KEEP THIS TREND GOING!!!! I like the daily body test because it lets you see daily progress (or lack thereof) and it motivates you each day to do more exercise and eat even better to see how you can score better on the body test.

Day 5

Ok so figuring out the points values for the In-n-Out yesterday was too hard, so I just left it. I'm starting week 2 tomorrow, anyway. I'll try to make Week 2 more successful than my 5-day Week 1.

So today I discovered Free Step on the Wii. It counts your steps on the board while you watch TV. It isn't as rewarding or intense as Advanced Step but it's good for when there's too much good stuff on TV!! It times you for however long you set and then gives you a pace you can hear from the remote and adjust faster or slower as you please. I'll probably use this, but I don't want it to take the place of at least 30 min of more intense cardio using Advanced Step or Hula Hoop.
