Atkins Diet

I'm going to give it a try Monday. My mom has been nagging me but I also want to try it. Which sucks because I just got some Cinnamon Toast Crunch and other tasty carb filled goodies.

Also, my will power is not so good.

but if it works then I can go down a pant size and be all happy. I hope I don't loose anything in the top department but alas I hear that is the first to go. How ever getting to snack on bacon any time I want and not have to feel guilty? Total win.


Lets see how long I'll stick with this.

Yee Old Diet

Yeah... It's not pretty and it doesn't really work if your not running around like a little kid. I would love to know when I got so shy that I wouldn't even go out side and ride my bike. True my bike is bright neon pink, but still.... If I could ride it al la goth then I should be fine on it now right?

Yeah... next I should sell that bridge in Brooklyn that I have a share in...

I'm not on a diet per say. I watch what I eat but I still enjoy my self. My parents seem to think that they need to intervene on my behalf on almost a daily biases. I'm 28 and they act as if I'm an infant. I am to the point that I might just start swearing a blue streak at them each time they ask to see if they will just stop bothering. I don't think it will work though, I already rant at them for an hour after they nag me.

But the diet...

Two small pieces of bread with peanut butter, a slice of pizza/small sandwich/ cup of soup/sushi for lunch, a small snack, scrambled eggs/steak/something for dinner and then bed. it's defiantly not all that interesting but it seems to be working. my weight actually stayed stable during the holiday food fest so that made me happy.

I just hope that when I do add more activities to my day my hunger won't skyrocket like it usually does. Because that is such a pain. :-(

Zumba Wii Review pt2

I'm having tons of fun with this. And two things have become painfully odvious to me.

The first is that Zumba is very hard on the ankles. I had no idea how much the dancing would rely on my anckles and ouch. They don't hurt today and didn't hurt after I rested yesterday so I know it's mostly me bing out of shape. But still, ouch.

The second thing is there is only a 20min beginner selection. I would have preferred a 10 min introduction work out. I spent most of my time streching my sore legs and remembering how to breath. Again my own fault, but a 10min selection would have been nice.

Also, a warm up and stretch training would have been nice. They have a cooling off section that didn't realy register on the belt too well. and i feel my whole breathing and most of my musil pains would have been helped but a 5min warm up.

Over all I still love it. It'll be a cold day in hell before I prance around in front of my family, but I love the game.

Amber Alert

While the Amber Alert system was created due to a horrible tragedy, I really love to hear about when it works.

Today driving to work I passed one of our message signs and saw the Amber Alert. Just now my manager says they found the missing child because someone reconnised the car.

The Amber Alert is a fabulous system and I hope it will be continued to be used.

Zumba Wii Review

So, I requested the Zumba work out game for the Wii this holiday season. My mom can't follow it's onscrean directions to save her life (this is extreamly amusing btw) and my cousen started screaming at her husband for video taping her after she said to dance like you don't care.

The set up is very easy. Make a profile, strap the belt on, select your routine, select your profile and then slip the controller into the belt and away you go!

Keep in mind that you need a lot of space for this. At least 5 feet on each side so you don't walk into things/people/walls. and enugh space to back up about 5 feet as well. This is not like Dance Dance Revolution were you are on a designated area and just that area. This is real dancing.

I haven't had a chance to test out the mulity player options but it looks to be a good amount of fun. Again the space needed might make things difficult but no pain no gain. This could make for great Youtube videos.

The routines and training seem to run around 20 min each. You also have the option to unlock new areas and such. The down side is you can only have 4 or 6 profiles.

Over all I am loving it so far.
