Well, this morning the blog actually did its job already. Because I only have this ONE day off before I start school and I have soooo much to do, I was sorely tempted this morning to say the lame-o "I'll start working out tomorrow....wah wah waaa". Well I knew I would have to come on here and write the lame excuse that would have come with not going to the gym and gettin' my stank on this morning so I went.
One hour hard cardio. 30 minutes mostly arm and upper legs weight training. So there you go. Day one, so far, calories consumed vs. calories burned: 300 consumed 600 burned. Good start for so early. Yay me!
But it's gonna be "fun" fitting in all the things I still have left to do before the semester starts tomorrow. Time to go get on it.

Fitday
I've used Fitday.com in the past to caluculate how I was doing with eating vs. exercise. It is a place you can enter what you do, down to the lowest activity, and what you eat. It helps you know if you're doing the whole "burn 500 calories a day more than you consume" thing. That's really what I use it for, and also to keep me honest about what I'm putting in my mouth.
I just went into it, logged in, updated my weight & goal. And I didn't notice it until afterwards but there was an ad for gastric surgery on one side of the page. Okay, I know I'm overweight, but thanks, Fitday. Thanks for the suggestion there. I don't think that surgery is recommended quite yet.
I know it's a great option for people who just can't find it in them to do the exercise thing, and for whom what they do does not work. But I know for a fact that if I workout properly & eat properly I will lose the weight. And I've cleared out the time so I have no more excuses.
Go away with your "targeted marketing."

Hula Hooping
M--, my friend who has been going to bellydancing with me, suggested we go to the Hula Hoop class on Sunday (today). We took the girls-- Maia & M--'s daughter, and went. It was super fun.
I've never been able to Hula Hoop in my whole life. But with the big giant, heavy hoop, I was able to do it for quite some time. It was super fun. I can walk with it a little bit, and attempted to do a little hand trickery.
It's awesome exercise. Really aerobic, good for the core/tummy muscles and upper legs. We did it for about an hour.
I need to get the right kind of hoop, because it makes a difference. I can't do it with the light little ones that you can get at the regular store. But it's my fifth day activity, now. I have four other days lined up, and this makes five full days of concentrated workout plan. Yay! I'll have to check fitday to see how many calories it burns, but I know it was good because I'm tired.
Maia did pretty well too. What's greatest about fitness is that it is also good for your kids....
