so it's weekly weigh-in thursday. not so good this week.
week 4: 99
week 3: 98
week 2: 101
week 1: 100 (baseline)
(refer to previous posts: week 3, 2, 1).
could have a bunch of excuses, but i'll just say, it's time to step it up. :) i'm not seeing any difference after three weeks of wii-ercize.
i did reach pro boxing status today. woo. i figured out a new move too. i should probably double up my wii boxing time from 20 minutes or so to 40. although after a couple of games the wii usually encourages you to take a break. hahaha.
this weekend i played the rayman raving rabbits game & it's fucking awesome. it might be the best one i've played yet. wario ware is growing on me, but the multi-player mode isn't all that to me. maybe once we can get another wand and do 2+ players it'll get more fun. me & nathan tried out the rampage game that nathan's sister got him. that game was pretty fun. it'll probably be good on multi-player as well.
i gotta get ready for work, promise to update more later on.
- nic.

week 3. not much time to write (i'm trying to get out of my apartment by 8--i'm drivin' down to santa maria), so here's the results:
week 3: 98
week 2: 101
week 1: 100* (baseline, *not actual weight, obviously.)
(refer to previous posts: week 2, week 1.)
not bad, a loss of 3 lbs this week. sweet. i'm still chuggin' away at the wii play. got the new wario ware: smooth moves game. i finally beat the game and unlocked the mult-player mode yesterday (it took about 3 different occasions to finally pull it off). i'm off to visit my sister in santa maria for a day & a half, so i'm loading my mii on the wand and i'm gonna bring wario w/ me so we can test out the multi-player mode. the game itself isnt exactly what i thought (i thought i'd be jumping around more like boxing), but it's pretty fuckin' cool. the graphics are a really cool combo of black & white film noir-esque drawings & hella cute japanese anime.

valentines day was good. i took the day off and hung out with nate on his break from work. then i cooked us a nice dinner. it was a cute lil' valentines day, satisfying. we also made cookies. check it out:

today's thursday, which means... weight check time. not much difference after a week longs wii-workout.
week 2: 101
week 1: 100 (baseline)
(remember i'm not putting my ACTUAL weight, maybe once i lose some, but for now, baseline weight is at a 100 lb lie).
so i gained 1 lb, which hopefully means that i'm building muscle and loosing fat. my arms have been sore all week from boxing, so that's a good thing. i'm gonna try to go jogging twice a week (once the rain lets up).
i also signed up for the self magazine challenge (online). i signed up last year too but didnt do much with it. because they have some good low-cal/low-fat recipes i'm gonna check out, and they send you little work-out routines, etc. we'll see how i do with that.
i bought the new wii game: wario ware: smooth moves & so far i'm a little disappointed because i thought i would be moving around more than i am. though i've only used single-player mode & i'm assuming the 2+ player mode will be a little more active, plus i'm still in the process of unlocking a lot of the games. it's pretty cool japanese anime style graphics though. the look of the game is definitely cool.
ok. time for work.

headaches are horrible. horrible. i've been getting really bad headaches over the last three days that pretty much equates to me not being able to do anything except hold my head and rub my temples in extreme pain. i take advil & drink lots of water and it will only go away for an hour or two.
any way... so basically haven't been up to too much the last few days. i've seen a bunch of movies: pan's labrynth (amazing!!! really really good fantasy story), music & lyrics (pretty cute--and loads better than any of the romantic comedies i've seen recently), and volver (also really good. strong female characters, but not a chick-flick--don't get the two confused. men should really go & see movies like this).
obviously i lost on my super bowl bets, so that was totally lame. now i just gotta hope that the sharks win the stanley cup, & i'll win my 50 bucks.
so i've been keeping up with the wii playing. the last couple of days i haven't played as much because of my brain tumor, better known as mind-numbing headaches. i'm completely obsessed with the boxing training games, my arms are so sore.

an hour of wii boxing = an in shape me?
0 Comments Published by n. on Friday, February 02, 2007 at 8:05 AM.
that's the plan at least. i want to lose weight. i want to get more in shape. i feel blobby. so my plan as of yesterday is to start by playing that wii at least an hour a day. tyler inspired me because he told me that some guy dropped 2 pants sizes playing the wii an hour a day (so he reports on his website). so what the hell. i will give it a shot.
i've been playing a couple of games of boxing, some tennis and some wii fitness practice games. the boxing definitely gets the heart rate goin' and it works my arms (which really need to be worked). i've also been riding my exercise bike and doing some yoga/weight lifts.
i will gradually build up my exercise routine when it needs to be more challenging. for instance--i may play 5-6 games in the next day or two, instead of the three i played this morning. i also might try to venture outside, maybe play actual tennis, basketball or go hiking/jogging once in awhile.
without giving away my actual weight (because that would just be too damaging to my self-esteem) lets just say my baseline starting weight is 100 lbs. (obviously untrue--but it's an easy number to measure gain/loss.)
i will weigh myself one a week, because otherwise you just get obsessed and complain... why isn't anything happening!!!!! damnit! since i weighed myself yesterday, i will keep it to every thursday. that way i dont have to feel bad about vegging out on the weekend and feelin' blobby come monday (cuz damn that super bowl sunday weekend!).
thursday baseline (week 1) = 100 lbs.
we'll see how this goes. i'm also going to try and work on little things about my eating patterns (though i think i've been doin' alright, not eating out as much, hardly drinkin', etc).
mood: awake
music: jimmy eat world- clarity.
