Workin’ out…
Yeah, I did what everyone else does at this time of year. I decided to get into better shape. I’ve already cut out/down my Coke intake from 3-5 cans a day to zero-1. I thought I could eliminate Coke completely but my body screams for the sugar. Diet sodas don’t stop the urge. Still, that’s around 600 calories a day I was consuming right there. According to experts there’s 3,500 calories per pound so just cutting that equals over a pound a week.
As for excersize, I’ve started a nightly workout using (now don’t say it, I know I know) Dance Dance Revolution on our Xbox. It’s got a workout mode that keeps track of calories burned from day-to-day. I’ve been trying to get in around 45 minutes a day on it and am averaging about 500 caolries burned per workout. I suck mightily at it but can beat my wife about 50% of the time. I’ve also been doing the requisite pushups and situps that all excersize programs seem to need.
I’ve never had a problem with the way I look. Yeah, I’m a bit overweight but I never cared. ‘You think I’m overweight? That’s your problem.’ My weight has remained the same/stable for about 10 years or more. I’d just like to lose about 40 pounds over the next few months and maybe drop a size or two in jeans.
Anyone out there wanna be a weightloss buddy?
