I'm getting lazy and fat again. Well, actually I've BEEN fat (verging on obese according to several BMI indexes I've read). So I've decided to up my exercise routine. Make it more routine-y, I guess.



Current weight: 165 pounds.
Goal weight: 120 pounds

Exercise: running on treadmill
Total calories: 265
Current time/speed: 20 minutes/5.5 mph (running) and 10 minutes/1.5 mph (cool down)
Goal time/speed: 30 minutes/6mph

Food eaten:

Breakfast: 1 bowl cereal/milk, 2 cups coffee/milk/sugar, orange juice

Lunch: spaghetti with sauce, parmesan cheese

Dinner: 6 jalepeno poppers (with cream cheese and bacon wrappers)

Snacks: 1 small bowl dry cereal. 1 cup yogurt. 1 peach. Raw broccoli (good!) with ranch dip (bad!) 1 cup milk. 1 cut OJ.

Alcoholic drinks: 2.5 beers.


I am so not going to add the calories up for all of that. But, no doubt, it more then counteracted the good of running. At least I didn't eat out.

I'm about 5'3. I'm actually about an inch shorter then my dad, lol. (Mom's about 5'7 or '8, I think. What are you, Mom?)

I exercise semi-regularly since I actually have trouble sleeping if I don't so this more about increasing the number of times I workout a week,.

I might not actually get to 120 since I build muscle easily, which is totally okay by me since muscle is leaner then fat.

Hah, how good am I? I was gonna say 5'3" but I second guessed and gave a range. :p Kudos for choosing a healthy goal, instead of attempting to achieve the hungry starlet look. ;)

I've got 50lbs to lose myself. *sigh* I bear it really well, no one believes I'm more than 20lbs overweight. Still, it's bad for me, and I've been doing my best to get healthy again.

Your whole family is on the shorter side... erm, wait, I don't know your ethnic background, maybe you're tall, lol! I'm the shortest one in my family at 5'6". :o

Well, Mom's not short, she's about as tall as the average American male, lol. She says that she jumped into the short end of the gene pool when she married Dad. My sister's shorter then I am, though, and she's the ex-Marine!

LOL, I'm the typical white girl. (Actually I once wrote a short story where it turned out that my dad was a dwarf. Not the Little Person type. The Tolkeinish type. My dad's a rock hound who was working a small mine for crystals at the time, so it totally made sense. Maybe I should post it sometime.)

Your sister is an ex-Marine? Phew, that's... scary and cool. :)

Oh yeah that sounds like a terrifically fun story. You should post!
