There's a setback. The scale says I barely lost anything, and my new picture shows barely any change from the first one.
Does this mean this doesn't work? Not necessarily. I'm taking personal responsibility for this. I tend to procrastinate, which meant I would work out too late, and took more off days than I should have. I also didn't really exercise outside my comfort zone except for a few times. Okay for keeping in shape, but not good for losing weight. I didn't really watch what I ate as much as I should. But most importantly were the emotional and psychological reasons I gained weight in the first place, and I really had to sort a lot of that out this month.
So what might have made me just give up instead has made me more determined. It seems I do have to go above an hour a day, to make sure I burn enough calories, and I also have to start counting calories as well (I stated from the beginning I should take out fattening foods). Plus I also have Wii-compatible weights I'm adding for some of the games.
So this first month, wasn't quite a wash. It was just me showing myself I can do this. Now it's me actually doing this.
The games I worked out to this week:
* Monday: We Cheer 2
* Tuesday: Just Dance 2 (but for half an hour)
* Wednesday: Skip day
* Thursday: Gold's Gym Cardio Workout
* Friday: Gold's Gym Dance Workout
* Saturday: Skip day
* Sunday: Gold's Gym Cardio Workout (but for half an hour)
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
