The art of weighing in...

(OK yes it's still Kal's turn...but he takes sooooo long and I have no life lol.)

I weighed myself this morning on the Wii. Now here's the thing...my place is being fumigated (nothing super gross just carpenter ants, house centipedes and most recent....earwigs *shudder*) so my scale at home is not available for me to weigh in on and I was forced to give up consistency for this week)

I actually weighed myself 3 times this morning just to get it right....before 8am I am pretty much useless :oP

WEIGH IN ATTEMPT ONE:
Half asleep Amanda figures out Kal's complicated tv system and somehow magically gets the wii working (HOW MANY IMPUT MODES DO YOU NEED....SERIOUSLY?!?!?!). SO I follow the annoying instructional voice and weigh myself....105.5kg (232.5 pounds.....NOW I'm awake!) I'm thinking THIS IS BULLSHIT!! lol. Then I realize that the wii board is on the shaggy type area rug.


WEIGH IN ATTEMPT TWO:
I move the board to hardwood floor, redo all the balance test stuff and then wait for it.......105kg (231.5 pounds!) NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!!! but then I realize that no one is home....so why am I weighing myself with clothes on? I'm not the naked type (almost a "nevernude" but I don't like jean cutoffs either lol), especially being naked in someone else's place...but hey...why not?

WEIGH IN ATTEMPT THREE
So I reboot the wii, get naked (in the middle of someone else's empty living room, 20 stories up in front of floor to ceiling windows), choose the third "clothing weight" option (+/-0.0kg) and ALAS......DRUMROLL PLEASE........104.75KG (230.9 pounds)  HELLZ YEAH!

In conclusion....the walking, Tim Horton's switch up and better food choices this week have made the difference. I'm happy with my results so far; slow and steady wins the race. Juicy confessions this week....I think I may have beaten Kal though because I've been pretty good!!! Also, don't forget that measurement day is tomorrow!

Happy Friday!

What's new?!?!

It's really Kal's turn and he has good stuff to tell you too!...but he's on the train right now so I'm just gonna give you a quick update!

I just wanted to announce:
I have successfully been able to replace my almost daily Medium Ice Cap with Iced Coffee.

It's been going well for three days now; I've transitioned nicely and already saved  almost 750 calories.

	MED REG ICED CAP (My Vice)		MED ICED COFFEE (with Milk)
Calories	360	vs.	110
Fat	15g	vs.	1g
Carbs	48g	vs.	22g
Sugar	47g	vs.	13g

I really am trying but I know if I go all gung-ho, I'll burn out like I've done every other time. The goal is slow sustainable change for the better.

Thanks for the comments and feedback guys (even when its stuff I don't want to hear but should) I am just happy the blog is being read and getting out there.

Today's Tid Bit about Kal: The term "OJ" referring to Orange Juice makes Kal uncomfortable ever since the OJ Simpson trial. No jokes. Ahhhh he is just so funny, even when he's not trying. Always makes me smile.

Sinful Indulgence: Our Weekly Confessions (6/20/10)

Kalon
I didn't do too badly this week! I stuck to my chocolate milk quota, but I did stray a couple of times with eating some candy.


Over this past week I had:

• ~15 or so homemade small double chocolate chips (1500 calories)
• 1 Starburst Original (220 calories)
• Delicious ribs with sauce that was probably not so great for me (+400 calories)
• ~14 Timbits .. in one sitting (980 calories)

For a grand total of  3100 calories. Pretty well a days worth of calories. Nice. On second thought, that isn't too great. This week will be better!

Dear blog, it's been 7 days since my last confession. Since the shared Candy kabob....it's only been down hill. I am NOT counting the calories or fat - I don't want to know (Ignorance is bliss) This week will be better!

• ICE CAPS - 5 in total (1 small, 3 medium, 1 large) - The large was a MISTAKE, but who am I to argue with the lovely ladies at Timothy Hortons????
• COOKIES - in addition to about a bakers dozen (13) of homemade cookies, I also polished off a 350 gram box of PC Decadent Chocolate Chip cookies and 2 Tom Horton's Strawberry shortcake cookies
• CHOCOLATE - 2 Reece Big Cup bars (In my defense, I shared the first one with my mom) and a Chunky Monkey alcoholic milkshake at TJ Baxters (also the supplier of Kal's ribs)
• CARBS -an entire box of Kraft dinner to my self for lunch on Thursday and snacked an entire box of no name seasoned crackers (Well I didn't even notice how much I ate, I couldn't tear my eyes away from GLEE, god that show is so great!)

 Final thoughts - You don't realize how easy it is to get carried away until you become accountable and add it all up. .......a box of cookies or timbits later, and we're both a little wiser. Can't believe we both lost weight this week (check out our progress updates!!!) We think the consequences with perch and wait to spring on us next week after we've been good.
