I had a good workout yesterday, 2 miles on the elliptical machine (28 minutes) a quarter mile uphill at a run on the treadmill (nearly killed me) lifted weights (20 reps 80-100 pounds) and crunches and leg lists (as many as I could do in 15 minutes).

After supper, I wanted to do some nice partial crunches, to work the upper abdominal a bit as they didn’t feel as worked out as the rest of my gut.  NiteGirl would not let me, she went so far as sitting on my chest to stop me.  I ended up doing them with her on my waist, but it was annoying that she was stopping me from getting exercise I need.

Her point was that I was working too hard (I didn’t feel too tired or sore to do it, why not) but she relented to let me get some exercise.  She got some too, and apparently fell asleep later on.  I fell dead asleep soon after she was done.

We took a walk in the park tonight, as it is such a nice night.
This group of people started following us, they stopped when we stopped.  We were walking REALLY slow, it was odd that they stayed behind us.

Anyway, I started watching them when the stopped following us, they moved like a flock of birds; one saw something and they all just followed.  It was very very strange.

After Jen woke me up in the middle of the night for the second night in a row, I just couldn’t get up at 4:30 for the Gym… which I hate.

I only took in about 1700 calories and burned about 2500 in straight exercise over the past 24 hours, so I’ve made a positive move any way you look at it.

Tomorrow the plan is to get up early and head to the local gym at my house then do whatever (probably go picture hunting) for the rest of the day.  I’m gonna be selling a bunch more books too, oh well.

If I don’t remember until after the fact, I’ll be heading to the 5 Mile race on Sunday to take pictures of the runners, should be spiff.

Argh, I’ve been sticking my feet in my mouth these past few days on an ongoing basis, I really gotta get control of my reactionary wit.

I’m looking at getting the over the counter version of Xenical: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlistat

It’s supposedly due in early summer.  Which means I’ll have to stock up before I leave the US of A.

It’s called Alli.  I’ve been on it before, you have to plan your day around it as it forces you to go to the bathroom more, and you have to avoid fatty foods or you fart grease.  I know that this was an indelicate description, but I really did fart out stuff that vaguely smelled like KFC and looked like liquid cooking oil.  It happened while I was playing Project IGI, I farted then realized that I was warm.  I didn’t feel anything, but I had farted out grease.

So yeah, I’ll be careful.

I’m about 112 pounds above the weight I was when I entered grade 12, for those who care that was around 220 pounds.  I want to get down to that weight, so I have a ways to go.

I’ve upped my vitamin B12 and B6 intake, along with an extra supplement of vitamin C and various heart health drugs, I’ve read that B12 and B6 jack up your heart and thyroid functions, which I hope leads to more efficient fat burning.  NiteGirl and I are trying to stick to a low fat diet, keeping our calorie intake below 1800 calories a day.

I’m tracking myself on traineo and relying on friends and family to keep me on the straight and narrow.

My goal is to get below 300 quickly, wish me luck.

NiteGirl is sick and needed medicine:

“Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic used to treat or prevent certain infections caused by bacteria. Ciprofloxacin is also used to treat or prevent anthrax in people who may have been exposed to anthrax germs in the air. Ciprofloxacin extended-release (long-acting) tablets are used only to treat certain types of urinary tract infections. Ciprofloxacin is in a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. It works by killing bacteria.

Antibiotics will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections.”

Yup, they gave her the Anthrax cure.  We are still holding out hope for the Slayer-Away
