EA Active 6-week challenge: Day 7

Weighed in at 185.4 this morning, that's down 0.2 since I started, but I also got my period today, so I'm not surprised at the minimal weight loss.

EA Active 6-week challenge: Day 6

Burned 113.8 calories today. I've burned a total of more than 500 calories since I started...that's one of the standard goals they give you when you start the 6-week challenge - I always forget to change them.

The workout was really good, very intense. My legs were killing me by the end of the workout. No pain, no gain, right? :D

EA Active More Workouts - day 5

I went over my calories yesterday (1700) and today (still need to figure that out). I didn't exercise - I was planning on taking the dog for a walk, but when I got home from grocery shopping last night, it began to pour. I wanted to get up early this morning and take the dog, but didn't - was too tired. Tomorrow's back on with EA Active More Workouts, so I need to be up on time - otherwise, I guess I can do it tomorrow night, but I would really rather do it in the morning.

EA Active 6-week challenge: Day 3

Calories Burned: 160.8
Calorie Intake:

Didn't really keep track of my calories yesterday or today. Plan to keep track tomorrow. 1200-1400 calories is my goal.

This EA Active seems to take longer to load than the previous game.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that my abs were feeling yesterday's workout today...The leg lifts really killed me today.

EA Active 6-week challenge: Day 2

Today I took the dog for a walk...it was raining, so we didn't do the full 3/4 mile. I burned about 91 calories on the walk (www.caloriesperhour.com and www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc).

I burned 113.9 calories on EA Active. One activity today was water skiing - kind of like roller blading in the original game. However, you squat to move the character on the screen, I was squating, but I didn't get any of the flags/goals of the left, can't figure that out, I even tried leaning in that direction and it still didn't work. Well, it's only day 2, I'm sure I'll master this by week 6.

I'm going to track my calorie intake, and report that daily. So tomorrow I'll report my intake for today - but we're celebrating Easter tonight with Terry's family, so I may go over with all the yummy desserts I made. :)

Back in the Saddle

Spring has sprung and so has me getting back into exercising. Wednesday night I started walking - 3/4 mile with the dog. Did that on Thursday and Friday...plan on doing it Saturday and Sunday.

I picked up EA Active More Workouts and played that today. Pretty good workout. I'm glad to finally see an exercise game incorporate warm up and cool down stretches - even if it is only 1 minute...it's about time people! So, i started with the 6 week challenge on medium intensity, set up my 4 workouts per week and now I just need to get myself up on Tuesday and Wednesday to do it (Saturday and Sunday are my other two days, so that shouldn't be a problem).

Starting weight as of this a.m. was 185.6

Exercise/Diet Update

It's been three months since I've posted anything. I loaned EA Active to my sister, so I haven't been able to do that. Since I've started working again, getting up at 5:30 is just not appealing. I have gotten back on track with counting calories, however I do struggle with that on the weekends. I also struggle with not drinking enough water on the weekends.

I hope to get back into keeping up this blog. As I do believe it helped me stay on track with my exercise.

The weather has been getting nicer, so that means getting outside and taking the dogs for a walk. Spring is so close!
