Fitness

between entries.

At least I'm still writing! I probably should be writing more, since each day is a different challenge.

The last several weeks have definitely been interesting, for sure. I'm going to keep this primarily geared at the fitness and diet 'topic'. I may just have to start the political and personal issues blogs soon to cover the rest of the stuff...

Okay, accidentally nuked the first version of my intro, so here's go #2 -
A lot of what I've been writing about the last couple of months has been very general, with an almost tangential focus on the health and fitness topics that I was originally hoping to target this blog at (and more specifically, to use it as a record of my fight to lose weight and regain something from my youth).

Over the weekend, I've given a lot of thought to the focus of this particular blog, and I believe it's necessary to make some changes - both to focus this diary more on what it's original aims are, as well as to pull the other stuff out and into a separate blog, or even blogs. This means that I'm likely going to move to a different, more multiple blog friendly back-end, and that I'll be writing more. Woo! Maybe

With that bit of administration now out of the way, it's time to make a REAL post about the diet and fitness 'stuff', and my quest to lose 60 pounds...

Be warned. There are pictures of a 32 year old pasty white fat man following...

Okay... I'm beginning to think that these once a week bicycle rides are probably not getting the job done properly. Kinda like how I should be updating this blog more often than once a week... lol

Anyway...

I've been slacking.

So here are some thoughts that I've been having, regarding this whole weight loss "thing"...

UPDATED!!

So a couple weeks ago, the wife decided that we should pick up WiiFit after we saw a demo unit at Toys R Us (the week before its release, in fact). After letting it sit in its box for a while, we cracked it open, and gave it a bit of a try.

I know people have issues with it using BMI as it's 'primary' method of tracking health, but it also does a lot with balance. The technology behind this board is absolutely -incredible-. And the workouts aren't too shabby, either!
