I lost two pounds this week by accidently giving myself food poisoning. I would not recommend this method.  :(

Oooh, no, that's got to be the very hardest way to lose two pounds, other than cutting off some fingers or something.  Hope you are feeling better!

Just got back from the gym.  Feeling quite pleased with myself.  According to the Elliptical machine I was on, I did 6.34 miles in 65 minutes.  Well done, me!  That's .8 of a burrito.  LOL!

Congrats!  Next, the whole burrito.

Hahaha, "The Whole Burrito Workout" could be the next big thing!  :D

Haha, that would be awesome.  I'm picturing normal looking women in baggy T shirts and shorts in the workout video (instead of those insanely fit types in sports bras and tiny spandex pants.)  I would be in front center cheering people to keep going saying "Just think!  After this tape is over, you could eat a whole extra burrito if you wanted to!  Add weights to this set, and you could add sour cream!"   ;D ;D

Well I'm glad it was accidental, I wouldn't like you doing it deliberately!  ;)

I've heard of people doing it to lose weight! They're probably crazy, but still. Always good to clarify. I wouldn't want you all to question my sanity, now would I?  ;D

Ooooh, did some resistance training yesterday.  I don't know what they are called, but the muscles in my sides (right on top of the ribs, but toward the back of my sides) HURT whenever I move.  I guess that means that I did well...

obliques :)
When I was regularly bell-dancing, it used to KILL my obliques. In a good way.

You did belly dancing? How fun!  I have always wanted to take a class, but haven't found one locally that works with my schedule.  Did you like it?

Yeah! I loved it! I took classes for over a year in Newfoundland and started a semester here in Ottawa, but my instructor didn't seem to take it all that seriously and I started my tech-writing program, so I'm on a hiatus this year. It's a really body friendly activity, actually. It's easily modulated for all body types and abilities; it's easy on joints, you can avoid "problem" areas if you need to. Everyone is wary about having to show their dreaded mid-drift at first, but it's never forced on anyone -- it's all very body positive. At least in my experience :)  I think some of the moves actually look better if the woman has a little bit of flesh on her bones. I've heard really slim belly dancers complain that their undulations don't look as good as some of the thicker dancers' :D

I've lost 13 pounds since starting Weight Watchers a month ago.  Which is nice.  I have a lot more I'd like to lose, since my healthy weight range is supposed to be 159-189, and I'm currently around 229 (I started at 242).  Still can't really see the progress, which is not so nice.  But I'm still pleased.
