3700 steps

-------------------
I had a late shift so I free stepped on the Wii while watching Bates Motel. I have watched all the orginial psycho movies. So it was really odd with the female classmates clamering around him as his first peer interaction. I just thought one thing. "It's not going to end well for those gals."

Day 13

2400 steps

Just another running day. I actually was cleaning at work for the entire shift. I was a little hesitant at first but I'm committed.

-------------------
Another late shift. I stepped while watching the latest episode to Psych.


Day 15

30:00
2244

-------------------
I increased my time to 40 minutes for today. I think I'll start having one day where I have one longer day. I wanted to build up my stamina first. I have been watching the first Mobile Suit Gundam movie while finishing up this entry. I have concluded Amuro is the reason why Shinji is such a little bitch. Well I can't completely blame Amuro at least he owns up quicker, movie-wise anyway.

Exercise Day 11: Ingjard Broke My Skyrim Game

As I sat here transcribing my playlist, I was playing Skyrim. Not the most productive method of writing I know. I am going to work in roughly 8 hours. I balance my time where I can. I have this follower, Ingjard. She's pretty awesome. Dawngaurd is still kinda buggy. Skyrim rarely froze before Dawngaurd, even after I installed Dragonborn and Hearthfire. This sadly freezes every other week. I can live with that. It just froze. This was due to Ingjard actions against a vampire's thrall. To be honest though I mainly mention this story for title fodder. I couldn't think of much. I was going to use a self-dephercating one or how I am marathoning the last season of LOST, disc by disc. Anyway, back to exercise. yay...

It's hard to keep motivated. I felt alot better today. I took a little more time, but I did did a little bit of jogging. hopefully I'll be able to keep it up. I jogged for the entire duration of The Imperial March.

Duration: 32:28
Distance: 3828 Steps

Lets hope for motivation for tomorrow. Tuesday will be my harder day though. I have a midshift that day. Yuck.

Exercise Day 10: I Hate Being Sick

I hate being sick. I started to get sick the next day last week [2013/03/08]. So I didn't feel so hot to exercise. I feel better today. So I went out to REI bought a new set of running gloves. I misplaced my Under Armor ones. It's somewhere in my dwelling. I am positive. My maroon winter beenie I lost awhile back is gone forever. And I didn't really "run" let alone even jog. I feel better, but not so much that I could jog without getting sicker.

I did a fast paced walk for
31 minutes at a grand total of 3600 steps.

Tomorrow should go well.
On a different note I'm going to try to dedicate an hour or two for reading. I bought about 18 books or so from the local library from their last drive. I'd like to make real headway with it.

Exercising Day 9: Walking, Mallrat Style

The run with my friend had fallen through due to him locking himself out of his car. We got to Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters right at the opening company logos. The movie was what I expected, deliciously awful. It could not decide what kind of setting it was, i.e. era and location. There were some convenient plot points for the movie. It gave enough material for a good riffing. It is worth watching with a friend who will riff with you and you rented it from a red box.

After that escapade, I ran a couple errands and was about to go home for some elliptical machine. It was roughly 8pm and the monsters are out; if you go by Bill Cosby's rules, so running was out of the question. I decided to walk the mall.
It was weird. I kind of see why you would want to do it in the morning. There would be less people and less distractions. It would also be daylight outside and a higher visibility so you would not get hit by a car.

The stats:
4184 steps, 39:20 minutes

It felt like a good walk. I am going to run tomorrow.

Exercise Day 8: Technology Makes Everything Better, Right?

I like my pedometer application. I do, really. I wished it would have worked better today.

With 16.5 minutes of activity recorded, I took 1968 steps. Dividing that for 119 steps a minute. (This stat makes me want to check my step settings. It feels too much in a minute). I calculated about 3816 steps for 32 minutes. I have my music on random. I do not skip. I also start fresh everyday, so a song can repeat. It was a good amount of Barenaked Ladies today.

Tomorrow I am planing on running with a friend tomorrow before we watch some Hansel and Gretel.

Exercise Day 7: Haste Makes Waste

I wanted to play skyrim. Recently with my third character I had a giant camped outside of my house. I call him Phil. Here's a picture of my new security detail.

I made a second door so I won't provoke him. I'm on a roll with this character. I will exercise before playing though. It needs to be done. I want to make this a good habit I won't break.

I used the elliptical machine for 32 minutes today. I watched a Nostaglia Critic editorial "Does Romeo & Juilet suck?" [as a romance]. It was entertaining. I watched a video :review on Die Hard 5 from Brad Jones. I learned I should just stick to the classics. My legs feel a little week still, I might do some stepping later on the Wii.

Exercise Day 6: Variety is the Spice of Life

So I didn't exercise yesterday. I worked early in the morning, had a five year-old niece's birthday in the afternoon. I got lazy and ate cake, it was delicious too.
Next sunday will be rough too, might need to exercise in the morning before I go to work at 6am. *sigh*

I decided to change it up and use the Wii Fit. I primarily used my time for yoga and the aerobics. I did one strengthening exercise that i cannot remember of. You I performed Sun, torso twist, tree [I got a sucky score on that one], cobra, twisted spine, bridge and a knee stretch. For Aerobic I did advanced rhythmic boxing and advance step.

As it has been 6 days, I  checked my weight after I finished.
I weighed in at 231. Not bad considering my level of activity.


Nothing else terribly exciting. I am going to watch some Golgo 13 with a friend this week. We have seen all of the series up to the fourth collection. I have yet to watch it. I didn't even crack open the plastic.

Exercise Day 5: Always know how to get there, and how to get back.

If you noticed, I did not have a play on "double" or "twin" since I only jogged today.

On to some stats:
It was another 31 minutes.
I took 3931 steps, almost a 100 step improvement.

The title came from an error while en route to my destination. When I was jogging at the tail end of the park I made a wrong turn at the crucial 2 minute remanding mark. I ended at the 15 mark at the same spot as this past Tuesday. At least me meter would show me some progress. I have listed the random songs that have played while jogging. I did not skip a song, unlike Tuesday.

The songs are list as: Song Title | Title | Album.

My Saturday playlist:
Pop Muzik | 3rd Party | A Night at the Roxbury Soundtrack
A Cruel Angel's Thesis [TV Size Version] | Yoko Takahashi | Neon Genesis Evangelion OST II
Posse | Kimbra | Vows (Deluxe Version)

I cheated and used iTunes for the japanese titles; both of which I own the physical CDs to.


And as promised, the Millennium Falcon, Guava edition. The first photo is the tray. The rest have a flood light under the Guava Falcon for emphasis.

Exercising Day 4: Company is Always Welcomed

Last night A friend of mine posted on FB, "I need a gym buddy." I thought, "Sure a change of scenery." Unfortunately, her husband became ill later in the day. Like the good gal she is, she cancelled so she could keep him company. I understood, but I still wanted to send her a picture of my cinch under armor bag that had my pair of shoes. [I didn't.] So here I was and I thought, "What am I going to write; another entry of elliptical machine?"

Thankfully, my sister and her husband was going out for a walk. These walks can last for a decent amount of time, an hour or two. We went over to Fred Meyer. I wanted to buy a twenty dollar PSN card for P4 Arena along with some frozen juice. The frozen juice was for 7"x9"2" silicone ice cube tray of the Millennium Falcon. I'll post pictures for it in tomorrow's entry. It's currently freezing right now.

It was a relaxing hour walk around the store. I kept in constant moving when my company would stop from time to time. I learned there is a Kinect basketball game that actually came with and uses the official NBA basketball. On the back of the large packaging it showed a diagram of a person dribbling the basketball in front of Kinect.. That just sounds like a dangerous combination. "Here my pre-teen child, play with this basketball in front of our large flat screen tv." Tears and sadness my friends. Tears and Sadness.

I enjoyed having the company for the walk. It was a nice change of pace. For the record, I bought a Hawaiian's Own frozen juice, Guava/Passion Fruit/Orange combination. I am still debating about going downtown. For Saturday though, I actually already planned out another exercising excursion with different friend. I was told in advance I could be canceled on her 4 year old son may want to watch a movie so I might do a double. A 30 minute jog in the morning and an hour or so walk in the afternoon with her. It'll be good or it'll kill me. Regardless of the outcome, there is a good chance I will not want to walk tomorrow.
