Don't know what it is, but I WANT IT!

[candyland]

I've noticed something about Iowans: we tend to be very, very proud of our home-grown stars. This is something I picked up at work when people were talking about it, and I would hear things like, "I like the Steelers well enough, but Kurt Warner is a UNI boy, so go Cardinals!" My house is cheering for the Cardinals. I...honestly don't care too much one way or the other. I watch for the commercials ^^;;

Oh! Mom and Dad bought me a little present to celebrate me dropping the first ten pounds! They bought me a new wallet! It's really nice--black and shiny, one of those with a little button you have to push for it to pop open :D And Mom said that she thinks my skin's clearing up, too.

On a semi-related note, I wasn't hungry at all today. I had a drink that I was sipping for most of the day, but that was all until dinner. I'm aware that it's really not healthy to do things like that, but I just wasn't...hungry. Plus I was so busy at work that the idea of a break seemed about a million miles away XD

Actually, after I finish this entry I'm going to go hop on the treadmill and do some exercising. Since the game is tomorrow, and my parents have bought munchies, and I know I'm going to wind up munching at least a little, I figure I'll do a little extra tonight and a little extra on Monday to balance the scales a bit--so to speak. Although Mondays and Wednesdays (my days off) tend to be my big days since I actually have the time to spend an hour and a half jogging.

Aaaaand I have been pondering over whether or not it would be fun to try and challenge myself on 100fandomhell and try to do one fandom for each letter of the alphabet. Having actually poked around to see if it was feasible, I have only this to say: thank god for xxxHolic, and the letter Q can go do unmentionable things to itself with a forked stick.

THAT IS ALL!

Thanks! I'd rather have muscle than flab ;o; My friend jewelsybear1017 has been doing this (http://health.msn.com/weight-loss/best-body-women/slideshow.aspx?cp-documentid=100186033) workout. It's worth a try? I might give it a go at some point, see how it works. But right now the treadmill is my primary work-out. Once the bookshelf gets moved, I'll do more on the resistance machine XD

I had heard that! I've also heard that your weight drops a certain amount every hour you sleep (although it's a paltry amount, just a few ounces). Since I've been exercising, my appetite has been weird, but my sleep schedule has gotten fairly solid, even if my sleep hasn't always been totally restful.

I already did that series ;o; But I found a short manga series that starts with the letter Q, so I'll give that a try. And as fyliwionvilyaer pointed out, if worst comes to worst, there's always Quest for Camelot *laugh*

The problem with lots of muscle is that, I swear, all the fat is converted to muscle and I -don't- lose weight. People don't believe me when I tell them my weight. Technically, I am overweight for my height but I have had pretty much the same range of weight since h.s.

Hey, the ounces add up! And then you aren't snacking as much, either!

I couldn't remember. That one works. ^_^ Gonna start a list of series based on the alphabet to write?

Actually, that's a myth. Fat and muscle are two different types of tissue :D *has been researching online, whee!* But if I had muscle-weight instead of fat-weight, I'd be happy.

True on both counts! \o/

Yup! I've done sixteen out of twenty-six letters ^^;; It would just be kind of cool if I could pull it off, if only to satisfy my own dorkiness *laugh*

Which part is the myth? I do know a lb of muscle takes up less space then a lb of fat.

Yep!

Go you! I wish I had that kind of mad writing skill.

Muscle can't turn into fat, or vice versa. They're two entirely different types of tissue.

I've...barely written anything in the last month ;o; I'm way behind on springwrite, but I have zero motivation.

What I meant was the the fat was burned as my body was creating muscle.

You just need a break. It's okay to take one.

BTW, I love that icon. Batman makes everything more awesome.

Ooooh, I see. I misunderstood ^^;;

I've been taking a break for something like two weeks ;o; Need to wriiiite...I might issue a challenge to my springwrite team and suggest a ten thousand word day...

Thank you! Indeed! \o/

So, it seems like I'm not losing weight. ^^; And I wasn't very clear about it.

Good luck with whatever you choose. And I couldn't do 10,000 words a day. My personal best it around 3,500.
