Weightloss a go go

I'm absolutely terrible at losing weight. I've been trying for a year, and I've just been waffling between the same 5 pounds. I'm tired of it. It's mostly because I have no self control, and cannot buckle down.

Well, here I go trying again. We'll see how long this lasts.

-I will not be eating any carbs this week. I have a lot of snacks and things to eat that are carbless and that I love (babybel cheese, anyone). So hopefully, I will not be tempted into eating anything with carbs.

- I will be exercising, quite a bit. I will be using my Kinect, and a few guides from the web.

Today, I will be:
-doing my initial pushup test for the 100 pushup challenge.
-doing my initial situp test for the 200 situp challenge
-doing my initial squat test for the 200 squat test
-twenty minutes of brisk walking/running
-Kinect Skinny Jean workout
-extra sets of leg exercises

Starting at a weight of approx. 200lbs (this is high, I fluctuate between 200 and 195 constantly).
Wish me luck!

I spend too much time wasting time.

- Finished Dexter Season 4. I found the ending disturbing, and would have it not have been a surprise, and had it explained to me, that despite the order of 'Trinity''s kills, it was the wrong MO, and loose ends were left.
The beginning of the season dragged for me. It took me far too long to get into it, unlike previous seasons. The last four(?)ish episodes were a roller coaster of awesome, though. So I'll give it a B- despite creeper John Lithgow reminding me too much of my dad and that terribly annoying ending.

- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (movie) was interesting to watch. It had a slow buildup, but delivered in the end. Being Swedish, it lacked a lot of the American expectations from a movie (camera angles, tense music, explosions, super tense revelations). I'm almost uninterested in seeing the American version, because the Swedish version was just so beautiful and different.

- The Girl who played with Fire (movie) didn't actually have any buildup. I was surprised to find myself falling asleep with 22 minutes to go, and the main confrontation upon me. I think it would have been a lot more interesting if Lizbeth's past/family hadn't been involved in the overarching mystery. Not as good as the first one, but still interesting.

- The Karate Kid (remake) was pretty lame, but I do enjoy watching Jackie Chan use random things as weapons (even if he only got one real fight scene in the whole movie and the rest of it was just Mini Will Smith making Will Smith signature faces at the camera and being whiny).

- A Clockwork Orange (book) I forced myself to finish reading this. The prose was just so strange, and lilting, it was really hard to get into. I had to sit down, read a chapter, take a break. Well, it's a classic and it's crossed off my bucket list.

I might learn a new choice phrases.

I feel like a terrible person for loving this game. Picked it up last night. So much fun. Multiplayer is basically stringing combos together in order to kill guys in amusing fashions (there was seriously a giant flower that ate dudes). The campaign so far is a lot of explosions and random azn cyborg men and I'm getting tired of being thrown into situations where I'm -supposed- to lose in order to continue the storyline, it makes me feel inadequate. Thanks game. Still, fun, gory. My inner sadist smiles, and a lot of my frustrations are vented on cg people.

Oh, and after years of fighting. I bought myself an Ipod Classic. I'm like a real person now. Now I can listen to my audiobooks and music without being shackled to the computer. I used to have a 30gig Rio Karma, and would have liked another one but the company doesn't make them anymore and anyone who had one seems to want to hoard it forever and never ever sell it to me. So... 150gig Ipod Classic it is. What in God's name am I going to do with all that space?

Next thing to buy? A pretty skin for it. I was thinking this.
