Skipping is good cardio, I hear. My joints hate it though :S I get terrible ankle and knee pains from skipping, which sucks and doesn't make sense considering that my dance jumps are actually one of my strengths :confused: Heh, probably not using my abs enough lol...

In other news, PRAISE CHOCOLATE! I had my first healthy meal in a while for dinner tonight. Some rice noodle stuff in egg sauce with fish and prawns in it. Yummy!

the bad news: Am snacking on some Fantails, lol. But hey - I bypassed the Oreo chocolate bars, and the extra serving of dinner (which would have made me sick). Also, I find I have to suck on fantails, so I'm going through them pretty slowly :) It's like some kind of sugary gum :p

Study: Have done 635/2000 (my quota for today is 750) words for my SOC essay. They're basically all two or three-liners, but hey! It's something! :D

Exercise: Taught tap for about 2 hours today, does that count? Low-intensity though.

I'm one for the rowing machine when in need of a cardio workout. It's non-impact and works your arms, legs, stomach AND lower back too!

Today:
So far GREAT! if i keep this up I'll give my day an overall rating of 9!

I woke up around 7, but had an assignment for acst due at 9... so i did that straight, phew got it done in time! Then went to the gym.

Using Dazed's advice, i did 30 minutes on the treadmill and 20 minutes on the cross trainer, then did step excercises for 15 minutes.

Breakfast/Lunch... since i went to the gym straight after i did my assignment, i jsut got back now. In essence it consisted of steamed chicken and steamed bok choy and red capsicum seasoned with lemmon, salt/pepper

Snack: Chewy and mandarrin.

I'ma go clean my room and get it ready for exam period now :)

Hahaha Anne, I heard on the Kyle and Jackie O show today that they've just released these sneakers in the US that count calories, and it's coming out in Australia around June/Julyish.



Breakfast: Banana Bread (healthy!)

Lunch: 1 roll tuna sushi (healthy!), 1 roll smoked salmon sushi (healthy!)

Pre-dinner: Smoked chicken on crackers (somewhat healthy?)

Dinner: Ham and cheese croissant (lol...)



Exercise: Screw that :p If I get enough words done I will put on "Hips Don't Lie" and dance to it for a while (I need to learn that columbian dance form Shakira does in the video, looks cool)

Study: Working on SOC289 essay. Hoping to get it up to wordcount tonight, then I have tomorrow to rework it, and friday for polishing.



Can I say that smoked salmon sushi is yummy, because it tastes like smoked salmon? :p omg that stuff is so yummy...!!!

abou 152cm ;)

But I'm a girl. Which means my metabolism sucks in comparison to yours, just because you're a boy and I'm a girl.

SEXUAL DISCRIMINATION!

haha!

I used to think the same, but in general. The funniest thing now is that in my group of close friends, all the guys are around 6 foot, and all the girls are around 5 foot... and we are all shoe size 5 or 6 too! It's insanely funny.
