Hey...Taucer...you live in Raleigh, too. Small world.

LATE CHECK IN
Well, I've continued with the daily DDR, hitting 500+ calories a day and the weight training MWF, but last week I kind of faltered...for some reason...I can't remember. Didn't do anything on Monday, but I picked it up again Wednesday, I think... Well, by Friday I was definitely back on track, took Saturday off, did some DDR yesterday then today with the weights, and weighing in now at 188.
I'm feeling pretty good and fitting better into old clothes.
WOohoo!
-
I wish I could play action games too, but this gives me a chance to go back and play all the old RPGs I never got around to finishing, so I'm not complaining about it.
Absolutely. Besides, I could see myself experiencing some cognitive dissonance with Twilight Princess. Like, I'd have Link walking along, and I'd be walking along on the treadmill. Suddenly, Link would have to stop for some reason and I'd probably stop walking on the treadmill and I can't imagine much good coming soon after that...
But yes, that is a very, very cool idea you have going there. I'd emulate ya, but I don't have a treadmill and my cardio comes from DDR. In the meantime, I think I'll go feed my cat.

"I feel asleep!!"
"Get the heck out of here, you nerd!"
-
She's playing Breath of Fire at the same time she's on a treadmill.
That is a really cool idea. I kinda wish I could do that with Twilight Princess...
-
I really like the middle eastern feel to it. It kicks and then kind of mellows...I like that.
-
Checking in late, as usual.
Walking went well this week. I bought a pedometer over last weekend, and the furthest I walked (supposedly) was a mile and a half, but I average about a mile at a generally brisk pace. Currently I'm in Arad in Breath of Fire (I want to say a little more than 1/4 through, according to Gamefaqs).
Wait what? I...I don't get it...

Time for the Weakly Czech Inn.
Took Sunday off - completely. Even had a hamburger with my old man...mistake. I had one a couple weeks ago and it made me sick. I thought that was an exception. It wasn't. I think that's my body's way of saying, "No more burgers, evar!"
Monday: weighed in at 195, burned ~531 calories on DDR MAXX 2. Did my regular weight routine w/benching, Flies (fly's?), and rows. Was also able to bump the 100 crunches up to 200.
Tuesday: weighed in at 193.5 (in the afternoon instead of the morning as usual). Did 150 crunches and 517 calories on DDR.
Wednesday: no DDR, but bumped the weight routine up 5 lbs. and did 150 crunches.
Thursday: went balls-out on DDR and burned 735 calories with 100 crunches.
Friday: weighed in at 190.5! I started this whole thing at 201 or 202. I'm feeling really good (not just at the fact I've lost 10 lbs) and I'm finally starting to see the overall energy increase in the day-to-day. I did 200 crunches, 550 calories on DDR, and the new max on weights.
Today I did a mild workout on DDR burning only 518 calories. In addition to all this I work at a Barnes & Noble store in the cafe, so I'm on my feet about 7.5 hours when I work and running around hauling milk. I'm able to fit more comfortably into older clothes again, and people are noticing a change.
Aside from all that, I just feel really good.
-
Holy crap! I'll be posting my checkup later today, but just wanted to drop in and say I've hit the 10-lb. mark! I weighed in 190.5 this morning!
-
I really like this.
I concur with the cymbal comment, and the ending is kind of abrupt (realizing it's a WIP, yes) but otherwise I like it. I'm putting this on my iPod and am looking forward to the final product.
-
I also managed to pull out DDR today, and man do I suck. Like B-C on easy.
No footly coordination whatsoever.Take heart! For it takes practice and a little time to rebuild stamina and skill. Took me about a week to get back in the groove.

When they introduced the psychic and the premise of psychic military might, it reminded me of Metal Gear. At the moment I'm going through MGS3, so with the jungle setting it made me think of what a Metal Gear movie may be like if Indiana Jones replaced Solid Snake. The characters are kind of similar, but Indy isn't as bitter as Snake.
Then there's a scene where it suddenly felt kind of like a Metroid movie.
All around, this film reminds me more of Temple of Doom than Raiders or Last Crusade.

CHECK IN
At the end of this week - weighing in at 195! A six lb. loss since I started two weeks ago, and only this past week was the first one to really have a routine.
I'm doing 500+ calories burnt a day on DDR MAXX2. I stayed with the same weight for the weight training I'm doing, but after feeling really good with it today, I think I will bump the max up five or ten pounds.
Overall, my energy level is going up, I just need to guard my rest.
This club was a great idea!
-
Hopefully, if it were to happen they'd get someone similar to Jon Favreau - similar in that with Iron Man he was a fan of the material, hired good actors who are also fans, and got a good script that honors the source while making the necessary changes to adapt it from one medium to another.
Without question, I also think it should be a trilogy.
-
I concur with Wintermute. I like the hard-edged approach to a theme that's usually handled a bit more delicately and with mellow tones. This makes me feel things similar to "Wanderer on the Offensive."
-
I have the urge to pull out DDR and get good at it. LOL
DDR is where it's at!
-
I realize this is Frog's theme, but after watching Prince Caspian yesterday and then listening to this, I can't help but think of Reepicheep and his men (er, mice?).
-
Stepmania
Hah! That's cool. That's on PC, right? With that, you could conceivably have every single song from every DDR game in one, couldn't you?
-
DDR effin' rocks. Which version do you have?

Weekly check-in:
Sunday
Weighed in at 201 lbs. Started a DDR routine - burned 300+ calories.
Monday
Increased daily DDR routine to 400 calories - did 405.
Started old weight routine - switched it up a bit to maximize efficiency.
Did 50 crunches.
Tuesday
DDR knocked off 449 calories.
Wednesday
400 calories exactly
New weight routine - felt a lot better about it this go-round and was able to add FLY's and rows and knocked out 100 crunches.
Thursday
DDR - 416 calories
Friday
Weighed in at 199 lbs - 2 pound weight loss for the week!
DDR - 406 calories
Hit the weights, went through all the exercises, 100 crunches.
My diet has been two eggs, toast and OJ for breakfast. Lunch has been some beef, pita bread and hummus, and salad. Dinner has been chicken sandwiches at work (Barnes & Noble) with those awesome chocolate chunk cookies - I did not have a cookie tonight.
The goal for next week is to up the caloric burning to a 500 minimum on DDR and to increase my max in the weight routine. May add 25-50 crunches to it, too. And going to try going with no sweets until the end of the week.

That's really cool.
A story of a similar vein:
When I worked the electronics boat at Super Target a gentleman of the senior variety came in and bought the re-release of Zelda 2 for the GBA. I asked if it was for a grandchild and he said it was for himself. I thought, "cool" and figured that was the end of that. A few days later he came back, asking for help on how to get into the 6th palace. Taken aback, I regained my composure, verified with him the location of the palace and told him about the flute in level 5, and also where to get the thunder spell and the location of the secret village. One of the coolest conversations I've had with any customers, especially given the stereotype-breaking demographic of the man.
And stuff like Tentacle's story makes old age seem less bleak.

Looks like this boy has a problem.

We may need to stage an intervention. It would be the loving thing to do.

I just finished Identity Crisis by DC which is pretty good. Now going through Batman's The Long Halloween and it's r0xx0rzing my b0xx0rzings right now. The classics, aside from Sandman, which are great are Kingdom Come, Marvels, Watchmen, Weapon X, Batman: Year One, and The Dark Knight Returns. Unfortunately, I'd reckon he's probably read all or most of those based on your description and the fact that my comic readership has been sporadic over the last several years.
I hope all comes out well for your friend, though.

Weekly Check-In:
Started off alright - as mentioned in a previous post I overdid it a bit in weights and walk/jogging. I took Thursday off of w/j and then unexpectedly took off yesterday as I was called into work a couple hours earlier than anticipated. Therefore, I exercised today - or rather, tonight.
I'm going to chalk this week up to a calibration week. I pulled out the ol' DDR mat and spun up some MAXX action and I think I'm going to make this part of the routine, too. Especially on days it's raining (and so long as the apartment below me remains vacant).
At the end of the first week, weighing in at 201.
Legend of Zelda: LttP - Sacred Flute

Very nice!! The balance is indeed better and I really like the new ending much more than the original!
I say, "Sumbit!"
