Starting Week 3!

I finished week 2 yesterday!  I've done most of the exercises (I've skipped two days worth >.<  I kind of dislike the core and tone ones) and I'm ready to start the third week.  I've never done Fire 45 EZ, but I've heard some bad things about it, so I guess we'll see what happens...If I don't like it, I'll probably just swap them out for alternative cardio, like jogging or elliptical.

Calorie wise, I think I've been hovering around 1700 a day, which is more than I would like, but I suppose it could be worse.  My dad says I've lost some back fat at least, so hopefully it's working!  I find then when I actually go to class and operate on a more normal schedule (8 am to 1 am instead of 12 pm to 4 am), I tend to eat better and be more productive.  Perhaps I can finally switch my schedule of the past two months to something an adult would follow.

In other news, I've recently purchased a pair of Fila Skele-toes Voltage shoes in size 5.  I tried on the 6 before and it was too large, so hopefully the 5 will work.  I got them off ebay for $25, so I didn't get a chance to try them on.  I ordered some socks off ebay for $14 (5 pair, better than the $10-15 a pair I found elsewhere), and then should get here in the next couple of weeks.  I've been needing a new pair of exercise shoes, considering how I've been using my old Nike Shocks, which I've worn down to the plastic (two layers gone!).  I like using them though, since those are the ones that Chalene Johnson wears in the videos, lol.

Food diary for the day (thus far): 2 bananas (180), Small salad (150), 1/2 cup fried rice (200), 3 clementines (100).  Only 630 kcal for the day so far!  Hopefully, dinner won't be over 600-700 and I can give myself a snack!  Weigh in is in two weeks, and I'm really hoping to hit 129, or else I will have to resort to doing the Inferno plan, which I know works.  But I don't like it that much.  It's hard, and the diet gets difficult after 2-3 days.

School is going okay, getting behind (as usual).  Perhaps the warmer weather will motivate me?

EDIT: Just finished Fire 45 EZ, and I can see why some people would complain about it, but personally, I found it to be pretty fun.  Some of the moves don't flow as well as they do in other Fire workouts, but the music is my favorite so far and some of the moves are a lot of fun.  I took a bathroom break after the second set, so maybe breaking it up could make it more bearable.  Looking forward to tomorrow's short workout!

Oh, and finishing my food diary: Snickers energy bar (150), 1/2 cup rice with veggies (400), 1 cupcake (200), 1 ringpop (60), 1 clementine (35), jerky (90).  So, an additional 935 kcal = total of 1565 kcal.  I guess that's pretty decent.  I can live with it.
