Well, I failed again last month, this time due to illness. *sigh* I'm going to keep working at the same goal in hopes that I actually manage to attain it this time! Also my DDR is malfunctioning. The memory card is broken or something. It's annoying. So it's harder to bring myself to exercise when all my DDR progress was erased.

So. 400 minutes of exercise in April. I'm going to lower my average calories to 1700, because when I'm on I don't have any trouble with that. It's just that when I have a bad day (or bad weeks, like the last few, with combined physical and mental illness) I loosen up more than I should.

Starting Weight: 195 pounds

Week One:
Apr 1: 45 minutes of swimming (30 minutes laps, 15 treading water), and 1245 calories - an excellent start!
Apr 2: 1711 calories (there was fried calamari tonight, and it was AMAZING, and I realized that I would regret not eating my fill of it, so I did)
Apr 3: 2011 calories - I'll get better, I need to clamp down on my overeating-at-dinner habit
Apr 4: 1932 calories
Apr 5: 1675 calories, 30 minutes brisk walking
Average Calories: 1714.8 calories - OVER GOAL
Weight: 196 pounds (waaaah)

Week Two:
Apr 6: 1431 calories, 25 minutes exercise
Apr 7: 1674 calories
Apr 8: 1784 calories
Apr 9: 1451 calories
Apr 10: 1309 calories, 15 minutes of walk/jogging
Apr 11: 1409 calories
Apr 12: around 2500 - I got invited out to dinner and it was lovely and I ate more than I realized
Average Calories: 1703 (about right, though I'd like it to be lower)
Weight: 194. Stupid period.

Week Three:
Apr 13: 1600 calories and I'm sick again, dagnabbit
Apr 14: 1570 calories and 45 minutes of exercise, feeling slightly better again
Apr 15: Well, FitDay tallied me up at 2012, but I have some serious doubts about its accuracy. I can't think that the Mu Shu pork I had for dinner was 512 calories per cup, since it was cooked in minimal oil and was mostly veggies like water chestnuts and Chinese cabbage, with a little bit of pork. So I think FitDay overestimated on me! Nonetheless, I'm going to keep the number there, because I'd rather err on the side of caution. 40 minutes of aerobic dancing, and HALFWAY TO MY EXERCISE GOAL!
Apr 16: 1784 calories
Apr 17: 20 minutes of jog/walking, 45 minutes of DDR, 1759 calories
Apr 18: fly home to the folks so they can meet my boyfriend!
Apr 19: vacation (afternoon of downhill skiing, probably amounting to one hour of hard exercise)
Average Calories:

Week Four:

Apr 22: vacation

March was a HORRIBLE month for me. Even though April has been so unkind to me in the past for many reasons (feel like I'm cursed in April), I'm hopeful to make this one finally a good one to remember.

My goal is 6 or 7 days a week (if i miss a day, that's OK), 30-60 minutes each day of cardio. I am aiming for a 1-2lb weight loss every week.

I am starting off at 150lb (though most I think is water weight), and I want to be 139 by May 1, but as long as I'm under 145, it's OK.

April Beginning Weight: 150lb

Week One:
Apr 1: 45 minutes of cardio
Apr 2: 35 minutes of cardio

Apr 13: 60 minutes of cardio
Apr 14: 30 minutes of cardio

Week Three:
Apr 15: Rest..was feeling blah.
Apr 16: 60 minutes of cardio
