A frustrating start to my exercise regime, we have had an exchange student stay with us since Sunday and will be with us until the end of February. The only time I've been able to get any exercise in is during my lunch hour for 15mins on the bike as it makes too much noise at night (She goes to bed at 6:30-7). I do sit ups and push ups in the evening to at least get the heart beating a little. I'm not getting nearly the time in I need to burn those calories so I need to figure something out. Luckily it's still very early. Hopefully the side walks clear up and I can start running again or I get some down time from fixing computers in the evening to get to the gym.

630-7 ?!?!?
Part of the exchange experience is to learn about other cultures. Teach your student that in THIS culture, noisy excercise happens when there is money at stake!!

hahaha damn straight!! she's fresh off the plane, I can't blame her. She tries to stay up with us but you can see her perfect posture tends to slacken more and more as she gets tired.
She's terrified of the electric recliner, will not recline in it. Actually, I don't think her back as ever touched the back rest.
Hillary and I are a bit ignorant when it comes to different cultures as well, we've been trying and i've learned a lot about her and her family which is pretty cool!
You know they go to school over there from 7am to 11pm?!?!

Shes incredibly timid, even once said she didn't trust foreigners so I think putting a video camera on her might land me in jail.
She speaks considerably good english, generally understands everything but has trouble expressing and saying some things.
Tonight was a rough one for us both, Hillary was working so I was left with making supper. We ended up splitting a can of soup and a package of Mr. Noodles. I wanted the soup, but I could tell she wanted the soup as well. So I asked her, she thought for a moment and said "half and half?" Cooked Mr. Noodles are the hardest thing to divide.

Weekly weigh in happened today. I'm satisfied but a little surprised in the lack of weight lost.
-1.2lbs for the week at work (digital), scale at home read -5lbs (dial) but whatever, at least it's progress in the right direction. Did have a fairly big meal last night, likely shouldn't have but again it's still early. Also only managed to get 1.5hrs of cardio in over 7 days.
Korean is starting to adjust to the time change and stay up later, only a couple nights computer side work scheduled this week so this week should be a little more productive.
Goal is to be down 2lbs this time next week.

Down 4.4 pounds this week! It was a solid week, I am back on track to my average 2lbs a week.
Last week I think I was in 8th place, hopefully this week it pops me up to the top 3. My 34's are fitting a lot more comfortably now, funny how a little weight can make a big difference in your day.
Im thinking I should be pretty trim for Jam this year, Maybe I'll wear my reflective safety vest with nothing underneath

You without a shirt and a saftey vest that velcros wouldn't be a good idea Brandon. Don't get me wrong I would be laughing at you not with you as you tried to get the vest off and realized the vecro is perminently stuck to your sasquach hair. lol
