I can now make it to the second round of push-ups before feeling like I’m dying. I’m counting that as progress. Still cycling through the jumping, though

Off Game: 30 Day Shred, Level 1 & Recumbent Bike

I tried running it without the instructions, but the music only setting doesn’t give any indication that the exercise is changing. Personally, I find that poorly thought-out, but I suppose you’re supposed to like hearing the person talk. I generally get sick of them as soon as I can say the entire routine along with them, if not before.

I’ve decided to ride my bike through the cardio minutes in the shred. I know it decreases the difficulty, and likely the speed of the results, but I’d rather do something than try the jumping until I can’t, and do nothing. Anyway, this is my plan, until I can get through the warm-up jumping jacks without it hurting by the end.

As expected, it seems the board mis-weighed me yesterday, but there was still a minor change for the first time in awhile, which is promising. Assuming it doesn’t go away tomorrow, that is

I started re-watching season 4 of Lost last night. With my desktop down, I’m actually paying attention to what’s on the screen, so I don’t feel like watching the same movie on repeat like usual

Anyway, I put it on during dinner, and then decided to ride my bike through an episode. If I’d realised I was on the flash forward to Kate’s trial, I would’ve waited for an episode with a storyline that didn’t bore me to tears. I lasted 15mins.

I really hate the Balance Board some nights. I got on to a Body Test measurement that seemed unlikely. I really should’ve re-done it right away, or at least when it said my cat had dropped a kilogram and a half over night (it compares the combined weight to yours on your own), but I didn’t re-do it until the end.

So yeah, very different measurement, and I can’t blame the decrease on the workout

I’m trying to ride my bike while watching TV (DVDs) again.

At the moment, I’m working my way through the first season of Rome, which means hour long episodes.

Time: 55 minutes, light pace

I have two more episodes on this disk, and then there’l be a delay. Canflix apparently does not have disk 4 anymore, and the system they have to ensure your season comes in order has decided that means it has to skip disk 5 (and the bonus disk 6), and send me the start of season 2 >_<

Hopefully, I’ll be able to rent disk 4 here while I wait for them to send disk 5 now that I’ve dropped the missing one from my list.

Episode Rant

• North Star: Star Trek: Enterprise #61 (Season Three, Episode 9)

Not much of a rant this time. The episode is more like the earlier seasons, and only touches on the disastrous Xindi plot line briefly. It’s a genera staple: the crew encounters a colony of humans that were transported from Earth to be slave labour, and having over-thrown (and massacred) their captors now thrive without advancing technologically. In this case, it’s an old west style society.

They kept the expected scenes, from the painful moment when Trip tries to figure out how to make a horse go, to the sheriff getting a barber shave, to running past the bullets in the shoot out. (Of course, there’s a shoot out.)

A bit of self righteousness in the “you must think we’re barbarians” moment, and of course the bull about humans having moved on from intolerance (*cough*xindi*cough*vulcans*cough*), but they’re short so overall the episode is fun.

Malcolm only gets to hit one person during the shoot-out, and it’s the peon who starts it meaning he starts it. However, he gets extra points for stunning T’Pol when she’s taken hostage in the stereotypical scene, and then, a shrug and smile, shooting the guy who grabbed her
