I PASSED THE BAR

Oh, yeah, and I've lost 20 pounds since mid-august. That's what happens when you actually have time to exercise and watch what you eat. It's weird how most "convenient" foods are so high in calories. Ramen, for example, has 292 calories per serving, but each package is two servings. That's a lot of calories! Portion control is also a major step Jess and I have taken in losing weight.

Between eating better and going to the gym regularly we've been doing alright, but we also started using WiiFit. WiiFit has you do a body test every day, which basically measures your BMI and your center of balance. Watching my weight slowly go down over the last 6 weeks has been a great experience, plus having to weigh myself every day helps me realize how what I eat affects my weight. WiiFit also lets you set a goal and it's fun working toward them. I've hit almost every one of my goals early, so that's good.

Now on to the job search!

1. Congrats!

2. Wii Fit rocks! I use it regularly and I haven't really lost a lot of weight (it goes up and down... it's a woman thing) but I notice my body getting more toned. Garin notices too! :)

3. Good luck on the job hunt!
