Ok so this won't be as nicely set up as last week, I didn't keep a work out diary day by day but anyway here's what I did:

Goal I set last week:
Time: 6 hours
Walking: 4 hours
Swimming: 2 hours

What I actually did:
Time: 6 hours
Walking: 6 hours
Swimming: 0 hours
(Cleaning: 4 hours should count for something)

So I totally forgot I was going to my stepdads 40th birtday party, and since they live in another town I had not chanse of going swimming, instead I took a long walk friday (2 hours counts as a long walk to me) and partied on saturday, cleaned up on sunday.

I've also decided to only post a pic every 4th week, since that will show my progress better.

So here's what I'm gonna do now:
Goal week 3:
Swimming: 6 hours

We just got our first snow and it's slippery as HEEELL outside (almost crushed my hand walking to school today) so walking is out of the picture for atleast a few weeks.

Now I'm looking into some specific tips about food, I know I should avoid high kcal food but are there any everyday items that has high kcal that I might not now about? I'm not talking about hamburgers or pizza or anything like that, just something you wouldn't expect to have alot of kcal in it?

Thanks for all the comments last week, I flipped on one guy but that was because of his attitude, if you have any advice that might help me please post it!

lol sorry but cleaning doesn't count! especially after you partied the night before. I hope at least you watch what your eating/drinking at these parties.

Bread, a lot of these new age beverages like sodas and certain juice drinks, pasta, milkshakes, breakfast cereals, peanut butter, Nutella, cheese, salmon... Just to list a few.

Remember, when you are walking, your goal should be to eventually run... So try speed walking a little? You know your capabilities better than I do, so you can gauge that for yourself, but I think that you can shorten the amount of time you spend doing an exercise (and thus maximize your likelihood of doing it as part of a schedule, at least for me it's like that) and keep the same benefits, while preparing you faster for the next step. I guess due to the ice it's no longer something important, but for the future you should keep this in mind.

Swimming is one of the best overall workouts period. Remember to stay hydrated and if you are not a good swimmer to take it easy. Try to practice your technique, because then you can swim for longer and maximize the efficiency of your actions, which increases your stamina and your muscle development. Once you get better, you should consider learning how to do a flipturn against a wall, that way you can keep swimming without slowing yourself down to turn around and etc.

Good luck, and keep up the good work!

Also, since I posted in your blog a few weeks ago, I've been swamped with illness and work and fatigue and partying ): all excuses to not work out. I've been playing soccer more regularly but I feel like I just get thinner from all the running haha.
Peace~

Here is something to motivate you(quote from the book "The Art of Expressing the Human Body")

"Bruce had me up to three miles a day, really at a good pace. We'd run the three miles in twenty,
one or twenty, two minutes. Just under eight minutes a mile [Note: when running on his own in
1968, Lee would get his time down to six,and,a,half minutes per mile]. So this morning he said
to me "We're going to go five." I said, "Bruce, I can't go five. I'm a helluva lot older than you are,
and I can't do five." He said, "When we get to three, we'll shift gears and it's only two more and
you'll do it." I said "Okay, hell, I'll go for it." So we get to three, we go into the fourth mile and
I'm okay for three or four minutes, and then I really begin to give out. I'm tired, my heart's
pounding, I can't go any more and so I say to him, "Bruce if I run any more, "-and we're still
running-"if I run any more I'm liable to have a heart attack and die." He said, "Then die." It
made me so mad that I went the full five miles. Afterward I went to the shower and then I want,
ed to talk to him about it. I said, you know, '''Why did you say that?" He said, "Because you
might as well be dead. Seriously, if you always put limits on what you can do, physical or any,
thing else, it'll spread over into the rest of your life. It'll spread into your work, into your morality,
into your entire being. There are no limits."

Yeah, be really careful at parties--very easy to get a lot of calories through alcohol, drunken snacks, etc.. If you absolutely must drink, choose something like hard alcohol in diet soda.

I would advise you to cut out liquid calories as much as possible: juice and especially soda are just a ton of sugar. Simply drink water or the occasional diet soda instead and this will make a massive difference.

One way experts often advise to consume fewer calories is to choose foods with a lot of water content in them, like eating grapes instead of raisins, or eating soup. For some reason these foods cause our body to feel fuller, whereas if you ate the same amount of calories and had a glass of water instead you would be more prone to still feeling hungry.

As fana said, make sure you don't overdo the swimming - don't push yourself too hard every time you swim, as an hour a day is QUITE tiring. Keep it up! Try and enjoy swimming too, if you can its definitely great for your body.

I'm glad to see you keeping up with this. A couple things that have unsuspecting high calories:
- salad dressing and some other toppings. It might be nice and healthy to order a salad... but if you make it a chicken caesar, you might as well have the big mac.
- pancakes and syrup. If you get hash browns, these have the same caloric content as a hamburger and fries.
- chicken alfredo - chicken or not, this stuff is loaded with saturated fats

If you want menu advice, keep a food diary this week (including EVERYTHING you put in your mouth, idc if its a glass of water) and post it.

Good thing you are keeping this up man
I agree with fanatascist in that you should be aiming for running, so thriving for a faster pacing is a must.

Always remember, 50% of your results is on your food. The other 50 is workout. So be sure to put (Z)EffOrt on both parts.

Cleaning does indeed count, despite what others may say to the contrary. Just choosing to be more active in your lifestyle, doing little chores, taking a walk instead of driving a short distance etc, can add up to a lot. Cleaning for 4 hours isn't going to hold a candle to running for 4 hours, but it's obviously a lot better than say watching TV for 4 hours, or playing SC. Good luck.

You don't need to aim at running, especially for someone who is overweight, the impact on your joints and soles of your feet can be quite unnecessary. Walking is fine and is great for someone who isn't able to really rip it when they exercise. I think that the elliptical machine is really good to start with if you don't want to run yet because it is a very low impact but decent cardio workout (if you have access to one of course).
You are crushing me like a cheese sandwich
