The self-effacing thing is becoming a theme, isn't it? Warranted, considering I've gained more since the last post, which has been far too long ago. I'm up to roughly 478 now. I've been hovering around this weight for a couple months, so at least I'm not gaining anymore. But it also means I haven't lost any of it.
Around Xmas, I bought myself an Xbox 360 with Kinect. I also purchased Dance Central 1/2/3 - I've played them at a friend's house before, and not only are they fun, but it's a great workout. It's the sort of thing I originally wanted the Wii for, only much better.
But then I got a job. And school started again. And I started making excuses as to why I didn't have time for the exercise. These excuses are why I am where I am today, but I keep making them.
Earlier this week, I decided that I did, in fact, have enough time, and that I wanted to get some of that dancing in. Load everything up.. there's an update that needs to be installed. Grab my controller so I can get through that.. it no longer syncs with the console. So it's basically an expensive paperweight now until I can figure out how to correct this.
But that didn't stop me from exercising that day. Silly me remembered that I trained capoeira for a year, and although I've gained 125 pounds since the peak of my learning and can't roll around like I once could, there's always the ginga, as well as the easier kicks. So I did that, for about an hour. And I was reminded why I love capoeira so much, and how much I genuinely miss being immersed in it. But I'm truly thankful it's still with me. And since there's no setup involved for it (the living room is always obstruction-free), I'm going to have a much harder time coming up with excuses to not do it. And one of these days, I know I'll make it back to one (or more) of the groups near me.
