Bob Harper is making me sweat! - weeks 7 & 8 weigh in

I've never actually watched a full season of The Biggest Loser, but I like the concept and picked up a previously-viewed copy of the game for Wii from Blockbuster (seriously, who would rent the game for a week?). I have to say, I'm enjoying the workouts - they really make me sweat, and the part I like most is that the 'game' automatically schedules the workouts into the calendar. So all I have to do is check in each day and see what workout, if any, I'm scheduled for. Then I just have to click on the workout and it sends me right into it!  Couldn't be easier. Wii Fit Plus has pre-determined workouts too, but I found there was a lot of switching the remote from hand to pocket, etc. which kept interrupting the flow. TBL workouts only change the remote when necessary, and actually accounts for which hand/pocket it is in for the next routine. Certainly has a better flow.

Making progress with my diet. I signed up with MyFitnessPal.com and have started using their diet diary function. What I like about it is there is a huge database of nutritional information for all kinds of foods - that OTHER PEOPLE have already gone through the trouble of entering! It's great. Today, for example, I had a Danone Creamy yogurt - in there. I had a Caramilk ice cream cone - yep, it's in there. Tim Horton's tea and coffee, various combinations - although that one I had to create my own combination, but there were all kinds already there!  And the other great thing, once you create or use an item, it is added to your 'favourite's list' so then it's super easy to add to another day's entry.  Love it!
