Yesterday was good...

juicebox88 added an entry about lose weight : Ate around 1300 calories,burned 600+ all the walking at the fair. I should have climbed the giant corn shaped rock all, but whatever :)) I did some kayaking there too, only like 10 minutes but I could really feel it in my arms when I was doing it. I’ll never understand how people can sit there and eat gyros right next to the sheep pens though >.> Anyways, back on the subject, I’ve eaten around 850 calories so far, burned only 400, but I’m getting back on… now. If my brother would leave the air on for more than 2 seconds. I wish he was fat. All he does is eat and play video games, but he’s skinny >:(
