Feeling Fit?
Today, like many other days in my life, nothing much happened. You see that a lot in my journal entries, huh?
Feeling Fit. Our calorie charts were due today. I didn't tell you about it, didn't I? Over the weekend Ms. Kopecky told us to keep a Food Diary with the things we eat and how many calories are in them. Then we have to write down what we do, for how long we do them and how much calories we burned while doing so (using a special formula she taught us in class). She wanted to see if the american lifestyle was bad and that kids were gaining more and more weight each day. Or something along the lines of that.
So she was checking it, going around and "hovering", as she would say, over us and looking at our charts. She also wanted to see if anyone was able to neither gain or lose weight. You see, when you subtract how much calories you ate from how much you burnt, you get either a negative number (which means you lost weight) or a positive number (which means you gained weight). Then we have to divide that by 3,500 to see how much of a pound we lost/gained. If you get 0, that means you didn't lose or gain weight. You just stayed the same weight.
For some odd reason, I thought that I would be the only one who would really gain weight because I thought they were so active and stuff during weekends and went on shopping sprees and stuff. It turns out, I'm one of the more "fit" (in terms of activity, not weight =p) people. I gained 0.025 pounds. Cynthia was more fit than me though. She gained 0.01 pounds. Ho-wow.
Indecisive 2005. I still can't decide on a book! Though I know I'll probably end up reading both and deciding after I've read both, I still feel like I need to concentrate on only one book. I was supposed to sleep at 9:30 PM last night because I was sleepy then. I tried reading Little Sister to myself so I could sleep better or something, but the story was so engaging (not to mention sad!) that I couldn't stop flipping through the pages. Then I noticed it was 10:00. So I to stop at a not-so-cliffhanger-ish part so I wouldn't be to eager to know what would happen next. The story is very deep. I have to concentrate more on reading Kira-Kira tomorrow, so I can make a final decision. Or something.
Well I have to prepare for our field trip tomorrow! Ta-ta for now!
