Day 3 - So Much Hummus

Boy, it has been a busy weekend! Or so I'd like to tell myself. I was so engrossed with Glee (which I finished the entire first season of) that it only took 2 days for me to know that I have a Glee problem (considering all 2 episodes of season 1 were finished in those 2 days). However, lest this turn into some sort of sick and horrific Glee-blog, let us get back on topic, yes?

If you are a movin', groovin' dancin' machine, or... even if you're not... then have I got some recommendations for you! Personally, the Wii, no offense to Nintendo (you will always have a place in my heart), is just a tad childish to me. I can't place my finger on it but it just has a more teletubby-ish feel in comparison to its other console comrades. I really think of myself as more of a 360 girl. Perhaps it's because I love the rumbling in my hands of assassinating the crap out of some trigger happy, foul-mouthed, girly sounding 12 year old who taunts me for being a girl/a trigger happy, foul-mouthed, girly sounding 12 year old boy. Anyways, as I was saying: The Wii has some really good games on it regardless of its baby-face demeanor. If you haven't heard of the Just Dance series you need to get on the ball, sir, and go find yourself a Wii and the Just Dance games
 or get yourself a good friend that you're really comfortable around (or even one who you're not, because this game is hella-dappa-doodle-o fun) who will allow you to drink every drop of water in his/her house.

Just Dance 2 is the game that I own and my goodness me it is fun. I am partial to the Just Sweat section where it tracks how may "sweat points" you are earning per song and, boy, does it seem like a lot. You follow a dancer on the screen while holding the Wii controller in your right hand and you mimic the moves with the song. At first you're like, "Holy crap on a stick, I can't dance like these pros!" But do not give up! They get pretty easy to follow after the second or third song and soon you'll be sashaying and kick-ball-changing just like Christopher Walken (who is a remarkably good dancer as is shown here in Weapon of Choice).

It has a great song selection as well! I am not, by any means, a hardcore Brittney fan but I do like the song Toxic. Mostly because I saw it performed by a 6'5 transvestite at Gay Prom back in 2003 clad in black latex and hooker heels. So, Brittney Spears' Toxic, Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend, Justice's D.A.N.C.E, Benny Benassi's Satisfaction and about 45 others.

I think I hit 1400 sweat points and had to throw in the towel. My goal was 2000 points but I had already spent a good 30 minutes playing Dance Central on the Xbox 360 right before Just Dance 2. That's the other one! Dance Central is a great party game. There is nothing more entertaining than watching your girlfriends gyrating on camera to Fannypack's Hey Mami and then try to make out with each other.

Recipe for an Awesome Drunken Dance Central-athon

1 Xbox 360
1 Xbox Kinect
1 Dance Central Game
17 liters Heavy Liquor of your choice
People (of course)

Mix all ingredients in a house or open space and rock it.

For a low fat experience simply nix the liquor!

I weighed in this morning and I'm wondering if it is just because I had not eaten yet but the scale said 172 Lbs which would mean that I've lost a whopping 2 lbs since I started this whole deal! Woot woot! Maybe I'll call it the Dance Dance and Don't Eat Crappy Food Diet.
