321...

that's how many calories you burn... on a treadmill... at an incline of 5.0... walking 3.5mph per minute ~ during an entire commercial free episode of Lost ~ just a little over 40 min...

you might wonder how exactly i know this... 'cause i'm freakin' HOOKED... seriously to the point that on this beautiful day... one of very few left where i could actually walk outside... get some sun and not freeze to death in the process ~ did i walk outside ~ nope... put Lost in downstairs and continued on this... hell... BENDER i'm on... BONUS... i left my room and my bed ~ to my credit i did my strength training last week 'cause i do that upstairs anyway... but had not done any real cardio 'cause i need to finish Season 1 and 2 before Season 3 premieres on 10/6...

but what you need to realize is... i fought this... for exactly this reason... this is how i get... all consumed... thank the good LORD this started after the kids went back to school... i can get my fix in while they are in school and not feel like a total degenerate...

here's my deal... i absolutely love Hurley... Sawyer (i know can't help it)... Charlie...

i absolutely can NOT stand... Locke (sp?)... Clair(not sure why ~ just something)

i'm not sure what i think about 'the tailers' yet ~ although was very happy that Rose got her husband back...

this is good tv... i gave up on tv... i gave up after too many different versions of the lawyer drama... the medical drama... the csi's... the law and orders (sorry jocelyn)... too many reality game show dramas... you get my point here i think... there was too much the same ~ no one was being creative... at least in my opinion anyway... was never much of a sitcom fan... well Arrested Development being the most recent exception but that's even been a fight to keep on the air... i like funky tv... always have... so this totally appeals to me and i'm not happy... i could be doing so many better things with my time than watching tv... although i guess once i'm caught up the time commitment will reduce so that is a good thing

so yes Gage i should have listened... yes you were right i love it...
