Description
This month on Sisters in Gaming we take some time to say what we want to say, some times we take 5. It may take us awhile, but we get it out eventually. We also decide to go for the record of longest podcast EVAR!!! Don't worry, this will not be the norm. Reviews this month include; Critter Crunch (PSN), Uno (PSN) and A Boy & His Blob (Wii). We discuss Excercise Games, giving you our history with the genre and telling you what we think about them regarding girl gamer stereotypes. Crafting Mama features our completed Perler Notepads. Our Mommy Minute focuses on Reading vs. Gaming. We share with you our news items for the month and tell you how to contact us. Thanks for listening!

SaberG's Weightloss Progress Blog

I started a blog to track the effectiveness of weightloss video games. I'm starting out with the light workout in the 30-day challenge in EA Active, I will move up to the medium and hard within the next 90-days. We'll see which level, if any, is most effective. I will also be doing other games, WiiFit and Yourself! Fitness, for a minimum of 30-days to test their effectiveness as well.

My daily calorie intake: 1500

I will be tracking what I eat using the Lose It! application for the iPhone/iPod Touch.
