So Tuesday, DH had come home with a Wii. On Friday, he comes home with a Wii Fit and I decided to give it a shot. After all, what can it hurt right?

I weigh about 10 lbs more than I thought I did. And because of this and my height, my BMI catagorizes me as 'mildly obese'.

So yesterday, I decided to give it a chance and did a full workout. Boy did it ever kick my butt. I went on the short run and by the time it was over with (about 5 min) I was gasping for breath. When I woke up this morning, my legs were very sore from the yoga/strength exercises but I'm determined to perservere. In the long run it's cheaper than a gym (I think) and I don't have to worry about anybody staring at me (except maybe the cat, who is probably laughing at me anyway).

I am so proud of myself..I managed to complete both the Island Lap and a 10 min Free Run without really stopping. Well..alright. I stopped once in the middle of the Island Lap for about a minute or so and again during the Free Run for a few seconds to get a drink of water. But I still completed them..didn't quit.

Am I the only person who doesn't like the Jackknives? Because I did one set of 10 reps and was thinking, "Yeah I'm not doing THAT again.".

I realized I skipped posting on Weds and Thurs last week. Fri and Sat TOTALLY do not count because we were travelling. Went to a wedding on Fri night out near Hippie Hollow (nudist beach) in Austin which was just about the most amazing thing I've ever seen. I didn't exercise at all on Fri or Sat, unless you count me boogying my butt off at the reception.

I woke up this morning with a sore back..so sore I could barely get out of bed. I took some advil, got DS off to school and came home feeling like crud. So I made myself a bacon sandwich and grabbed some chips and a Dr. Pepper to make myself feel better. Feeling guilty afterwards, I kicked out 20 min of rhythym boxing and 30 min of free step. I know tonight I'm gonna have a crap dinner too. It's kind of chilly out so I'm planning on making my fast-n-dirty from scratch chicken pot pie and maybe some homemade cheese straws.

Ugh.

I did lose almost a pound between yesterday and today though. Only 7 more lbs to go before I hit my goal of losing 10 lbs for DH's birthday in Nov.

I started off three weeks ago really good with my Wii Fit program and I lost about 5 lbs over the course of ten-twelve days. HOWEVER..I went out of town to a wedding over a weekend and gained it all back. So now I'm fighting to get it off. My goal right now is to lose 10 lbs by Thanksgivng and I know if I keep up with the Slimfast I can do it.

Hi there!!

Had to comment. What a great idea to us eyour Wii to excersize. It is making me thing that we need one. Hmmmm, maybe Santa can bring me one You are doing so good at your excersizing!! Congrats!!

Be careful with Slimfast. I know you have had success in the past, but after a while it could start to have the opposite effect. That is what happened to me, I started gaining weight

Have you ever thought of giving Weight Watchers a try? I say this because you obviously share my LOVE for evil foods WW helped me becuase I truly learned how a little of those bad foods can knock me right off my groove. For example: Yesterday I ate a great breakfast, a great lunch and a great supper, I was completely on plan (OP) BUT I had a French Vanilla Smoothie worth 6 points!! 6 points for a drink!! I ended up going over 3 points for the day and it was all for a drink!! I never knew steamed milk with some french vanilla flavor would be that bad for me!! But now that I know that, I realize that in order to have it, I have to EARN it. You can earn activity points for those treats. And you would definatly get activity points from all your excesizing!! Anyway, I am not a spokesperson for weight watchers, I just thought I would suggest it. Let me know if you want links to some of the information.

I will keep checking in on you!!

Congrats on the 3 lbs so far!!

Amy
