Snot, Sweat, and Cough

I finally got some exercise in today!!

WOOHOO!!!!

I'm still not 100% well, but for the first time in a week and half, I got in enough exercise to work up a sweat.   I did a little bit of Wii Fit, but I still get winded really easy, so didn't go as hard or long as I usually do.

Afterwards the kids wanted to play on the Wii.  My youngest daughter wanted me to do a Dance Workout Game with her.  How can I say No? 

I told her I would do as much as I could, but I was not feeling well, so wasn't sure how long I would last.

This new Dance Workout game is the GOLD'S GYM DANCE WORKOUT for the Wii.  

It was a lot of fun! I had never tried it before, so wasn't sure if it would be something I could do.  We both had fun, though.

You choose a personal trainer, add in your personal info, such as age, height, and weight, and then you have to answer two questions.  You have to choose what your main objective is, whether it is to lose weight, tone muscles, or become more physically fit, etc.  It also asks you to estimate on a scale from 1-5 how physically fit you feel you are right now.  It takes that information and develops a program for you.  I am starting out with a 3 day program.... I'll see how it goes.  

I selected my current physical level at a 1, but while I did work up a sweat in my workout, I think I could have been pushed a little bit harder.  I may have to change my level tomorrow and see what difference that makes.  

For now.......I'm going to bed, and I am hoping to be feeling more like myself tomorrow.  I will be SO glad when all this chest congestion, cough, and sinus pain/pressure is gone. 

Week 8 Weigh In-

Wow! I can't believe I have been dieting for 2 months now! 

I can't believe I have not cheated in those two months!! 

Since this was week 8, I not only weighed in today, 

but also did measurements. 

I am VERY happy to say that not only did I LOSE 3lbs this week (Yay!), 

I have also lost another 14.25 inches!! 

That makes 34.75 inches total lost since Jan. 3rd.

Baby Oh Baby!

Saturday is my cousin's Baby Shower.  

I already know there will be cake, punch, and M&M Cookies.  My mouth waters just thinking about it.  But I can NOT succumb and eat any! I weigh in on Sunday and I have worked TOO HARD this week to blow it one afternoon.  

Every day so far I have worked out on the Wii. Yesterday I really pushed myself and worked out longer than usual.  I was very hot and sweaty afterwards, but at the same time I felt SO GOOD!!  I have also been really careful on my condiment choices and Lean and Green Meals.  Mostly, I have eaten Egg Beaters for dinner every night.  Except yesterday when I made the soup.  

I'll just keep reminding myself tomorrow, while everyone is eating, on how good it will feel when I jump on the scale and see a loss. 

I feel really good about this week's weigh in.  I hope I won't be disappointed.

Week 6 Weigh In

I did not have high hopes for this weeks weigh in.

Not that I cheated or anything, but there was several days that I did not get all my water in, and I only did my Wii Fit a couple of days...... if that.  On top of all this, I started my period on Saturday.  I was just praying for there not to be a weight GAIN. 

So imagine my SHOCK (and utter joy) when I lost 3 pounds!! 

  Looking back on the week, I realized while I did not set aside time to workout, there were, however, several evenings that I played JustDance2 on the Wii with the husband and kids.  I have to attribute my weight loss this week to that game...
