Day 12

Today I did the Wii Fit Plus, as it is a "rest day" on EA Active Sports. I did 30 minutes and burned 109 calories. I want to continue to exercise, but I don't want to overdue it while I'm on this diet.

R3P2D2 (Round 3, Phase 2, Day 2)

This morning I weighed in at 188.2! Sweet.


Bust: 38.0 (-0.5)
R Arm: 11 (-0)
Waist: 34 (-1)
Hips: 42.5 (-0.5)
R Thigh: 21 (-0)

Not bad! We will see how tomorrow goes. Off to wake the Monkey Boy up!

Have a good day. Make it count!

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength! (Phil 4:13)

So far so good...

I am really making an effort to blog/exercise early. It's not before 2pm, but we have been pretty busy all day. At least I'm blogging at 3:30pm. When I said "before 2pm" on my day off, I know it's something I am going to have to strive for, rather than a "no sugar or soda" or "exercise everyday" type thing. The fact that I am here now, is progress lol.

I just did 30 Wii Fit minutes. My plan was to do more but the hubby is barking at me because we have more errands to run. I will get back on and finish what I started when we get home from the store and my mother's house. I also want to get on the treadmill.

So far so good on the no sugar/soda thing. Soda really isn't a problem for me, so it's kind of a freebie (?). It doesn't bother me like sugar, but it's a good thing to cut out nonetheless. We even went out for breakfast and my first reaction was to order "the same" as my hubby (diet soda) but I remembered and ordered an iced tea instead. Not my fav, but I used some Splenda and a lemon and it was tolerable (lol). I also had whole grain whole wheat pancakes w/ sugar free syrup, turkey bacon and egg whites.

My plan is to lose more weight this year, than I did last, so I am motivated.

I'll update later with what else I do.

Have a great Saturday! Make it count and don't give up on your goals! Just adjust them to make them "doable" and build from there :).

I can do this. I am a star.

Day 364 (day 7 / week 51)

Wednesday, December 30, 2009

It was a day off and I got exercise in w/out even realizing it (sweet and thank you Monkey Boy!). By the end of the night I was panicking that it was bedtime and I hadn't done anything. My arm felt a little sore and I kept playing w/it not even realizing why it was sore.

The Monkey Boy got some game accessories for the Wii for Christmas: a steering wheel and a golf club for the Wii remote. He wanted to golf but kept swinging it like a bat, so I put on Wii Baseball and he just bugged me. I played many years of softball and I guess the game got the best out of me and I ended up playing it for an hour. My left arm is sore from "pitching" so long story short, I got in a little "exercise" but it's definitely better than nothing. I was so happy that I had played, because if I hadn't, then I would have done forearm curls or something in bed to make up for it. Two days before the end and I blow it now? pssht.

Anyway have a good night.

PS i am noticed that I messed up on my numbers somewhere. It turns out I dupelicated day 292 (day 5 / week 41)--October 19 & 20. I started to fix those days and went through a few weeks, but I am just too tired, so I fixed today's number. Sorry for the goof up (it was bound to happen, right? lol).

Day 317 (day 2 / week 45)

I think I realized today why I procrastinate with blogging. I am not procrastinating with blogging so much as I am with a 2nd part of exercise. I always exercise early in the morning, but I have this intention to exercise a 2nd time in the day. I have mentioned a few times that if I don't exercise in the mornings then I have a difficult time in the afternoon. I think this is why I blog so late. I want to exercise late, but keep putting that off, essentially putting off blogging. :)

Glad I figured that out.

Today I did 30 Wii minutes (golf for 10, balance/posture for 10 and yoga for 10). I also did 25 minutes of yard work. I intended to do more and get back on the Wii but I procrastinated. lol. Oh well, at least I got something done. I was really sore today from yesterday (golf and flying). My shoulders and hip flexors and waist are sore. The good kind of sore :).

We are having the bug guy come out again tomorrow (he was just here like maybe 2 weeks ago and we haven't seen many dead bugs like we should have) and then it's my hubby's sister's birthday, so it won't be a late day (or a 2 parter) for exercise, like I intend most days. I will just be exercising in the am, and then I will blog about it afterward, since I have no reason not to. lol. We'll see how that goes lol.

Have a great night and an awesome weekend!

Day 296 (day 2 / week 42)

somewhere a day got lost...

I remember posting this, in fact I posted it on sparkpeople but it just didn't save in blogger(???):

Day 295 (day 1 / week 42)

Today I got up early and did the Wii Fit Plus. I did yoga, strength training, and balance games. I discovered (reading the manual) that there was this place that you can go to on Wii Fit Plus, where they have pre-planned routines for different focal points (over indulgence, balance, back and posture, abs, arms, legs, etc) and in those routines you can combine them. I combined a lot of them and got a 24 Wii minute combo of everything across the board, which was a lot of fun.

I ended it with a few rounds of Kung-Fu, which I think is my favorite. I unlocked "advanced" for more of a challenge, so it's a little longer (I think) and a little harder. It's fun.

I got Pebbles to a vet today (over 2 hours on the road for 5-10 mins with the vet). He said she had a reaction to the sutures, so the protrusion I see is fluid. He said it's not normal, and the fact that she just recently got this isn't that normal either, but it's easy to "fix." He drained it, gave me antibiotics for her for a week, told me to put a warm compress on it twice a day and to come back to have it drained if need be. When we left, it was not that visible anymore. Looking at her now, I see it again. lol. I wish he was closer. Oh well, gotta do what you gotta do. At least I am not being charged, and I get great gas mileage.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers with Pebbles and my class. I feel blessed because I really understand what is going on. I was able to grasp it studying by myself and w/ a few co-workers, so that was an awesome feeling to know that I am right where I am supposed to be (such a blessing). My next class is Wednesday, so I have to study a lot tomorrow (I work Sun, Mon, Tues). I plan on getting on Wii Fit again in the morning and then will study the rest of the day (if needed). Gotta work on posture and balance to decrease my Wii Fit Age--today it said I was 43. The first day I did it, it said I was 27. What the heck happened to that!? lol (my balance isn't that great first thing in the morning).

Have a blessed night.
