Wii fit

Another day tackled. I ended up working about 32 minutes on the wii fit. although i do not feel that i actually workout for a full 32 minutes. i feel that for every 40 seconds I do it says I did 2 minutes, which is not right and is not realistic. But I worked out mostly on strength and yoga. The strength always gets me. I feel it's testing my balance more then anything else and my balance is not good, especially when I'm asked to move and stay put while on one leg! The last thing I did was a 4 minute run with the wii fit. it calls it a long run. 4 minutes is not a long run. but the run kicked my bum! I will not be working out tomorrow as I have twoo root canals and it's Cassi's 18th Birthday! I atleast think I will still be getting the root canals, but I am in lots of pain in my teeth again and they may not want to work on them while they are infected, which i may have to get more antibiotics and then go back next week instead. I will see tomorrow and if the verdict is to wait until the infection is gone then I will workout. I just need to know before my appointment at 10am. So I will be calling first thing in the morning! Wish me luck, I'm terrified of dentists, even though they've come a long way.

Wii Fit workout

I managed to get in a 30 minute workout on the Wii last night. But Allison still came to see where I was and what I was doing. It seems no one can keep her occupied for awhile while I'm working out. But I had 20 minutes of aerobics, in which I did 10 minutes of advanced step (they call it), and rhythm boxing for 10 minutes as well. To be honest the advanced step is not that advanced. I do not feel that I'm working out too much at all. But by the end of the workout, once I stop my heart is going pretty good, so maybe I am getting a workout. I just don't feel it. Then there's the boxing. I do feel the boxing as long as I put everything into it. The thing I do not like about the boxing is that you do the same things over and over again. I wish there were other things to do with it. But as long as I throw my punches from my hip like it says to I get tired pretty quickly. But the Wii remote doesn't pick up some of the things I do. After the aerobics I did a little bit of strength training. I get a bit of a workout with the strength training. The thing I hate about this is the trainer. I can't ever do axzactly what the trainer is doing. I don't feel I am doing the exercise right if I'm not matching the trainer on the television. Though I suprised myself last week when I was doing Yoga. I tried the shoulder stand and it took me a few tries to get my legs over my head, while laying down on my back but I did it! From there it was easy to get my legs up into the right position. But I was pretty proud of myself for that one. Well, it's getting to be pretty late in the morning and I need to get out of bed. Hopefully I will get some Wii Fit in today.

New Regime!

Alright, so I have not been keeping up with the Wii Fit. I need to find the time to workout on it. I would do it at nap time but I just want to relax with my daughter. So I am going to be trying to get it in when my hubby is home. This way he can keep our daughter entertained while I workout on the Wii Fit. I'm determinded to see if the Wii Fit actually works. But that means I have to start over. Also, I WILL be starting to journal my food. I'm going to do what my husband has done and he has lost lots of weight all on his own with just reading up on things about food and working out at home. He told me to start I need to write down everything I eat for the next few days and not to change anything to see what I eat. Then I can start changing my diet. So changing my diet and Wii Fit workout. Though I will not keep up with the Fit everyday, I will be going to workot at the gym or go for walks on some days. I have a gym membership I need to use it right? So here's to a re-start.

No Wii Fit yesterday

Well,
I did not do any Wii Fit yesterday. but I feel I exercised enough yesterday with the 30 minutes of snow plowing I did . I did a lot of snow shoveling by myself and felt it after I was finished. I thought since I did all of that today that that was a good workout for today. But I will be getting on the Wii Fit today! I also have a job interview at a bank today. I don't know if I'm looking forward to it or not. There are a lot of thoughts going through my head and I think most of my thoughts are for I'm not ready to get a part time job. I'm not ready to give up family time with Jason and Allison, and I'm not ready to give up mommy and Allison time as well as the thought of having another child. Because with getting a job there would be no thinking about wanting another baby. The only upsides I see to a job is being able to save money, which I don't see how we don't now, and being able to eventually get our own place. I have such a dilema but I will see how the interview goes atleast.

Wii Fit #8

Today is Monday and today was a busy day for me and Allison. I took Allison to story time at the library. After that we went to Jewel to get dinner that I would be making tomorrow. Then we went home, had lunch, and took a nap. after that I woke her up early from her nap and I took her to the Ogden Theater and watched The Princess and the Frog. Which by the way is a great Disney movie! That was our busy day. After dinner I managed to get a 35 minute workout on the Wii Fit. I got in 15 minutes of strength and yoga and 5 minutes of a Wii run. And that's about when Allison kept on coming and bringing me her tea set with a drink for me, so that was that.
I have also started to keep track of what I eat, well, not keep track but I watch what I eat. Breakfast I had an egg, lunch I wasn't too hungry so I had crackers and some cream cheese, not too much. I had a few handfuls of popcorn as well. Then I had a 100 calorie snack pack of chocolate cupcakes, then was dinner in which we had hamburgers with french fries all covered in gravy with carrots and cantaloupe. For dessert I had another 100 calorie pack. that was it! No more for the rest of the night. Well, Allison is yelling and I've got to get her to bed!!!!

Wii Fit workouts #6 and #7

OPPS! Forgot to write about my workout the other day. I'm getting it in today. So My last workout was on Friday. I only managed to get in 20 minutes of aerobics because little Allison had decided twenty minutes was way too long. I meant to get back to it later that night but we needed to get chili ingredients and then we were in bed by the time I realized it. I managed to do the 5 minutes step up workout, the 8 minute boxing workout and the 5 minute hula hoop workout!

WORKOUT #7!
I took Saturday off. Not on purpose, on accident. We were making chili all day and just having fun spending the day together all alone in the house while the grandparents and aunt went to see the movie The Blind Side. So I worked out today after church! Go me! I got in 28 minutes of aerobis first. Did a 10 minute boxing workout, a 5 minute aerobics workout, a hula hoop workout, another 5 minute aerobic workout, and another hula hoop workout. Then Allison was wanting my attention and daddy was asleep so I stopped for awhile. We had dinner and started the Superbowl! Then I decided I was going to finish my workout and I did! I did a half hour of strength training, I managed to do everything on the strength training except for the push ups and side planks, those push ups hurt my hands, because I have to do the push ups on the balance board and it's not ssmooth. Then I did a half hour of yoga training. I did everything on the yoga training as well! Even the shoulder stand and that took me awhile to get my legs over my head then straight up into the air! but I did it! I weighted myself after the first 30 minutes earlier and was happy to be back at the weight I started at in the beginning of last week. I managed to gain 2 pounds through the week. Then after dinner and after my last hour workout I weighted myself again and I am up 1.6 pounds!! I'm quite upset, something needs to change and I think it's my eating habits. So I am going to go out and get me a new notebook and I'm going to start writing down what I eat. I'm also going to drink more water, less diet soda, and no more snacks. Ok I will snack but I will make sure it is either 80 calorie yogurt or a fruit of some kind! Maybe that will help me loose the weight!! But tomorrow is the start of a new week and hopefully a better workout routine for the week.

Wii Fit report #5

Alright today was not my best day when it came to exercising. Jason keeps on telling me to exercise when I put Allison down for a nap but I can not resist the urge to lay down as well and watch some television or just have some ME time that doesn't involve me running around.
But I did get in a tiny workout. I did 20 minutes of the strength training. I was hoping after the shopping trip for chili tonight I would have gotten in my other 20 minutes but I didn't. So my PLAN is to get an extra 20 minutes done tomorrow, so a full hour. Taking walks are starting to sound more appealing to me. I'm not liking the bosy test I take everyday. BEcause I've apparently gained 2 pounds!!!! Come on!!!! And it doesn't help when there are lots of yummy treats in this house. I can not resist them, must eat the sugar sweets!!!!!! I think I need a junk food intervention. I think once I put my mind to eating as healthy as Jason does then I could possibly drop the weight quicker. But the strength training kicked me tushy. I also have a gym membership, so why don't I do that as well, since I am paying for it. My goal is to still workout on the Wii Fit 5 days a week for now. But once the weather stops being weird then I will start going for walks!

Wii Fit report #4

So yesterday was not that great of a day for me. By the time I was going to work out it was 10pm at night. So yesterday was my second day of not working out. I am going to work out tomorrow and Saturday. I did manage to get in my workout today!!! I did 20 minutes of Yoga, with the help of my beautiful daughter Allison and I did 20 minutes of aerobics! Hopefully tomorrow I will do 20 minutes of strength instead of yoga. I do feel that I am getting a workout when I'm doing the aerobics but I'm still not feeling too much with the yoga or strength. Maybe I'm still not doing it right. But I will try to fix that! The wii Fit also manages body tests for you to do daily to check out how you are coming along. Yesterday when I was done with the test my Wii fit age came in at 41 years old!!! Oh my goodness, I was not coordinated yesterday. But today when I did it my Wii Fit age was 26!!!! I'm 26 years old so I was very happy with that. But I know when I do it tomorrow I will be in the 30's somewhere. It always fluxuates (do not know how to spell that, sorry). Well, that was my report for the day, I do need to start eating better! My husband but out potatoes and noodles. He only eats meats, fish, salads, veggies, and fruits. He is a sucker for those Milk Duds. But he doesn't eat much of any sweet anymore. I wish I could be strong like him but I LOVE food. I tend to snack all day with allison. Maybe I should just not snack and when I do snack it isn't healthy. I'm going to strive to be better like my husband so I can loose weight like he is. I just don't think working out will do the trick. I'm also going to start exercising without the Wii as well. This way I can get in more. I think I will start to take walks with allison and do the Wii Fit. I think that may help me. My goal is to loose 30-35 pounds! My Wii Fit goal is to loose 23 pounds in 6 months. Here's to hoping I can get it done!!!! That's almost 2 pounds a week. I will report in tomorrow!

Wii Fit day 3

Ok,
I managed to fit in another day of the Wii Fit with toddler in tow. I got in 34 minutes today. I would have gone longer but my daughter was bothering me the whole time. I really should try to do this when she naps but I just want to relax when she naps.
I did 20 minutes of aerobis today. I did some step ups, some intense hula hooping, and some more boxing! Then I did some strength training, various ones about 8 minutes of strength training and I did 6 minutes of some yoga. My goal by the end of the week should be 20 minutes of aerobics, 20 minutes of strength, and 20 minutes of yoga. the only problem with this Wii Fit is that you log more time on aerobics then on the other two. so I don't know. I can tell you this, I am not stable when doing the exercises, atleast that is what the thing tells me. But who is stable when they're moving around??? Well, so far this week 4 days are done, three days Wii Fit and one day off. I will be Wii Fiting on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday! And if I'm up to it Saturday, but I may take that day off as my second day. But I will try not to take it off. Does anyone else who reads this and has a Wii Fit, do you feel like you are getting a workout on the strength?? I really don't, but maybe I'm just doing it wrong???

Late Wii report #2

Well,
Sunday had come and gone and low and behold I did not Wii Fit that day. So I took that day as day 1 break. Yeah I know I had only done the Wii Fit the day before, why did I need a break, right??? Well I did get my half hour Wii Fit in on Monday!!!
I did about 12 minutes of aerobics. Steps and boxing. The boxing is FUN!! Then I did about 12 minutes of strength training. I really need to work on those jackknifes. the cool thing about the Wii Fit is that it tells you what strength work outs to do with the Yoga to get the area of interest worked out to the max. After the strength training I did some yoga to end it up. I still don't feel like I am really working out though. Maybe I should try a little harder huh? I am thinking about getting Wii Fit 2. Maybe that'll have more things for me to play with. I'm going to Wii Fit today as well. I should be doing that right now but we've been busy today.
I went over to the Wilsons home with Allison so her and Jenny Caldwell could visit teach me while our children played. We were going to go to the library but that didn't work out. We lost track of time, opps! But still the kids love to play. I just have to get Allison to learn to share. Being an only child sucks sometimes with the sharing. But after that lovely visit Jason called to be picked up for lunch today. So off we went to Jewel and then we picked up Jason and had lunch at McDonalds. I did pretty well, got a chicken sandwich (minus the maya) and a side salad with balsalmic vinnegrette (only used half the dressing) and I shared a medium diet coke. We finally got home about 12:40pm. And Allison went right down for a nap. I was hoping when I got home that the kitchen would have been magically cleaned but nope the cleaning fairy did not come. It's alright though, it doesn't take too long to clean up, about 20-30 minutes. I did however clean up the living room this morning (put Allisons toys away). I left a blanket out and didn't fold it and I didn't vaccuum, but I did clean. So once Allison was asleep I went downstairs and cleaned the kitchen and brought in the few groceries I bought. Now I am going to add something else to our taxes and get them mailed out today, or tomorrow. Hopefully I will get Wii Fit in this afternoon, before Jason gets home from work!
