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...

Play Ti...."ahem".... EXERCISE TIME!

I am not an Exerciser. 

It is one of my biggest downfalls.  

I've tried in the past to start exercising but I always fizzle out. FAST.

Recently, however, my husband bought me the Wii Fit Plus.  

I think I've mentioned it previously..... but I can't say it enough.....

I LOVE it! 

I find myself pushing myself further than I would have ever gone on my own, because I want to finish the game.  It is like having a personal trainer.... except instead of someone standing over me hollering to Go Faster! Push Harder! It is my own competitiveness coming out to Drive me on harder, faster, and longer than I thought I ever could. 

I've never viewed myself as a competitive person.... but I guess I am.  Atleast...... I am with myself. 

Another game I REALLY enjoy is Just Dance 2 for the Wii.

This one also gives me a GREAT workout, but with this game.....

I don't feel like I'm working out! It is SO MUCH FUN!! 

The entire family enjoys it. By the time I have done about 4 songs, I've worked up a pretty good sweat, and my arm and sometimes leg muscles are SCREAMING at me! I try to do as many songs as I can, and I try to get the highest score I can... 

I was worried about how I was going to incorporate exorcise into my days.... afraid I would fall back on old habits and NEVER do it....

But now, I get to PLAY every morning and get a workout in the process!! 

Yay Wii!!!

What A Week! - Ice, Snow, and Exercise

WOW!! What a week it has been!! 

The kids and my husband have all been home since Monday Evening.  No work, and no school due to this CRAZY weather we are getting!  Growing up, I RARELY saw Snow.  Occasionally we would get an Ice-Storm but it was melting by the next day.  We got a record breaking snow for Texas last year in this area, and THIS year we have already had Snow TWICE!!! In Fact.....  

It is Snowing right now!!!! 

I love it!!! Sucks for the paychecks, but............ I'm a kid at heart. 

I LOVE SNOW!!!!!

Not everyone is crazy about being stuck at home though.... a/k/a my husband...  He gets just a little bit stir crazy... LOL.
