As you have all heard extensively this week I finally got a Wii Fit. YAY. So this week I have been working out/playing games whatever you want to call it.
I have yet to create a “routine” as-it-were, but I have gotten on every day. My goal is to do 20 minutes. I usually get my 20 minutes in first ~ well more like 3rd thing in the morning. Right behind Hanna’s breakfast and email. I do a bunch of cardio, and then I do some strength training ~ whether it’s the strength moves or yoga and of course I’ve been playing the balance games.
I have always thought of exercise as something very serious, and definitely NOT fun. So Wii Fit is seriously challenging some all of my beliefs around fitness and exercising. I am sure I am still taking it way too seriously but one step at a time.
I have been taking my body test every day and was on a good downward roll the first 4 days, losing a little weight every day, then somehow gained 2 pounds on day 5. I had a crazy day that day and didn’t end up working out until late in the day and I had different clothes on than usual ~ so I just don’t know.
Today I had lost some again, but not all that I had gained yesterday. hmm. It was still a lot of fun.
With anything I think that my diet is going to be an important part of this equation. I am finding hershey kisses to be my downfall these days ~ I have no idea why I bought that big ass bag on sale for 50% off. I think once I can get back into some healthy eating habits this will take off.
For this fitness Friday I’m feeling proud I have been consistent every day this week. I’ve lost a little (which is always good) and I’m having a blast. Have most of the balance games unlocked now, and really working on unlocking faster rythm boxing (and I’ve been told to be careful what you wish for lol). All in all it’s been a great week fitness wise and I’m looking forward to another next week.
Glad you are enjoying your new wii fit…it is awesome! I have found that the diet definitly plays into losing…I definitly couldnt do it with just the Wii fit…but at the same time I definitly couldnt do it with out it either! I really dont have much motivation to do more typical exercise, but love the wii fit! It sounds like you are doing great! Keep up the great work(or fun)!
GREAT JOB!! 🙂 I had the same trouble you did wrapping my mind around the fact that all the fun I’m having on the WiiFit is a legitimate workout…LOL!! Isn’t it great?! I’m looking forward to reading your progress next week, too! 🙂
You’re doing great. Stick with it and over the next few months, you’ll just be having fun playing a game and you’ll see a change. Look forward to reading all about it!
