Weigh-in Wednesday - Ups and Downs



180.3lbs this morning. Down half a pound from last week but still up 2lbs from 2 weeks ago. I'm disappointed, I'm not going to lie. I'm really up and down the last few weeks. I regained my focus and then I majorly fell off the wagon, for a week and then I got back on track this week.

In terms of exercise, as you know I completed my 2nd 6 Week Challenge on More Workouts and now I'm focusing on Gold's Cardio Gym (Boxing) on the Wii, some fitness DVD's and Wii Fit Plus. I'm also getting serious about my half marathon training. It's just over three months away so I need to get back on track with my running and follow my training plan.

I can't believe that February is almost finished. I'm on track for Fitness February, I've exercised everyday this month so far. We're going away this weekend (Thursday to Sunday) and I've already planned ahead to make sure I get exercising every day!

I did an exercise DVD yesterday for the first time since before we got the Wii in October and it was great! It was nice to do something different and to see how far I've come. I was able to do the entire workout properly without making any short cuts, plus added two extra sections for 50 minutes total. I can feel my muscles today, but it's all good. I know EA Sports Active really helped me with that because I could do the lunges, squats and all the exercises for that matter, correctly and I felt SO strong. That really gave me a boost, to see my progress in a different way, to feel it and not just worry about what the scale or the tape measure say. I felt good, and that was awesome!
Last but not least, check out the Bronze Medal I won over at the Shinking Jeans Olympics!! One for Wall Sit and Jumping Jacks! I was so excited to win!! :) It was a lot of fun to participate but I still can't get over the numbers some ladies put up for Hula Hoop!! CRAZY!
Well I have a TON of stuff to do before our trip so I hope everyone has a great week. Let me know how you did this week. What are the ups and downs you struggle with?

EA Active on the Wii

So I just finished one of my 30 day challenge workouts on EA Active for the Wii...I think it was number 10 or 11..anyway, I love the Wii. I've noticed a major difference in my arms and legs from just the first half of the 30 day challenge. It's going to take me longer than 30 days to complete, but when I do it again on Medium I'm really going to try and do it within the 30 days. The More Workouts is coming out in November and I really want to get it.
I also love doing workout DVD's but since I got the Wii I haven't done them at all, but I might start again for some variety.
I feel better after doing it, now I must plan my day tomorrow. My 2 year old is at daycare so I have to be strategic with my time and make the most of my day!
