Fitness Friday - Fitness February Complete, March Challenge started

I've been a bad blogger and a bad tweeter! My problem is I can't do everything 100% all the time. Lately, I've been focusing on the kids and I've been planning family activities for March and April, before I go back to work so then I find my blogging suffers. Or if I'm on top of blogging and tweeting I'll be lacking somewhere else. That balancing act is a struggle for me. So I'm just gonna catch up today!

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?

2nd 6 Week Challenge Completed on EA Sports Active More Workouts


I earned my trophy for my 2nd 6 Week Challenge on EA Sports Active More Workouts. I am so happy to have completed it. Doing a challenge definitely keeps me on track and makes me follow a regular workout schedule. I lost about 5lbs during the challenge, but my eating was really off track for a few weeks of the challenge, so my weight loss wasn't great. I lost half an inch off my arms, and a quarter of an inch off my right thigh and maybe half an inch off my waist. So honestly I'm quite disappointed in my inch loss.

Weigh-in Wednesday - Hello 170's I've arrived!



I'm really sad that I only discovered shrinkingjeans.net recently! I really like the site and thought the Monday challenges look interesting. I will definitely follow along with the next challenge!

This morning the scale said 178.3lbs. I'm down 5.7lbs from last week and 33.7lbs total. Since December 30th I've lost 9.1lbs.

Last week I decided to get out of my slump, to be positive and to get back on track. And I DID IT! I like planning and structure and that is what gets me results. Last week I said I would do certain things to help me succeed:

  • Journal my food everyday(starting that Wednesday)
  • Exercise everyday
  • Be positive
  • Read blogs that inspire me
  • Make healthy choices

Weigh-in Wednesday - Fitness February

Yes I have been down in the dumps however I decided I don't want to stay down in the dumps and watch the scale go up and up. That will NOT happen. I'm feeling better, I need to be positive and I promise I am feeling positive (not just faking it). What helped to change my attitude?
