Weigh In # 2: Plus Size Bloggers Tracking Challenge: 4 Weeks to a Better You

I couldn't believe it when I stepped on the WiiFit Balance Board to do my Body Test this morning and I had lost weight.  I didn't have a chance to exercise yesterday and Saturday, though I did a little bit before bed I wasn't feeling very well and started getting nauseaus and dizzy halfway through my 20 minute free step.  On top of that we had a fellowship meal at church yesterday, though I was proud of myself for not filling my tray with everything available (this is what I almost always used to do, I mean you have to try out everything don't you?). I also avoided the cupcakes, though the rest of the family indulged.  I gave into a little candy mouse (one Hershey's kiss, a chocolate covered marachino cherry and two pieces of sliced almond), but don't feel guilty about that.  Come to think of it, I did have part of a cupcake on Saturday because we made Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese frosting for the bake sale.  Let's see, what did my exercise look like this week:

This one shows Monday through Sunday as that was when I was posting for the Get Fit With Wii Fit which I guess she is no longer doing.

So from now on I will just go Tuesday through Monday so I can post this with my Plus Size Bloggers post.

(Glad I was posting this, I just realized I didn't record my aerobic exercise from my DVD in the Activity Log)

I think it is fun to see what I have been doing the most.  All this is in my routine.  The Tricep Extension has jumped up a bit because I have been doing it 2-3 times during my workout.  Need to strengthen my arms, they have always been weak.

Last week's weight

This week's weight!!

Love that downward slant.  The really amazing thing is that I lost 1.7 pounds since Wednesday (when I weigh in for Power of One and Pound for Pound).

Yes! I got a star.

Starting weight Plus Size Bloggers Challenge: 248.2

Previous Weight: 245.2

Today's Weight: 241.2

Weight Loss This Week: 4 pounds

Total Loss Since started Challenge: 7 pounds

Total Loss since weight loss journey got serious on December 13th 2010: 20.7

That 10 pound goal is looking very doable.  Here's hoping for no setbacks this week.

What I think helped this week:

I exercised twice a day, doing my routine plus extra Training Plus  in the morning, and then the DVD in the afternoon or the DVD in the morning with the routine and Free Step at night.

I would like to improve the water drinking goal; I completely forgot about drinking 2 glasses of water before each meal



Get Fit With Wii Fit Sunday: February 6, 2011

Time to show off my Wii Fit accomplishments this past week.

I had started out only using the Wii Fit because I had misplaced the DVD.  Unfortunately I had gained weight at my Wednesday weigh in.  Looking at the fact that today's weigh in showed that I lost a nice amount, I am positive that my "time of the month" played a big part in my weight gain.  What do you think?

That is a 3 pound loss since Wednesday.

Here are the exercises I did:

And today I burned 677 calories!

Wanted to show how close I am to my intermediate goal.  This goal is the one for The Power of One Challenge over at Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans.

I now know I have to do my DVD in addition to the Wii fit and really watch my sweets. 

Hoping for another good week.

Get Fit With Wii Fit Sunday January 30, 2011

I found a great link up over at Hazel Nut's blog, The Nut House.  Like our family she is using the Wii Fit.  She has a weekly post on Sundays called "Getting Fit With Wii Fit Sundays."  I thought it would be fun to post a more detailed account of my exercise routine each week.  I will still weigh in on Wednesdays, but on Sundays I am going to post how my weekly exercise specifically on the Wii Fit has gone.  I was going to use it as another weigh in day, but decided I would stick with once a week.  (Might have had something to do with a little girl's birthday cake/parties.)

Anyhow, the first picture below shows a typical workout morning time, if I don't use the Aerobic DVD (which I couldn't use this morning as it appears to be misplaced), I get over an hour of exercise in.

I need to reset my calorie burned goal.  It is actually lower than this and I always do more when I get to exercise.  It is a little disappointing that they do not count your outside exercise toward the calorie count as I burn a lot more when I do the DVD.

This past week's exercise credits:

What really stinks is that you don't get a stamp if you don't do the Body Test.  The blue stars mean I lost weight and had a good age.  

I weighed myself on the Wednesday. Love that it is slanted DOWN!

Here is the full week.

The following pictures show my routine:

Here is what I do most frequently:

Some of the other fun things I do each day I choose to do Wii Fit beyond my routine.  Love the boxing and stepping.  We all get frustrated by the obstacle course.  I decided today to add the Bird's Eye Bull's Eye to my daily routine. 

One of these days I will try these...

So, there you have it.  That is how I spend over an hour in the morning and then wonder why I feel like my whole day has gotten away from me.  When I am done the girls each get a turn and daddy and brother.  Luckily we have a rechargeable batteries and a battery charger.
