Wii Fit Exercise

I did a little bit of exercise today. Yeah!! The wii fit is perfect due to it is not intense movements and such. Today I did the hula hoop twice, step aerobics once and the jogging once. That jogging is a kicker since I am not a runner. But it was nice to move a little :) The wii fit is also fun because you can set goals and it keeps track of the BMI thing. Super Fun!

I got this out of Eating Better Cookbook

Weigh-In 2

Happy Day :) Weight for the week . . . . . . . . 187.4

Now if I can exercise imagine the numbers then woo-hoo

Walking and more walking

I havent been doing heavy duty exercising but I have been trying to move more. I have been walking to the post office and to Madelyn's school. For some reason I feel so off balance and get dizzy after awhile when I walk that it makes it difficult to do too much. Hopefully that feeling will go away soon.

The new hype for magazines is "lose weight while walking." I think it is awesome because anybody can get up and walk and then once you get your weight down and comfortable you can do some better exercises along with your walking. So I say get started go walk and create a new you :)

the scary number

I plan on weighing myself at the beginning of each week just to add some excitement to this journey and let me know I am on the right path. My goal number, of course we have to have a goal in sight, would be 145lbs if not better.

The verdict is in and my starting number is. . . . . . . 191.8

such an ugly number but it is going down so that gives me hope :)

This is the beginning. . . . .

of a new life. Let's hope I can stick to it. Buying this scale signifies a change that I hope happens each week as numbers go down. Slowly of course since I am 2 weeks post baby but I still need to start the habit now of being healthy. I look forward to blogging about this adventure
