Day 57 (Phase II): Another One Bites the Dust

Total Pounds Lost: 21
Wii Fit Age: N/A

I'm happy to say that even with a splurge on Friday, I never lost any steam. I am on track (or at least I think I am).

Things are going well - I am still doing Wii Fit every day no matter what. It helps keep me moving and motivated. Plus, my friends and their motivational pledges help me stay motivated as well.

I'm very lucky to have such supportive and amazing friends.

Tomorrow is another day and I just keep on trekking.

Day 52 (Phase II) : Migraine Madness

Total Pounds Lost: 20
Wii Fit Age: N/A

Another day another pound.

So today I am in migraine hell, so feeling good isn't really an option. I was terribly ill this morning, but it is a Wednesday, so we had errands to run. Running errands is a chore, but it distracted me.

We were out and about and hungry (and at Home Depot), so we went to Sweet Tomatoes for lunch. I was very smart in my food choices - salad with fat free dressing and a low fat soup. I only splurged for a half of a low-fat corn muffin. Dessert is always an option here since they have fat free yogurt. Yummmm. I skipped the chocolate syrup and caramel sauce.

Did the Wii Fit for another 30 minutes today, but my performance was spotty due to my tunnel vision and lack of balance. I still got it done.

Here is hoping the migraine disappears soon and I am back feeling good. It isn't worth it losing the pounds if I don't feel good!

Day 51 (Phase II) : Wii Fitter

Total Pounds Lost: 19.5
Wii Fit Age: 39

So the pounds keep coming off, at least for now. I will continue my current plan of shrinking my stomach and Wii Fitting daily. I even have Mom on the WF every day now.

It has been a tough week as things seem to be progressing in life without Dad. The kitchen is complete (well mostly) but we aren't really cooking in it. I grilled the other day for our first cooked meal using the new counters/cabinets. Grilled steak and corn and world's smallest baked potato. Luckily, not pounds were added (none were lost either).

So the plan is to cook one meal a week for ourselves (yet healthy) and continue with the mostly Lean Cuisine-type dinners. I have a large salad every night filled with veggies and low fat vinaigrette dressings and have low cal snacks whenever I feel too hungry. So far, so good.

My plan is to hit my goal on Wii Fit (5 more pounds) before I leave for my July vacation to SF on the 23rd. Time flies.

Day I Don't Know

Total Pounds Lost: 18
Wii Fit Age: 37

So after a rough year (laid off by EarthLink, re-injuring my back and Dad passing away) I am back at it again. For fear of complete and utter failure, I did not tell anyone I was doing this until I was well on my way. So if you made a pledge, you will be getting an email from me about this and giving you the chance to either a) back out or b) restate your intended pledge.

Thanks to everyone :)
