Day 88 (Phase II): More of Me Gone

Total Pounds Lost: 24
Wii Fit Age: 38!
EA Sports Active Day: 10 of 30-Day Challenge

So another pound plus has melted away - hooray! It hasn't been that hard lately, except that working out has proven to be a bit of a challenge. My knees and back have good days and bad...on the bad I can only do Wii Fit (like today).

I am feeling lighter for the first time - which feels amazing. I am trying not to let the depression of a lack of job and income cause me to backslide...so fingers crossed and nothing but good thoughts for me and my struggle, I hope.

Hopefully, I will be able to do EASA tomorrow.

Day 83 (Phase II): Back on Track

Total Pounds Lost: 22.6
Wii Fit Age: 21
EA Sports Active Day: 8 of 30-Day Challenge

Apparently, the EASA is finally paying off (or beginning to). Today was a big boxing day and it was a lot of fun - but my left punches don't seem to be as strong as my right. As Heather says, I'll do better.

My balance is significantly improved using the EASA. Just check out my Wii Fit Age. I certainly don't feel 15 years younger than I am. But I will take it!

I decided to make yesterday a day of rest instead of today so that I could go see a movie and not worry about getting in a work-out in the morning...lazy-ass, I know. But today was good. I find doing the exercise in the morning significantly improves my energy for the day.

It feels good to be back losing again. I was a bit discouraged when I hit that plateau, but now I feel energized once again.

Day 78 (Phase II): A Mini-Back Slide

Total Pounds Lost: 20
Wii Fit Age: N/A
EA Sports Active Day: 3 of 30-Day Challenge

So I have finally begun to use the EA Sports Active program on my Wii. Talk about kicking my butt into shape! Luckily, yesterday was a mandated day of rest. I have walked, run, lunged, curled, and tennised (okay, I know that is not a verb).

My backslide was actually just before I left for California for a week. I did a pretty good job losing (or staying) at my weight while I was gone. Now that I have been back for almost a week, I am back on track. So I am hoping by tomorrow or Wednesday, I will be back at my 21 pounds lost mark...maybe even more.

I highly recommend the EASA for a great and organized workout. I am working my way through Bob's 30-day challenge...we'll see how this goes. Thanks to Heather, I got a great workout Saturday after my EASA workout helping paint her dining room...that counts!
