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 :)

Day 110 - Fit Me
Total Pounds Lost: 14
Wii Fit Age: 37
More progress despite injury - go me! After another attempted murder at work (some illiterate co-worker can't read the signs saying NO SEAFOOD), but clearly I survived. Someone tried their best to finish me off today, but thanks to Paul thinking on his feet and looking out for me, I was spared the humiliation of blowing up like a balloon and being carted out by paramedics.
I am getting pretty good at the Wii - since playing with it the first day, I have lost 5.7 pounds. I'm on day 7 of 8 in a row and it is really helping. It is amazing how great it feels to work out plus have fun. Between hula hoops, walking tightropes, head butting soccer balls and dressing as a penguin and catching fish (luckily, fake cartoony ones, not ones that can kill me), I am enjoying working out and getting Wii Fit. Here is a review you can read about it.
I'm getting back into a good routine and doing well...let's hope I can keep it up and improve despite the crappy knee!

Day Still Unknown - Wii I'm Getting Fit
Total Pounds Lost: 12
YES! Victory. A couple of days back to my routine (somewhat, anyway) and the pounds start to shed off once again. Yippie!
Adding to my routine, I finally have my Wii Fit after 5 weeks of waiting. I should have had it last week, but was vested by stupid Best Buy computers.
Even though I am having knee pain and should be sitting down, I cracked that thing open and gave it a try yesterday evening. The Wii told me I am 48 years old - nice, huh? Who cares...this tool is cool and is going to help me more and more as I heal up!
Yay, me!

Day Unknown - My Triumphant Return
Total Pounds Lost: 10
So here I am - back again. This will be a very brief post as I am at work and need to be working on my current project, but I feel terrible that I haven't posted any progress and you all probably thought I had given up completely.
Not true! I had some road blocks (car accident, dad in the hospital, my own knee issues, etc.) that I don't want to use as excuses, but they really helped to side-track me and I put a few pounds back on (EEK!).
I am finally back on plan and have figured out how to try and keep these things from hindering my ultimate goal. Unfortunately, my time line has slowly ticked away and I am in the same place I was a couple of months ago. I received my "rewards" for my first two goals (thanks to Delia, Jason and Kyle), and today I feel I have earned them once again.
That's all for now - I promise to start posting regularly once again!
