Been a while!

I cant believe how long its been, Im so sorry.  A lot of things in my life happened, from DH having issues with work to my youngest turning 1 in a few days my middle turns 3 in April and my oldest 10 in June.  I got sick for a while causing me not to be able to really eat or anything on top of everything else.
So due to this stress and sickness I have gained my weight back sadly.  Not all of it but I did gain some back causing me to be very upset with myself.  I came to notice today due to the weight gain back my lower back kills me if I do too much and I have to push thru the pain.  Not good at all I tell you.  So I looked up and talked to several ppl who are doing Weight Watchers.  I have decided April 1st to join, so from today until then Im trying to watch what I eat and do what I have to.  Ill be back on the wii once Im doing weight watches as well not going to let anything stop me.  Im sick of this weight and very uncomfy with everything. 
That is the latest update!

Been a few days! Im now down to 312, which is 15lbs in about a month. So pleased with myself these days!  The wii fit helps a lot especially when I cant get outside to do anything unless its to shovel snow which I dont enjoy at all.  The girls like to do it too so its a win win!  Im thinking of getting another fit game or something to add into my work out.  A friend of mine does a lot from the wii fit to the biggest loser dvd to a 2 mile walk with Leslie Summon.  Ive done the walk before but I dont have the 2 mile, I get mine off my in demand fit tv and it only shows the 1 mile, guess I could do it twice.  Add that with the wii fit, but I do a lot of the walking on the wii fit, so Id like something else.  Any ideas?

Feb 2 ,2011

Cant believe its Feb already!  My days are going so well, I went to the dr Monday and found out my scale is on and my wii board isnt.  So Im down another 2lbs since Monday 315 that is 12lbs in less then a month.  So happy!!  Sadly the last 2 days I havent had time to work out, Sat I was so busy doing things and Sunday the house had to be cleaned big time.  Today Ill do it later when the girls head to bed, Im loving the wii fit board.  I do this kung fu thing and its so funny to watch me do it.  My oldest yells at me how to do it as you have to follow the ppl behind you.

My oldest is in love with the biking or the running, which I cant do but she likes them. My middle who is only 2 also does it.  They wont allow her to do it under her profile as they put her at baby status which is anyone under the age of 3.  Her little avatar thing is even a baby, she tells me she isnt a baby so she wasnt happy about that.  But she is able to do some of the games even the hula hooping, but later gives up.  We want to get her the Nick Fitness, which is all Nick Jr cartoon ppl doing the working out with them.  I heard its geared toward them too so they are easier.

Eating has gotten easy too, I dont even double think if I should eat this or that anymore.,  I look at the carbs and calories too now when I buy something.  My hubby is getting into more watching what he eats too which is always a plus!

I didnt get to work out yesterday, was feeling off and just not wanting to do it.  So I decided to skip yesterday, but made it up today.  I did 1 hour on the wii fit plus.  I did 20 mins of the hula hoping and 30 mins of the free step then 10 mins of the golf.  I was really working it off and sweating big time.  Im starting to get into the grove of trying to do at least 30 mins a day.  If I can get in more I do.

I ate cheerios for breakfast and the last of my salad with chicken.  Dinner is hamburgers and rice and veggies then snack I may do yogurt or wheat thins which I only eat 16 the serving size. 

It does get easier after the first week, so if your trying to lose weight and think you cant do it stick to it!

Weigh in was today lost another 2 lbs in the week! Im down to 317, so a total of 10lbs in 3 wks!! So happy about that.  I found out that my scale which is what I use to weigh myself and my wii board dont match at all.  One says 317 other says 321.  I found out my friends is the same way, they are off any where from 3-4lbs.  Very odd, I thought it was my scale at first but then I found out its not as my friend checked it out too.  So for the time being going with the scale and not the wii board.  When I first did the board it said I was down to 317 but my scale said 319.  So Im sticking with the scale, I have my dr appointment Monday I will see what theirs says and go from there as to which is right.  Im hoping my scale becuase if not I only lost 6lbs in 3 wks which will piss me off.

Today I missed breakfast again, not happy about it.  But I havent been able to sleep the last few days.  Some stress that is going around isnt helping.  I got up around 3am to go to the bathroom and couldnt get back to sleep.  So at 6 had to get the oldest up and going, got her off to the bus others were not up yet so I went to lay back down.  Never actually fell back asleep until they were up, hubby took them thankfully. So I missed breakfast due to it.  I did however have a salad with chicken and my smoothie for lunch.  Yesterday I had oatmeal with bananas and then for lunch I had the rest of that chicken santa fe stuff over the rice.  Dinner I had lasagna roll ups, which I only had 2 of the noodles so that wasnt too bad.  Tonight doing pork chops and who knows, I think rice and veggies.  I so have to start taking a vitamins even if I try to eat better.  I noticed Im still not getting the amount of fruit and veggies in.

The wii fit plus in love with it.  I have found out that they have a driving range, you hit 20 balls in five mins and burn 38 calories in that time.  And the hula hoping Im in love with! I do 10 mins one way and 10 mins the other way I burn almost 200 calories in that 20 mins alone! It rocks, I did some of the balance games to calm down after doing all of that and some of them are hard.  The boxing I have tried once but I couldnt figure out the feet so I havent done it since.

It has helped a ton to keep me going on the work out.  Ive gone from 30 mins to 60 mins, I cut them in half too.  30 mins when the girls are down for a nap and then 30 mins after my youngest heads to bed but before my shows come on.  This way I can burn off dinner too.  My oldest loves doing it too and my hubby has gotten into it as well.  Now his eating habits havent done very well which really does upset me, but I cant force him to eat something or not eat something.

All in all doing ok and feel better.  Monday I go to the dr and Id love to see the scale down a ton.  We will see, I did want to be 310 when I went but it wont happen sadly.  I have to go get my youngest who is now up from her nap.  So I wouldnt have covered the 1 hour anyway!

Jan 24th, 2011

Its been a few days, sorry if anyone does read this!  Ive been doing so well eating these days and I got the wii fit plus on Thurs.  Ive been doing it every day expect yesterday.  Yesterday my legs hurt so bad from doing the free step that I thought it was best to not do it.

For breakfast I had yogurt and a banana.  Lunch I had 2 pork chops that I had left in the freezer, dinner will be a hamburger and rice.  The other night I made Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken which is from weight watches, OMG love it!!!  Everyone in the house loved it and it makes so much that I had some left over.  Its got black beans, corn, chicken, tomatoes and some spices in it.  I left somethings out, then you put it over rice.  So good!  Im going to make it again next week.

The wii fit plus if your thinking of getting it GO FOR IT! Well worth the money, Ive been doing free step which is steping on and off the board while you can watch tv.  You keep it on and listen to the remote, you can do it for 10-20 or 30 mins.  I do it for 30 mins, which I get around 2500-2600 steps.  I burn around 230-250 calories, and I did the boxing today.  That is neat, you have to move your feet and hands at the same time.  I didnt do well but I did 10 mins of it.  Id like to try again tomorrow, then they have the running.  Which isnt for anyone my size yet, I did try it.  You only use the remote, hold it or put it in your pocket. Then you run, you follow a guide in front of you and can do short or long distance.  My oldest could do long distance but not me I barely made the short.  How bad is that?!?

Its been busy around here but Im still doing good at working out and eating right.  I wont do a weigh in until Wed because that will be a week, Im going to cry if I gained any now that Im doing more.

Jan 21, 2011

I missed yesterday as I was running around all day.  Today was good, I feel less tired as Ive been working out and eating healthy.  So this am I was up around 6, got breakfast at 730.  I had oatmeal with bananas mixed in which was good.  Then for lunch I had a salad with chicken and a smoothie(banana and OJ).  Im going to make pork chops and rice for dinner, then yogurt for snack before bed.  I bought myself yogurt and wheat thins as a snack and some other crackers that the girls have been eating already.

I went out and bought the wii fit plus yesterday.  I didnt do a whole lot on it yesterday other than my profile which was interesting.  Today I was able to actually do something, they have this thing called free strep which is where you are able to follow the remote with your steps but still watch tv.  I just changed the channel and watched Bones on my DVR.  I got 30 mins in and did over 2000 steps and burned 233 calories.  Which isnt a lot so Id like to do another 15 mins or something else when the girls go to bed later.  I want to check it out more when I can.

I think its going to help me out a lot, BTW Im down going by my wii fit plus another 2lbs.  317lbs is what it says! So Im down 10lbs going by that, so happy!!!!
