Wii fit

I have had my wii fit about 2 weeks now and I keep gaining and losing the same 2 lbs. It is so hard with my work schedule. I am glad that I haven't gained anymore weight, but am frustrated at the lack of progress. I hope to do a better job with my eating-which I think my work schedule asside- is the biggest problem. I have lots to do in the yard, but my allergies are really acting up- so I am trying to avoid the yardwork when I can. But that lawn just won't stop growing, and with all the rain- it's growing fast. I hope to be able to stay more focused on my portions and my food choices.

Just plain laziness!

The best of intentions are just not being enough these days. I am the queen of procrastination. I could blame it on the weather-raining and raining and RAINING! But quite frankly, I think I am just being lazy. I am doing better with my eating, so that is good, but I need to get on the stick with the exercising. And cleaning the house, and weeding, and mowing the lawn, and lots of things on my Things to Do List. I have great plans but horrible follow through lately. So, hopefully I can make some progress this weekend instead of putting things off.

Oh, well . . . .

Unfortunately, my busy schedule has interfered with my exercise routine. And my lack of will power has yet again sabotaged my diet. Hopefully, this little lesson has taught me to remain focused and more accountable. We will see. I hope tomorrow is a better day. But have a lot to do, so maybe not. But friday, I have no excuses. . . . Well, not yet anyway.

3.5miles today

Well, today I was on the elliptical for 3 1/2 miles. But this afternoon, my back is killing me. So, I must have pulled it sometime today. The boys and I pigged out on Easter candy yesterday. Which I know isn't good. But really peeps are just sugar, and I only had 1 Reese's eggs. Which are the best candy EVER! But my plan is to not pig out again. The boys are doing a good job of making a dent in the Easter candy. And they are doing a great job of reminding me to exercise. One day at a time.

How many miles can you go?

At the gym, they have a map of the US and they are challenging people to keep track of their miles-to see how where they could have walked/run/biked to. It is kinda fun. Thinking in a year you could have ran to New York. I think Oklahoma City is a more appropriate goal! LOL! Seriously, I am going to keep track, but I am trying to incorporate some of my home DVD's because they have strength training and aerobics together in 1 workout. I figure if I do them 2-3times a week that will help with building more lean muscle. I am still doing way better on my exercise than eating. And I am trying not to let my busy schedule negatively affect me. Well, I have laundry and baking to finish. So, I gotta run!

Why do I have to plateau?

I have been doing okay with my plan. Better with exercising than eating. And I am getting frustrated with my current plateau. Trying to get my house ready to put on the market is taking up a lot of time. I plan to keep taking it one day at a time and not get too frustrated. At least I haven't gained. Working all weekend throws me off a little off schedule with my exercise. I had hoped to get up early and exercise before work, but I really don't sleep well during the day-so it was a no go this afternoon. I think it would be better to work out when I get home. We will see how tomorrow goes.

I have not fallen off the face of the earth!

I had been trying to do a more daily update, but my busy schedule was making that tough. I haven't lost anymore weight, but haven't gained. I have been doing good with exercising, and having hit and miss days with my eating. But there have been some great successes. Like I am not eating after the boys go to bed. And I am truely making a better effort with my choices. And I am not allowing 1 misstep to affect the whole day/week. So, I feel really good about it. I have to work all weekend, but I still hope to do some sort of exercise on those days.
