My computer is back!!!!!!
For all of you wii fit plus users.....
Do you count it as part of your workout? Like record your calories burned from it? I have been even though I beat myself up over it all night. I have the, "your heart rate isn't up, you don't break a sweat, it's not REALLY working out" thing running through my head. I always make sure I do something else but now I find myslef wanting to get done sooner so I can get to something easier. So should I truely count it? I set up a nice strength training circuit last night and it went strsight from one exercise to the next so it was really nice. I feel it in my core and stuff when I do those things. I just don't know if I should count it? I think I'm over thinking it.
That said, I love my Wii fit. I just look at it more like a game and I'm having a hard time thinking of it as a workout. Help me out. It's not like the Biggest Loser game where I feel it more, like a workout dvd. I don't know. Tell me your feelings.
I have the wii fit original, and i do count it toward my exercise time, and doing ww, will count it as activity points. If it's the aerobics, I usually count it as moderate exercise, if it's the balance/ strength, as light exercise as far as points go. For me, it's movement and I'm not on the couch, so that's a positive.
A question for those with the wii fit plus, did you have the regular first, and is it much better than the regular wii fit? Am I understanding that it monitors your pulse rate? Thanks.
QOTD: I treat myself every day with something that I totally love, but in a small portion! Do you treat yourself, especially if you've been extra good during the day, with something you totally love? What is your treat?
Welcome Coach tracey!!! I thought of you this morning as I hit the snooze alarm, but you stuck in my brain and I did get up and do 30 min on the wii fit. I was planning on 60, but I'll do the other 30 tonight.
I definitely treat myself too much.
Guess that's why I'm here. When I'm totally on, I'll usually have a ww ice cream bar in the evening as a treat. I also like the ff french vanilla creamer in my coffee every morning. I had gone to skim milk and splenda, but enjoy the creamer more, and find it worth the points.
Yesterdays' qotd- I learned this week, that I need to be more conscious of my vegie intake. I looked through my tracker, and only had 2 vegies on 3 days this week. I thougth it had been more, but I had more fruit every day. I also learned that I really love my dis time in the mornings, and am so happy to have my computer back, and it hasn't frozen up once!! I figured I'd read the past 5 pages and then post, but it looks like I'll be able to read further. Yay!!
I am down .6 this week, and like I said, looking back on my tracker for the week, am happy. I was over points a bit, and some of my food choices weren't the best, so am happy with a loss. Plus a loss is a loss and deserves to be celebrated.
Thanks to Lisa for coaching last week, dona for the cow and Shannon for being our weight keeper.
Good luck to everyone on your weighins. Dont give up if you don't see a number you want to see. Patience and persistence is needed in this journey.
Have a great day everyone!!!
, princessbride6205, mom guilt is the pits. Could you do your workout before you got home from work? Or leave after she has been put to bed? I know the whole morning exercise thing doesn't work for you -- what about at your lunch hour? Or adding some extra activity in your day so you can work out less? It is going to take some time to figure out what will work for you but don't worry -- you will.
I will have some kind of treat during the weekend. Not really sure what I'm craving. I love chips but have no control with portion size so I just stay away from them. We're going skiing tomorrow night so maybe I'll get hot chocolate in the lodge. I'm sure it's not the low cal kind.
