Linda's Wii Fit Experiment

Good morning guys! I didnt eat exactly what i said yesterday. I found I had some chicken wings in the freezer so I had those for dinner instead of the lean pocket.

I got up and did wii fit this morning. Started with Island Run, 10 mins, then I did the Super Hula hoop , 10 mins. Then it was Boxing, 4 times. Well 3 1/2 times. The nunchuck messed up in the middle of one session and I had to mess with it for a bit. Then I did the free step, 10 mins. Anyway, I ended up with 49 mins, all aerobic.

I have to go to work today, so I wont have a chase to do any more.

Food for today( in theory).
B- eggs
S- fudgesicle
L- hard boiled egg and cottage cheese
D- wings
S- pudding

One small story real quick. I am totally irritated with my mom. My son, who's 17 has been in Kansas City for several days. He leant my mom his car while he was gone because hers was in the shop. He is flying in today. Today is the big UK-UL basketball game. We have tickets, they are my moms but I pay for half every year so that Kevin can go with her to the games. His flight arrives at 3:40. The game is at 4:30. The airport is literally across the expressway fron the arena. You take short bridge acroos to it. I asked her to pick him up and then go to the game. She said there would be too much traffic and they would miss the first half. I argued that I didnt see how they would, maybe a minute or two. Anyway, she agreed to do it.

Late last night he called me. My mom had called him and told him that he needed to take a cab to the game instead. She didnt call and ask me. She just called him. Granted, it will probably be ok. He is only 17 though and has never taken a cab. He will have to take his luggage, find his car in a huge parking lot, and put his luggage in it. Then go to willcall, where she is leaving his ticket. Just because she is afraid there will be traffic. I am disgusted. I really dont like the idea of him flying in and no one being there to greet him when he gets off the plane. But hey, as long as its easier for her. Whatever.

I had a day shift today so I got home around 7. I was pretty tired, but I did do my workout, so I'm proud of myself for that.

Today I did Free Run, for 10 mins, Super Hula hoop, 10 mins, Boxing 2 times, and Free Step, 20 mins. I ended up with 49 mins total today, all aerobic again. I think that is what I have to concentrate on on work days.

Food today
B-hard boiled egg
S-cottage cheese
L- lean pocket
S- pudding
D- tomato soup
S- rice chex cereal
S- atkins shake

I think thats only around 1000 calories. I really haven't been eating that much which makes me think I should be losing some weight, but I showed a gain again today! It's not official until friday though. We'll se what it says then.

Way to stick with it! :thumbsup2 I'm impressed you are doing a long workout after a day of work. :worship: If you aren't doing your weight at the same time each day, you could be seeing variations just from time of day. I usually weigh in before exercising, and if it seems out to me, just weigh again at the end. I've seen 2 lb variations in 10min.

I managed to do 25 min on the exercise bike today which was 7km so I'm happy with that. I set the resistance down lower so I could go longer.

Hi Luv baloo. I do have to weigh myself at different times because of my work schedule. I have weird shift work and it messes me up.

Food today was
B- hard boiled egg
S- cheese stick and cottage cheese
L- lean pocket
S- pudding
D- 2 chicken patties
S- fudgesicle

I did do the stairmaster for 15 mins on tuesday night before bed. Wenesday I did nothing. I got up at 4 am, and made it through an entire day with evil supervisor, but I was wiped out by the end of the day, and I then had to do a bunch of "mom" stuff.

Today I did better. It was my day off, and I thought I was going to the movies, but didn't (thats tomorrow). I ran errands, spent money I don't have and did my wii fit.

I decided to move the treadmill in front of the tv and see if the wii running would work while I did the tread mill. I am not very good at running in place, so I usually run all over the basement in little circles, and thought this might work better. It worked fine. I did the free run, 20 mins. The treadmill made the wii think I was going faster than I was though. That little mii was truckin! :lmao:. Then I did free step for 20 mins. I did the free because you can start, then change the channel and watch tv, and the wii keeps track still. So I was watching Devil wears Prada during this part. Then I did the 10 min super hula hoop, then the boxing, 3 times. 63 mins total, all aerobic. I can't do anymore tonight because the football championship game is on and there are kids in the basement watching it.

Food today so far
B- hard boiled egg
L- 2 bowls tomato soup
S- whole wheat bagel and weight watchers cream cheese
S- 3 hershey kisses
D- not sure yet, maybe some whole wheat pasta?

anyway, I have to weigh in tomorrow. I think I will have a very slight weight loss (bases on today). Wish me luck!

Good Luck on your weigh in!! :wizard: Mine is tomorrow too, hopefully we'll both get better numbers than we are expecting!! :wizard:

Your food and exercise look consistent which is always a good thing. The Wii Fit seems like it is giving you a good workout w/ some variety. I can't wait to get mine too!

Have a great weekend!
 
good luck on your weigh in! I have one tomorrow too. I'm hoping for a 2lb loss.
 
Hi Amber and Shannon!

I went to see Bride Wars today! The critics totally panned it, but I liked it! I laughed a lot! It probably helped that I was with a friend I have known for 35 years and I was in both her weddings! Anyway, we had lunch at Buckheads. I wasn't good. But at least it was their smaller lunch portions. I had salmon fettucine alfredo. It was delish! I skipped breakfast because I knew I was going, so I am not that freaked out by it.

So my food today was
B- nothing
L- salmon fettucine alfredo
D- weight watchers smart ones pizza
S- adkins bar
S- banana

thats 560 cals without the alfredo. I havent found it yet but I will keep looking.

exercise

I did 30 mins free running on the treadmill, using the wii. Then I did 20 mins free step. then 10 mins super hula hoop, then finally boxing twice. 69 mins total.

Its weigh in day. I can't believe I actually post this!:scared1:

BMI-37.81 Weight- 213.4

So thats BMI- -.32
Weight- -1.8

loss since started BMI- -.82
Weight- -4.6

I wish it was more, but I'll take it for now.

Going to see if I can find the calorie counter I used to use.

:hippie:

daily plate has it at 380 cals. so I am still good. I did check my blood sugar after I got home from the movie, and it was 105, so it didn't hurt me too much.
 
:cheer2: :cheer2: Congratulations on your Loss!! :cheer2: I think 1.8 pounds in a week is a respectable loss. Slow and steady wins the race! :goodvibes

I think Bride Wars looks really funny! I rarely go see movies at the theater, but that might be fun to hit w/ a friend or my sister.

Have a great weekend! Even though I think you just had your "weekend" from work. Hope your workdays go well too. :wizard:
 
That's a nice healthly loss!:cool1:
Bride wars looks funny and I love both actresses, so I'll be watching it at some point, :thumbsup2
 
Gee, I haven't had time to check in for a few days. I am working and doing stuff with mt son, and I have been exercising, but not today. I have been doing the wii fit, except monday, when I did 30 mins on the stairmachine instead. I haven't had time to log my food, but it has been ok. No worries.

I watched my team win in OT over Notre Dame last night and it was awesome Go Cards! This may be their year!

Tonight was my sons Jazz concert and it was wonderful too.

Unfortunately I have to get up at 4 am so I need to get some rest.

My leg muscles are getting really strong again. 30 mins on the stairmaster was pretty easy.

Hey, Linda! Keep plugging away! :yay: You can do it! Don't get too used to not posting now!

See ya soon!
 
Well I have had a busy week. My food was good until today. I went out to lunch with a friend at panera bread. I had chicken noodle soup and a bagel. The bagel was big though, so I think it was probably 400 cals or so. We went and saw Doubt at the movies. It was good, but not great. eh. Not the kind of ending I was looking for. Save it for video. Then I had popcorn later for a snack. Way too many carbs for me.

Anyway, I have been exercising, but it has been the stair machine all week. Tomorrow I will do the wii fit and my weigh in. I don't feel good about it right now, but that may just be the popcorn!

later

Way to keep going! Is this the first time you've gone a few days without doing the Wii?
 
Good luck on the weigh in today!! pixiedust:

Don't worry too much about one bad eating day. They happen and we can get through and past them!

Have a great weekend!!
 
Hi guys! I have had a yucky day. I am feeling sick. I dont think it was the pocorn. Anyway, I didnt work out today. I will get up in the morning and do it.

I did weigh in though.
weight- 212.5 -.9 lbs
BMI- 37.6 -.21

Since starting
weight -5.5 lbs
BMI -1.08

As long as it keeps going down I will be okay. I really didn't get as much done this week as I wanted, even though the diet was pretty good. 3 weeks 5.5 lbs is okay.

Today I was running around doing errands all day. Yesterday too. I wasn't that successful either. My sister is in Abu Dhabi and she emailed me with a wish list of stuff they don't have there. Basic stuff. Miracle Whip. Secret unscented. That kind of thing. Well she wanted long sleeve shirts, those mock turtleneck kind they have at Kohls. She didnt think she would need them there but it gets chilly at night. Well, even though it was exactly zero degrees here today, all the stores have put away the winter stuff already. This makes me crazy. And those kind of shirts you can wear almost all year here, they are lightweight! Anyway, I finally found exactly 2 in the right size and they are this ugly turquois color. I hope she doesnt mind. That made me tired, and I think I am also catching something. I don't have time to get sick now, so I have to shake it off!

BTW, my son , who was failing trig, brought his grade up to a B. I am very proud of him, he really toughed it out.

nite

:hippie:
 
Hope you feel better :goodvibes
That's great that your son's hard work paid off with his trig grade. :thumbsup2

Your right on target for a healthy maintainable weight loss. After 2 weeks, I'm down 3.2. I aiming to lose 2lbs a week, so I'm a little behind right now, but next week will be better.
 
Hey, Linda! Hope you're feeling better!!

Just had to come over and say, YAY!!!! Mr. President Obama!!!! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: Did you get to watch the Inauguration or at least DVR it?

Keep moving and eating right and that weight will keep coming off and hopefully start coming off a little faster too. :thumbsup2 :goodvibes

Have a great week!!!
 
Its been a few days, so hopefully you are just busy. If you are still sick, hopefully you'll be feeling better soon. :goodvibes
 
Hey, Linda!! How've you been? Haven't heard from you in a Long time! Check in and let us know how you're doing!! :goodvibes

Then come over to my journal... cause I've got some news to share :thumbsup2
