Hey Lean Meaners! I weighed myself today and I'm down 4 pounds! Yay! Ok, I'm sure a lot of that was from the cold but I'll take it anyway.
The games on the Wii Fit like soccer, boxing and hula hoop are a lot of fun! I have mixed feelings about the strength training and yoga exercises. You can only do one set before you have to go back out into the menu and select a different exercise. I wish the program would let you create a workout so you could do a group of them together. The board can also be used with other games like Raving Rabbids TV Party and Wii Ski so even if you get bored of the Wii Fit, you can still use it for other things. Oh, make sure you have enough room around your TV or can move things. I took my Wii Fit to a friend's house and it was difficult for him to do the exercises and watch the screen because of the way his living room was set up. It's also good for keeping track of your weight (if you don't like journaling - like me)
Beth - I'm about a 1 hour napper only because it takes me about 20-30 minutes to fall asleep. Unless I'm on a flight and then I try to sleep for the entire thing. WTG on the 7 miles!!
Cindy - I usually take my vitamins before I brush my teeth at night. Maybe if you try taking them before or after a meal or as soon as you wake up, it will eventually work itself into your routine?
Julie - I've said the same thing after every race this year but I keep coming back! I love the "I did it!" feeling at the end!
Debra - Hope you're feeling better soon! I do the same thing with my workouts sometimes. When it gets busy I try to squish everything in as quickly as I can or just cut corners (usually the warm up cool down). Have you ever tried the iced cup trick for treating shin splints? If you take a Dixie cup or any small paper cup, fill it partially with water, freeze it, then peel part of the cup to expose the ice - you take the ice, press it into the shin splint (yeah it hurts a little) and roll it up and down the affected area.
Chris - With so many pictures of you on the thread, I can't possibly miss you at the next meet!
Have a great night everyone!!

Hope your shin gets better as well!
LOL, have a great Aloha Friday everyone.
The sidewalks are like skating rinks around here. 
I've decided to do more yoga and maybe try my Pilates for Dummies DVD until it's safe to run again.
Beth -- I know you will believe this -- they ate 2 large pizzas, four large bags of chips/popcorn, an ice cream cake, bananas, clementines, a 1 lb. bag of licorice, drank a case of Pepsi, and that was just Friday night! Then they had two boxes of cereal, two boxes of poptarts, and that was before we got up! Then they had pancakes and bacon, and half gallons of orange juice and chocolate milk. I can't imagine what my grocery bill is going to look like in a few years...
I know this is a Nascar crowd, but who doesn't enjoy a good Superbowl commercial? We have planned so this won't be an all-out foodarama -- We have cheese lasagna for dinner, veggies and dip and popcorn for snacks, and sugar-free jello and skinny cow ice cream sandwiches for a sweet treat. DH will also make a tray of nachos, just salsa on chips with lower-fat cheese.
