Toxic Tuesday

Not really sure what to title this post, but Toxic Tuesday sounds pretty good at the moment.

Got up this morning and made French Toast for the kids, and I did well not to eat the leftovers!

Wii Fit: Did 15 minutes of Yoga, then some Rythm boxing, Hula Hoop and a long bike. Totaled 45 minutes so far today.

Want to get back on later today, need to break it up because of the kids in the house and trying to control them, but at least I am working on it.

Now, on to more "Boxing Day"....we are cleaning out closets and drawers and getting rid of old stuff to make room for the new...

Wii Fit Plus

Brad's Christmas present to me this year was the Wii Fit Plus Balance Board. I had been wanting it, and also the Biggest Loser program, but at least I got the board.

I was sick all night Christmas Eve, so I wasn't up to using it on Christmas Day, but Brad and the kids all registered and played and had a blast.

Saturday was my first day on it and I did just over an hour.
Sunday I did 40 minutes.

This morning I got up before the kids and did 45 minutes, 5 miles on the bike ride, some hula hoop and some yoga (which is harder than you might think it looks to be). I hope to get another 45 minutes later today, but the kids got up and breakfast needed to be made.

As always, another new start for me, but I keep going, I keep trying. I never seem to get anywhere, but I keep at it.

Tuesday Morning

Good morning, and welcome to Tuesday.

So I went ahead and got up early, while the kids were still in bed (and are still in bed, although that routine is going to have to change with the approaching start of school!), and did 15 minutes on my Gazelle. Yes, I know that is not alot, but I am just starting out, and so my plan is to start a couple days at 15 minutes, then increase the time and stay there a couple day, then increase and so on. At least I have 15 minutes of exercise in already this morning, and I am hoping to do another 15 before bed tonight.

I am eating my breakfast, a cup of Yoplait Lowfat yogurt, Pina Colada flavor, only 170 calories. It's not my favorite flavor, but I do like it, and it is a pretty good breakfast. I am all out of flax seed, or I would add that to it. It adds alot of fiber and helps it to last until lunch on the tummy. In other words I don't get as hungry as quickly if I add the flax seed. Will have to remember to get more while I am out today.

Not sure when I will weigh in, but I need to do that soon. Need to get a new starting point, and to know were I am going, but I have just been avoiding that. I know you all can relate!

Just another start?

How long has it been since I posted here?

Well, in my own defense, I switched jobs and that took me away from the computer, and I did do better at this journey then, but I have found time to be back at the computer, but not to the blog. So again, I will begin.

Searched Craigslist for weeks, and finally found a Tony Little Gazelle machine. Had been wanting one for years since I saw them on tv and saw Tony Little demostrating them. So I found one, and bought it, but it is not like the one I remember from tv, but I am going to use it! Espically since I bought it! And I have got to get my money's worth out of it or I am going to be in so much trouble with hubby!

To that end, I am going to begin blogging on my journey again, to keep me accountable to what I am doing.
