Yeah so I decided to jump back on the balance board and try my weight at the time I have been weighing in for the last three days. I am down a bit but not what it showed this morning. I am officially down 1.3 pounds in four days. Not bad. I'm sticking with 1-2 lbs a week.
Now I have been researching Jillian Michael's Fitness Ultimatum 2009 for the Wii. I bought it tonight. I am pleasantly surprised at the amount I did sweat while doing a workout with this game. I am looking forward to supplementing Wii Fit with this game for a nice cardiovascular burn. It also has fitness tips for traveling and food tips too. And you can do multi-player!
My favorite so far is the kayaking and the monkey bars.
I'm still trying to figure out the grenade throwing, cannon loading, and boxing.
I did a total of 130 minutes of work out today. I'm sore...now to drink some more water and relax with a book.
On a side note...I love Jillian! She could come kick my butt any day!

Wii Fit Day 4
So it's going well. Forth day in and I have done 30 minutes each day. I started figuring out what type of games I did the day before and swapping to the other two. Wii Fit has four types of games:
Yoga, Strength Training, Aerobic, and Balance games.
I do the Yoga and Strength training one day and the Aerobic and Balance games the second day. Four days in and I am still seeing small amounts of weight drop off. I did weigh myself earlier than I normally do so I am skeptical at my weight from today. But I'm going to weigh tonight to see. currently I am 3 lbs into my 10 pound goal...if that's accurate from this morning's weigh in.
So I also walked to work yesterday morning and today My brother and I took an hour long walk. Down to the gas station for a diet soda and a block further to my job to pick up my BONUS Check!!!!
I'm so excited. Not only did I get this check but I also got a surprise deposit from my old job back in Minnesota (after a full year). Turns out the deposit was a payout on left over vacation time I had accrued. So I'm feeling really good. I'm taking the vitamins my doctor suggested and I think they are helping.
We'll see when my monthly migraine is scheduled to show up.
Tonight my husband, brother and I are going to Facing East - a Taiwanese restaurant that is located near the art studio I taught at. mmm Fruit tea coming at me!

The new year...
So from Thanksgiving to January 15th...hmmm not so good on the blogwriting. Well I'm putting it in writing here hoping that will help me stay motivated. I decided to pull out WiiFit last night...Cringed when the little scale told me it had been 157 days since my last weigh in/workout. Found I am again within 2 lbs of my heaviest ever...
So..I did a thirty minute workout yesterday...and did another tonight. I'm down 0.7 lbs today...if I can keep going that would awesome.
Health kick spurred on by doctor visit and discussion of migraines. Dr K. BA (haha Dan do you get the joke?) said if I lost weight it might help but taking vitamins and changing some medication I am taking might also help. The new meds do have side effects the heavier you are...so lets get some chub off!
My goal for the next two months is to lose 10 lbs. and I will readjust depending on how I am at in two weeks when it lets me adjust the goals on the machine. I am feeling good. Day two of vitamins and even though I am taking more than I ever thought I would be at age 27 - I am feeling effects of them already.
Well now..off to bed, then up for one more day of the work week for me! Today I did a majority of yoga and strength training. Tomorrow I will try to focus on aerobic and balance games to balance out.
