Wii Fit Wednesday

Here are the numbers:
Weight - 165.8
BMI - 32.55

I'm actually quite pleased with myself. I only gained .2 pounds, which is quite amazing considering that we had 2 Thanksgiving dinners and I made too many pies so I've been eating leftover pumpkin pie for breakfast every morning. I did make a brothy rice soup using the turkey carcass, so maybe eating that for lunch and dinners has somehow evened out the pie factor. Ok, just one more month of yummy food to get through!

Here are the numbers:

Weight - 165.6
BMI - 32.51

Yikes! From 2 weeks ago, I actually went up a little bit in weight! I blame it on the early holiday snacking I've been doing. :( Also, with the cold weather, I start to crave heavier meals like creamy soups and cheese engulfed lasagna. I'm too much a food lover to give these up, but today was a real wake up call. From now on, I really need to work on portion control, especially with Thanksgiving coming up. The holidays are always my weak spot, but if I can really get my self control together and not go overboard I think I should be ok. Also, I know that tea or a broth based soup makes you feel fuller, so I think I will start each meal with either one of those and see if it helps. :{

Ok, I missed last week due to lots of craziness that hopefully I will have time to post about later today. Here are my stats today:

BMI: 32.42
Weight: 165.1 lbs

Overall that is a loss of 2.7 lbs from the start! I'm not losing weight as quickly as I'd like to, but at least I am losing a little bit. This week has been really hard for me. Not only was Halloween a major temptation (one I didn't entirely avoid), my back also went out last week after lifting a box that was probably a little bit too heavy for me. Alot of the Wii Fit games hurt my back a little too much so I am trying to take it easy until I can get in to see a doctor. All in all, however, I am pretty happy with my progress! :)

Wii Fit Wednesday

Ok folks, here are the numbers:
BMI: 32.85
Weight: 167.3lbs - only down about half a pound! :(

I worked out 8 of the past 11 days, but only a few of those days I worked out for 30 minutes or longer. I think I would have done much better if it weren't for moving this week. We don't get our refrigerator in until today, which means this entire weekend we have been eating fast food. I'm actually suprised I didn't gain weight this week. Hopefully now that we have our refrigerator, I'll do a little better!

Wii Fit Wednesday

We got ourselves an early Christmas present yesterday and bought a Wii and Wii Fit! I'm so excited! Here's the thing, now that I have it, I don't have any more excuses for not being able to work out. This workout machine is conveniently located and add's up my daily workout time so that I can sneak in minutes whenever Michaela is napping or quietly playing. It even sets up fitness goals for me to try to attain. I've decided to post my goals and progress here (inspired by some awesome fellow bloggers here and here) so that I hold myself a little bit more accountable; I don't want to be embarrased by not making any progress!

I'm technically not dieting, because that isn't very healthy for a nursing mom. I am trying to get healthier by excercising daily, making healthier eating choices, drinking more water and eating smaller sized portions. Because my current diet is so horrible, I will probably lose some weight to boot, which is fine by me.

Current stats:
BMI -32.94
Weight - 167.8 lbs

My current goal is to ecxercise on the Wii from 30-60 minutes every day. Hopefully I will also lose 3 lbs in the process in the following 2 weeks.
Wish me luck!
