Day 7 of 30 Day Challenge

Today I was in a bad mood even before starting my exercises. I think I may have even cursed the Wii a few times during my workout. For some reason, when I do the bicep curls/shoulder lifts the damn remotes always have a hard time registering that I've gone up or am holding, etc. Annoying! I made it through the work out, though.

Did you work out today?

Day 6 of 30 Day Challenge

Today is a day of rest. Apparently Wii Active gives you two days on, one day of rest. I can deal with that. I'm going to make sure I drink my bottle of water today.

I'll see you tomorrow.

What about you, did you exercise?

Day 5 of 30 Day Challenge

I just finished day 5. The Wii Active told me it was going to be a bit more intense than the previous day and it was. I really like how the Wii Active gives you new exercises to do each day. It's not the same boring stretches or exercises. Today's workout was about thirty minutes long. I'm tired. I'm sore. Goal acheived, right? I need to finish my bottle of water and hop in the shower.

Did you exercise today?

Day 4 of 30 Day Challenge

I just wrapped up my fourth of thirty days of workouts. Oy. I started my workout even with a splitting headache. Not always a good idea, but I pushed forward. The workouts suck, in a good way. I'm a sweaty pig girl when I'm finished. The only thing I don't like about the Wii Active workouts are the band exercises. My hands always stink from the latex/rubber strap.

Speaking of stink, I need to go take a shower now. (After I finish this bottle of water, yuck!) See you again tomorrow!

How are you doing with your exercising goals?

Day 3 of 30 Day Challenge

According to Wii Active, today is a day of rest. I can't complain about the machine. I shall obey thy command. Ha.

I will be sure to drink at least one 20 oz bottle of water today, though. I promise!

See you tomorrow!

Day 2 of 30 Day Challenge

Today I worked out for 30 minutes. I completed all 15 of the tasks. My body was really aching last night and today. I can tell I haven't done this much exercise in awhile. I was able to do my exercises with a bit more ease today. I wasn't dripping with sweat, but I was hot and moist. Oy. No pain (or sweat!), no gain, right? I think in this case, the saying should be no pain, no loss! Ha.

I'm on my first 20 oz of water today. My goal is to drink at least one bottle a day for the first week. (I have a bad 2 liter-a-day coke addiction. Plain water makes me gag. One small step at a time, folks!)

Have you done your work out today?

Day 1 of 30 Day Challenge

I know, I know. I kind of fell off the exercise wagon. Truth be told, I just wasn't losing weight fast enough to keep my motivation going. Plus, it's hard keeping two blogs updated near daily. Last week while my SO and I were at the game store I saw a sign for the new Wii fitness game. We paid for the reservation and I waited patiently for it to come out today.

I bought the new Wii fitness game, Active hoping it would spark my motivation a bit to get some exercise going around this joint. I decided to start off with the 30 day challenge. Today was nearly 40 minutes long. There were 18 different steps to do which included, walking, running, stretches, kick backs, boxing, etc.

I could tell I haven't worked out in 112 days awhile. Running is not my favorite thing to do outside, much less inside. The kick backs were fucking annoying. I think I was doing them right, but the way the strap is placed on your leg it was like the controller wasn't registering how fast I was doing it. It wore me out. I almost stopped half way through because I thought I couldn't take it any more. It was a really good physical work out that made me sweat.

Tomorrow I will get off my ass to do it again. My goal is to continue through at least the next 30 days before giving up. I really need to lose some weight. It's just hard without seeing results immediately. I know I didn't gain this weight over night, so I can't expect to lose it that fast either. Here's too a little bit of motivation and a lot of weight gone.

What about you? What have you done today?

Day 11: 40 Mins

I did a lot of yoga and strength training stretches today. I also did an advance step and super hula hoop session. My focus today was mainly on strength training.

Day 10: None

Today was a busy day. I didn't have time to work out. Oops!

Day 9: 30 Mins

I did yoga and strength training stretches before really working out today. I did several sessions of advance step and a 10 minute boxing session. I am a little unmotivated today, hopefully tomorrow will be better.

I am down 1lb 3oz from last week. Slowly but surely.

Day 8: 1 Hr

I started off with my yoga and strength, as always. I did a 10 minute session of boxing, several advanced step sessions, and a few balance exercises.

I'm having a hard time getting more than one cup of water in a day. Although one cup is a huge step compared to my typical 2-liter-a-day soda with no water-at-all day, I am trying harder to at least do two, three, or four cups of water.

Day 7: 45 Minutes

I started out with my yoga and strength stretches. I did several sets of advanced step. I also did a 10 minute boxing session.

I didn't start working out until late, so I was getting mad when the machine would not "feel" me punch or step. I knew I needed to go to bed before I threw the Wii out the window.

I am going to do my weigh ins on Thursdays instead of Wednesdays, so only a few more days. My stomach does feel a bit toner, already. I hope I have lost some weight.

Day 6: 1Hr 11 Mins

I have to be honest, today was rough. After the first 25 minutes, I stopped. I had a really lack of motivation today. Stretch after stretch. Bend after bend. Step after step. No.Motivation.What.So.Ever.

But, I had a little talk with Mr. Will Power and told him, just because he was going to be a lazy ass today, I couldn't let it get me down. After a few hours, I decided I wasn't going to bed without a bit of boxing and stepping.

Now, if you will excuse me, I need to finish my glass of water and take a shower. I need a good night's sleep.

Day 5: 52 Minutes

I'm feeling a bit better than yesterday, thankfully. No pain, no gain. Right?

I did some yoga and strength training poses. A few balance games and 30 minutes on free step where I did over 3800 steps. Go me!

Day 4: 38 Minutes

I am really feeling the nearly 2 hour work-out from yesterday. I did some yoga stretches since my sides are sore. I also did a 30 minute free step, which I did over 3300 steps. Go me!

Day 3: 1 hr 56 mins

I had ice cream for dessert last night, so I had to work out a bit longer today.

I opened up the advance on stepping, hula hoops, tight rope walking, and strength training. I also did some running, skiing, and yoga.

I'm even drinking water. If you knew me, you'd know that in itself is a huge feat.

Edited To Add: I couldn't sleep, so I decided to exercise some more. I did an additional 66 minutes.

Day 2: 30 Minutes

I did thirty minutes on the Wii today.

Stepping, Hula Hoops, Skiing, Yoga, and Strength Training.

So far, so good.
