Tuesday Weigh In.... Big Smiles for Ms. Mii

So I was pleased today at weigh in :) 6.8 lbs down since last week! I have not been able to exercise all week and actually today was my first day back at it. This morning I did an hour of step aerobics and some of my Biggest Loser Wii work out. I know now that I'm able to be back on my feet I can kick some booty outta this blubber in the coming few weeks. I guess Ill just have to have faith that even on that week where I cant exercise if I eat right (for the most part, I swear it was only a wee lil of my homemade ice cream :P) the weight will come off anyhow.

This week my fitness goals are going to be working on Twons Challenge, and sticking strictly to my diet. I dont count calories as much as I suppose I should, but I do pay very close attention to portion size and what a correct portion of my healthy foods is. I know what the calories are of each food so I can have sort of a  rough guesstimate of what each meal is but I am trying to stay away from obsessing about my calories. My theory on this is that eventually I wont be on a weight loss diet. I will be just living. I want to instinctively know when and how much to eat and so far its working for me. I can feel that my stomach is now smaller (on the inside I mean in its capacity to hold a lot) and instead of pushing that to the over full uff-da feeling I stop.

Happy happy girl today :)

*side note it was so cute! So i went to take my shower after I did my workout and my Wii board was still on the floor. Lil Lilly-the 11 month old- decided to work out and when I came back down (her older brother was watching her while I cleaned up) she was on the Wii board with the controller in her hand trying to get the Wii Fit to go. She was soooooo cute! I guess what it is our lil ones see us do, really is what they are going to end up doing for the most part even in terms of fitness.*

What habits for the good have rubbed off on your friends or family since you've started your quest to become a fitter you?

Brrrrrr....

Does shivering count as exercise? It snowed about 4  1/2 inches yesterday by the time it all was said and done here in northern Minnesota. I didnt go shopping so I didnt get my shoes! So bummed about that :( We live so far away from civilization that we only make it to town 1 time a week and thats on Fridays, well needless to say because of yesterdays springtime snow storm we didnt go. I think it might be faster if I just order them off the internet as I do with so many other things.

Crazy as the weather is it was snowing to beat the band all day yesterday and its going to be almost 60* today... almost a 40* difference over night. At least I will have nice weather to resume my work outs on Monday.

Im going to up the anti in terms of my time devoted to exercise, feeling like a slacker compared to many of you who put in so much time. I am going to decide later this weekend exactly what Ill be doing this upcoming week. I have set a mini fitness goal. I want to be starting the Couch 2 5k program by July. I need to step up my weight loss and fitness level by then.

Stay warm all :) Keep on keepin on :)
