One of the coolest gifts I got for Christmas was a Wii game console, and the Wii Fit “game”! Now, I would beg to differ that the Wii Fit is a game, as it would seem more “work”, or exercise routines, and such. After over a week of using it, however, I have to admit I am having a whole lot more fun with it than I would have thought.
I had seen some of the “games” demonstrated at one of our malls, and thought they were “kid stuff”! Boy! Was I in for a surprise! After the third day of my new regime, I found myself looking forward to working out with my Wii Fit! I found myself anxious to (1) learn the exercise, and (2) work at improving my scores and standings. I could say I was finding my competitive spirit once again! That and determination to win at these “games”.
Funny thing is, I am exercising while playing these Wii Fit and Wii Sports games! I’ve lost a few pounds just from the work-outs, and have noticed that my energy level is up on those days I work out, compared to the days I miss working out. I’m very encouraged to keep at these exercises, and have even thought I might work towards getting back to playing tennis on a real court again, sometime soon!
At the beginning of November, I started a very strict diet, under doctor’s supervision. I have stuck to the plan very diligently, and had a good amount of success with it, to date. I have been on a monitored “maintenance” level of this diet, over the holidays, and this is the first holiday season that I can remember that I actually lost weight! Whoo hoo!! Since starting this diet, I have lost 30 pounds, and now finally feel getting into an exercise routine to help keep up my metabolism, energy level, and motivation!
I will go back to the “strict diet” routine in mid-January, but for now, I’m doing well on the “maintenance”, and teaching myself a better way to eat and exercise, and feeling really good with ME! I’ll share more of my progress as I get back to it. (Oh! and I can’t wait to go shopping when I have reached my goal!! A whole new wardrobe will be necessary, to be sure!)
