Yes, I'm a slacker!

I've been slacking on posting. I've had a really sore back and tummy bug for almost a week. Today is the first day that I've felt great. Barely any back ache and the tummy bug is completely gone.

So today I've gotten back on the weight loss wagon. I set out to just do do minutes at medium intensity but I ended up doing 1 medium intensity and 1 high intensity workout and then did 40 minutes of aerobics for a total of 90 minutes. I'm quite surprised at myself. I burned roughly 730 calories in that time.

I love working out. I don't really like the sweat though. I have a tendency to give up after a week though. I just get lazy. I'm trying to do a 30 day challenge. I really want to complete it.

I don't know if any of my readers use game systems to workout or not, but I think it's a great way to workout at home. I have a toddler that doesn't do well in the gyms daycare so I like to workout at home. I have a few workout DVD's but only really use 1 of them. It's called Pure Strength by Bob Harper. I do the beginners workout that is just 20-30 minutes. It's a great way to get some strength training in at home.

Getting back to the game system workouts, I like Wii Fit Plus as a way to add to my routines. It's great. I've had success on just doing Wii Fit before. The first time I tried to lose weight I lost 20lbs just doing Wii Fit. Now I'm using EA Active on the Wii and I'm inlove with it. It has amazing workouts. The kinds I would do with my trainer. It's great!

I'm going to be very honest with everyone and myself, I've gone back up to 250lbs. That is 5lbs heavier than I was 2 months ago. I'm ashamed of the 5lb gain but I'm proud that I'm trying again. I'm just going to take it one day at a time.
