Wii Fit

It's been awhile, but I haven't really had much to post. I lost another 6lb. in the last 2 weeks, bringing my total up to 18lb.? I think. So, feeling alright about that however still not seeing the results in my clothes that I would like. Not sure what's up there, if I'm loosing the weight, where's it coming from? Anyway, my newest fitness venture is the Wii Fit that we got hooked up Saturday night. It's pretty fun and I've discovered that I have really bad balance. I was also kinda depressed when I took my first "body test" it said that my "Wii Fit" age was 39 and when it weighed my my "Mii" got fatter. :( Mike says it's motivation. Today was the first day that I actually did it as my workout and it was fun, the time flew by. I like have the variance to my workout like hula hooping for 8 minutes and then step aerobics for another 8 or so and then I go for a 3 minute run. That's about all the run I've ever been able to get enthused about. The thing I don't like is the time it takes to get from activity to activity. It gives me too much resting time I think. As I "unlock" the higher level of intensity of the exercises that should help some. But it look me over an hour to clock 45 minutes of exercise. That's not quite right. However, like I said, I didn't notice the time passing.
Another recent happening was the surviving of the Iowa State Fair. We went on Friday. Typically people think of the state fair as a place to consume astronomical amounts of calories usually all on a stick and fried. So I had to come up with a battle plan. I ate a satisfying but lean breakfast and then packed ham and cheese wraps for lunch. It worked well to satisfy my hunger and then all the junk didn't tease me as much. It also helped that it was really hot and everything is so expensive so I wasn't as tempted either. However, I didn't say no to any indulgences, in fact I planned on a few and just the fact that I knew I could have them helped me to not want them as much. I ended the day (including the out to supper) only about 400 calories over my goal. When you add in the fact that I walked around the fair grounds for about 5 hours with a 25lb. child on my back, I think I actually came in way below the goal. So it was a good day. No feeling deprived and no feeling guilty.
