I've been behind in all my blogging as of late. Oh well; I only do this because it is fun, and also to help keep far away family and friends up to date on what is going on in our lives. They can holler if they feel a need for an update!
So what is new in my personal life? I have made the commitment to get into shape and loose this excess weight! It is going to be a long road, I know. But I feel committed to the process and hope that at least 60lbs will come off! That is a whole glob (literally and figuratively!) of weight to loose!
My friend Trish & I are cheering each other on. I am seriously thinking of joining the gym with her. That way we could meet up a few times a week and work out together. Great excuse to see each other, and better way to help a friend be healthy!
In November I enrolled in a Power Yoga class, and while it kicks my butt, it is fun-ish. But I need more than one day of working out per week. We got a Wii in Sept., and for Christmas we got the Wii Fit Plus. It is fun, and if you are creative you can get a decent cardio work out in on that. But after 3 weeks I am getting a bit bored with just that.
Bill and I also talked about investing in a treadmill. Not sure about the final outcome of that conversation, as it was very brief. But living in the land of rain and snow it would make working out easier in foul weather.
Today I did a workout I developed last fall - but did not stick to for more than 10 days! It is an interval training ... walk for 5 mins to warm up, then run stairs for one minute, walk laps (around house) till recover (usually 3-4 mins) then do stairs for another minute, walk till recover ... etc. until I have 20 mins of elevated heart beat. I can use my wonderful ipod as a stopwatch, and now I know my splits, so I can see over time how my recovery time is improving! whoo hoo!
Weight loss wise, I have actually lost 13lbs since Dec. 26th. The Wii board consistently weighs me in at 20lbs more than my bathroom scale. sucks! I'll just have to work at getting that 20 pounds off of me. And then some ............

good idea about running the stairs. I've done that in the past. When I had a real, live, trainer she made me carry 25lbs sandbags up and down the stairs! That was after I lost 25lbs, so she said "stop complaining Trish, that's just the pounds you were carrying around on your body a few months ago". Keep up the good work Kay....13lbs in a month is great!
That is awesome!!!! I'm cheering you on from Florida as well. This is one of my many goals this year as well. Although I am so like Po from Kung Fu Panda. He is an emotional eater so that doesn't help. Oh well, that is a whine so time to get moving!!!
