Goals

Wow! 2 blogs in one day! haha:)

Well I just had to get on here to tell you how my first "workout" went with the Wii...AMAZING! I did 30 minutes of excercise and 7 minutes of a cool down. I managed to burn 147 calories (not too much but its something!) I also did a one mile jog, which amazed me...my calves are killing me (but I keep telling myself "if I can slim down the calves a bit, I will buy a pair of dress boots that FIT over my calves! YES!")

While I was on the board, I realized that I have some goals to work on...
#1. By the end of December I want to be able to touch my toes when stretching! I can do it if i bend my knees but that doesn't really count:)
#2. Drink MORE water.
#3. Get rid of the negative vocabulary; I will lose this weight, I will stay positive and focused.
#4. Be able to do the Jack Knifes properly (laying on back and reaching your hands and feet together) This excercise just about killed me...*need to invest in a proper mat*
#5. AND this is my long term goal, but I would just like to remind myself....LOSE 75 lbs by the end of June! My reward for hitting my goal will be a trip to Vegas in August!!

Here we go!!!

A Failed Gym Attempt

I went to a gym for women yesterday called Figures. I tested out the equipment and loved it. I came home to talk it over with my hubby (who is totally supporting me) only to realize that at this point in my life, we are not financially able to pay for a gym membership. There is a start up fee of $45 which is 75% off the regular price and then it is $45 per month for a 2 year membership.  I guess I don't really understand why gym fees and memberships cost as much as they do, but I guess they have to pay for the building, equipment and staff somehow. I just wish it was a bit easier financially.

SO...Chris (hubby) said to start using our Wii Fit. Well, I guess because we already have it and it's just collecting dust in the gaming cupboard, I have decided to give it a try:)

Tonight, I will begin my "workout" on the Wii Fit! and maybe throw in dancing just to get my heart pumping:) My younger kids got a kick out of seeing me dancing this morning in the livingroom! I can get them all dancing, make a family thing out of it! haha:)

Until next time,
~Cheers~
