27 days posted and still Wii-ing!

I can't believe how addicted I've become with this thing. I even got Dan to play a few games with me on Saturday. It is telling me I've lost about 10 pounds. I'm not sure where yet but it seems as though my pants are a little looser.
I am trying to gear up for the 15th when Doug graduates. Megan has the whole trip planned so all I have to do is get to Sioux Falls and go for the ride! We should have a good time!

Wii,Wii,Wii...

I weighed in this morning for the "Biggest Loser" I'm down another 1.5 lbs. I really haven't changed anything other than the Wii Fit. I try to do it every night. So I gotta say it must be helping. Hope I'll be able to golf better this summer. League starts next Thursday so I need to be ready to keep up with the boys. Maybe when I go to Doug's graduation he'll be able to see a smaller Mom..that would be exciting! Better be sticking with it Megan, I'm gearing up for the Wii Olympics....well maybe the Senior Wii Olympics! : )

Addicted to Wii Fit!!

So, I got my Wii Fit just over two weeks ago and I LOVE doing it. I can't wait to get home to start working out. It's fun to see the new yoga poses, balance, endurance, and strength exercises I receive each day. I have to admit, I haven't done all the available exercises but I'm averaging about 45 to 60 minutes a day on the ones I do. That's a HUGE improvement over doing nothing. Maybe if I keep this up my little obese Wii Mii will change shape! I'll keep you posted.

Week five...

Weighed in this morning for the "biggest loser contest", I'm down just shy of 4 pounds. Doesn't seem like much after 5 weeks, but it's better than gaining. We have 2 weeks left so if I'm really good and watch what I eat and do the Wii Fit everyday I might just have a small chance to win! I'm in second place right now..but 5 lbs. behind. I'll be very happy to finish with some weight loss even if I don't win the contest.
Going to my Mom's this afternoon for Easter. Sister and nephews will be there also. Should make for some good conversation time!
Happy Easter everyone!
Last night I went out for drinks with my girls. Honestly, if I could have picked daughters I would have chosen these two along with my own daughter and daughter-in law. Heather and Katie help me to not miss my "real" children so much. They remind me so much of Steph. I enjoy their company so much and it makes my day to think that these two young ladies want to spend time after work with their "work mom"! Thanks girls for keeping me young. But, I'm glad we only do this once a month or so... I'm way too old to do that too often!

Wii Fit....

Well, the Wii Fit arrived Monday but I really didn't feel like getting it out then. Tuesday was a busy evening see Dakotagoat blog...
So last night we pulled it out and set it up, Hopped on and set up the Wii Mii. The little bugger was short and not just fat, but OBESE! I begin going thru the programs to find my fit age...41, not bad for a short obese Mii, okay I did the test 3 times, first one said I was 51 the next one was 68, the third was 41. I WAS NOT DOING TO START OUT AS AN OBESE, SHORT, OLD Mii!! Dan is in the kitchen watching...I know he was laughing too. But after achieving the Wii age I desired I began the fitness programs, yoga, cardio,etc. And before I knew it I had been doing "stuff" for 21 minutes! It was fun and I did get a bit of a workout! Tonight Dan says he'll give it a try too! I'll keep you posted on the progress...

Okay,who stole our spring?!

We had such a gorgeous Saturday and now we have something that resembles a winter storm. Guess that's why they say,"If you don't like the weather in South Dakota just wait a few minutes and it'll change." So Deb, you're probably going to be getting the rest of your baby goats in the next few days. If goats are anything like cattle they always think it's a good idea to have their babies when the weather is the crappiest! I was looking at the "nanny cam" and the girls were all milling around like something was brewing, so maybe there's going to be a new little one soon. Then Dan will have to get those milking hands ready to go!

Beautiful week-end and a clean garage!

The weather was so nice this past week-end. We didn't do much Saturday but we got busy Sunday and tackled a job that was long over due, the dreaded garage organizing. Dan had a storage area put in the overhead area of the garage with a drop down ladder for easier access, so we finally got going and sorted thru my things and his hunting stuff and cleaned things up. The guy who put in the ladder said to look at the things very carefully before hauling them upstairs because chances are we won't ever be bring them back down. I think he's probably right. But it sure is nice to have that task finally done! Plus I have lots more room on my side of the garage!! The only bad thing about the whole ordeal is that we had to act like extremely old people and went to bed at 8:30. Pretty sad huh?!
