This has been a long journey for me and I have backtracked. I was making progress and I got lazy. The Spring has brought some very crazy weather with lots of rain, hail and the longest snow season I have ever seen in the state of Washington. My kids were sick every other week and that kept me inside. But you ask, don’t you have a Wii Fit. Yes I do, it has been a coloring table for my babies. 
and a dust board. I’m sure that if I got it out every morning I would do better. I even have some really fun dancing DVD to exercise too, but I have been too lazy to find them and put them in the DVD player.There is also the blog, it keeps me on my butt and writing too much. My posts were every week for the first six weeks. Then I just stated to do one once a month, more if I felt extra motivated to write about my non-successful week.
That is all over now.
Excuses be gone!!
With Spring almost gone and Summer about here, I’m ready to be outdoors. I have had an excellent week and am going to try extremely hard to be positive about my weight loss. I’m going to share my weight with everyone so that you can see my progress. Hopefully that will keep me honest and accountable.
I am at 152 and my goal is to get down to 135. I don’t have a time frame I just want to be healthy. I’m slightly overweight for my height and body type. But I’m ready to get it in gear. This past week,
Monday – My kids and I walked to the Mailbox and back
Tuesday – we went to a puppet show and then to have a healthy lunch at subway (no fast food)
Wednesday – We walked.
Thursday – we ran and played at the park
Friday – We are going to a play group so there will be lots of running around
This isn’t just about me, it’s about getting my entire family back into shape. Yes my babies are only babies but teaching them healthy habits now is very important.
My Goals for Next week –
My family is going to be in town so we’re going to the zoo and the park as often as the sun is out. I know we will stay very active. Remember that the forum is there for you whenever you need a pick me up. Julie is so AWESOME!!!
I think this winter took a toll on a lot of us, myself included. You said it perfectly, “This isn’t just about me, it’s about getting my entire family back into shape. Yes my babies are only babies but teaching them healthy habits now is very important.” We have to get in shape for not only our own health, but for the ones we love. The Wii Mommies just want to be the support network to help keep everyone on track. Thanks so much for such an inspiring post!
I swear this crazy spring is partly to blame for the lack of motivation…it cant decide what it wants to do outside.
I have slacked the last month…still hanging in there…but am trying to get that positive motivated attitude back…hoping more people like you will join in the fitness friday and the forum to keep us all going!
I see you must have done the noticer review…what a great book! I loved it…definitly gets you in a new perspective!
Thanks for sharing your honest struggle. Its always good to know we all have similar issues no matter what our size or situation.
Take it one step at a time!
Great post! I’m also just getting back on that wagon and need to get my kids playing outside more and watching TV less. It will keep us all healthier (it’s just hard to do with all the rain and heat here in Houston…but that’s an excuse too!) Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing your progress.
Great job getting back on the wagon! I am right with you, it seems! We are going to get through this thing and achieve our goals!
