Fitness Friday

Fitness Friday WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!

March 6, 2009 By Momstart 4 Comments

I’m so sorry ladies I have bad news to report.

I am not fit I have failed for two weeks in a row. I think I put on a little, All I want to eat is junk, and I’m hungry all the time and if I’m not eating I’m nauseous. Yes it sounds like I’m pregnant, but I’m NOT, can’t be, I had to go back on a medicine for my arthritis and it’s making my pain better but the side effects are making me eat or feel terrible. At least I can move and get out of bed every day.

Sorry, I wish I had better things to report. I think the wii fit moms are giving away prizes.

Posting about my fitness. I went to the doctor last week and the scale was 151. I went to the doctor this week and the same scale was 150. Now, this could be due to water weight. I had lighter clothing on (except I didn’t because I had my sweater on and my phone in my pocket). So I’m taking it as I lost one pound this week.

Whenever I go over to the Wii Fit moms page it really makes me want to get a wii fit. I know my family could use some more exercise and what a fun way to get that done.

My Weekly Food/exercise journal:

Monday

We went to play date with MOMS Club so my kids played while I ate. YUM, I came home and worked on Bloggers Give while they took naps.

Tuesday

We stayed home and I worked on Bloggers Give, played with my children and did very well with my diet.

Wednesday

The kids started to go down hill with a second day of staying in doors. Oh man. I gorged on some chocolate that my husband got me for Christmas. Yummy, but not good for those love handles.

Thursday

We went to the none-existent story time for MOMS Club. I was very sad that it was canceled. It was so cold and after getting everyone in the car, I had to go somewhere else so we didn’t spend another day in the house. We went to the outlet mall and I got some much needed pj’s for my son who grew a whole size practically over night. We also stopped by KB Toys and picked up a ton of stuff at their going out of business sale. My son’s birthday is in two months so I had to stock up. So I got exercise by shopping. Moms, Paul McKena Says that any movement counts as exercise. Remember that. The rest of the day was a wash because I was stressed out and my husband came home with COOKIES. So yes, guilty glutton me at all of them. I think my husband had a few, but I ate the rest.

Friday

I did some baby wearing today. I’m testing a new baby sling for a company to review. I’m not having much luck with it. I think I need a smaller size, but I’m going to watch the instructional video before I give up. I was in shock that the scale said I lost anything but I’m taking it and running with it in hopes to lose more.

Happy FF everyone. I’ve got a new giveaway to work on posting.

Meet the Wiifit Mommies:

These ladies are all V-logging their journey using the Wii Fit to get that body back.

Me, I’m doing it the old fashioned way. Well, I mean non digitally. I am still having a very hard time with the fitness during the week. I haven’t gained or lost any weight I’m just treading water. I’m having some really bad back pain so that is my excuse for this week but I still wanted to post and cheer everyone else on through their exercise.

Monday: I think I went to Rite Aid again

Tuesday: I went to the bank and REI so my exercises was walking around with my son in the Baby Bjorn that he hardly fits into anymore. Two more lbs and he can’t be put in it. I wonder why my back hurts. hmmm.

Wednesday: Lazy day at home. Yes, I was lazy. I put on the movies and laid around.

Thursday: Oh was that today? Yes, I did the stairs when i went to the doctor.

Friday: I plan on doing housework while my husband takes my daughter to the doctor.

I still want to drink more water and less coffee. I am a world class water drinker as it is but if I could give up coffee I know it would be even better for me. I just don’t think that people can survive in the state of Washington without drinking coffee. There is no sun for months at a time just rain so all I want to do is crawl back into bed. I have children so I can’t do that anymore but before I had kids and before I got a job after college when i was a lazy housewife I would sleep all day.

Looking back I was probably depressed. I just didn’t realize it. I have a sun light now and I should use it. It is supposed to make it easier for me to get out of bed. I just don’t.

Oh and I am still eating cookies a whole pre-packaged separate and bake and eat at a time. Oh yes, I love chocolate chip cookies. I would have eaten more if there had been any in the house today. They were all gone. So I had a bowl of Cinnamon Toast crunch instead. Man, exercise and not eating junk seems to be impossible right now. I’m hoping that my mood gets better after I go to the doctor tomorrow. I really want my back to stop hurting.

I can’t think of any other goals. I don’t have a sugar addiction and I don’t drink soda. I do have a huge love of chocolate and coke but I don’t have any coke around. Chocolate, is probably hiding in every nook and cranny around the house.. I have to have it to be a good mommy.

So it is Fitness Friday, oh my goodness it’s almost Sunday. That sums up my week just about when it comes to exercising. Let’s go through the journal

Monday: I went to Rite Aid and Safeway and REI and I forgot my stroller. So, I carried two children about 50 lbs plus the diaper bag down the stairs at REI and through Rite Aid, well I got a little bit of a break because my daughter was willing to walk. Safeway I used the cart until she got a little grumpy and I carried her bit while my son rode in the cart. Then I was exhausted and I crashed at home and did nothing the rest of the day.

Tuesday: I went to the drive through window of the bank and Albertsons. We used the car cart so both of my children pretended to drive while I shopped. Thank God for car carts at grocery stores.

Wed: umm we stayed home and played. I didn’t excersice at all

Thur: more of the same

Friday: I went to REI and fought the crowd to get some shoes for everyone except dad and dad got pants and a coat. Next month I am not allowed to step foot in REI. Twice in one week Crazy. But I did get a good deal. If only losing weight was as easy as saving money. Then I went to Rite Aid to pick up prescriptions and I carried my son because it was a quick trip in and out.

My eating habits this week were terrible. I had cake twice for a nap time snack and I didn’t drink a lot of water. I didn’t even look for a Wii this week. I’m going to budget it in for my B-day in May.

I’m going to have to set some small goals for myself.

Drink water
No cake
Eat more Protein

Wish me luck

The Wii fit mommies have Fitness Friday every Friday and I’m going to try and play along. I don’t have a Wii fit yet but I’m thinking about getting one. It sounds like a lot of fun and I am loving the Wii.

My husband and I love playing games together and using the Wii is one way that we can do that. A lot of the platforms don’t have two player games but the Wii is the most kid friendly platform out there.

Lindsey from A Kindred Spirit’s Thoughts is the first forum participant to be the Featured Fitness Friday post. If you’d like to be considered as a Featured post, email Julie at Julie@CoolMomGuide.com to get on the list. I’m just working on the sidelines for now as I don’t have a Wii Fit. I did walk to the mail box and back from my house carrying my two year old. It’s a good distance, especially carrying her.

To check out more on the Wii fit Mommies click the Wii fit mommies button. They are also having a kick off party tomorrow on twitter. I’m not sure I’ll make their party but I know it’s going to be a lot of fun. Oh and I almost forgot to mention there are prizes to be won.
