I haven’t posted with the Wii Mommies Fitness Friday since about May. Did I have great fitness without them? No I did not. In fact, from June through December I put on 7 lbs. This is a huge step back for me because I can’t put my pants on. I have one pair of jeans that I can wear and I haven’t been able to wear those since my surgery. When I went in for my surgery I weighed 157. I need to weigh between 114 and 135, my goal is to be 130 before BlogHer2010.
I know deep down that this is going to take a lot of work and dedication. It’s going to take a lifestyle change. I need to drink water every day. One whole glass before every meal will help lower my appetite. I need to stop snacking at bed time, and I need to stop eating off of the kids plates after each meal.
I need to get control of my serving sizes even when it’s something I LOVE. I need to wait before I get seconds and give my stomach some time to settle before I load up on more food. I need to cute back on my sugar intake and coffee creamer. I should give up coffee but that’s an unrealistic goal so I’m going to try and just cut back.
I’m supposed to be exercising right now but it has to be very light. Mostly the only thing I’m approved for is walking so my goal for the week is to walk three times. I don’t want to set such high goals that I just give up again. Giving up is not an option. It’s not healthy to be carrying around all this extra weight so I’m going to do something about it.
So for the seven days my concentration will be on drinking water, and walking. Hope I can talk the kids into walking with me. ;-). Feel free to leave your link with any Fitness post of your own and I’m going to come by and comment. Part of my New Years Resolution is to be more supportive to other bloggers.
I have water bottles all over the house/work/car. I take one with me everywhere… I figure if I don’t drink the water in it, at least I’ll work my muscles for a bit, carrying around the water 😉 Good luck!
I too am going to try and get more water in this year. As for serving sizes, I actually use a scale, and measure out my portions. I’m surprised at either how little or how much I get based on the package serving size!
I lost the most weight when I was just walking every day with my son. And it was fun to be outside with him. You can do it!
Hey I am hopping back on Fitness Friday too .. Love support from Wii Mommies!!!! Did you catch my post today? Back on for EA Sports Active 30 day challenge and I am doing Wii Fit at night with my daughter!
I jointed the Wii Mommies group when I got my Wii Fit a week or so ago – but I still haven’t used it once – ack! I’m hoping Tuesday – that is when Hubby and son will both be out of the house and I can have some privacy.
Im really thinking about buying a wii,it looks so fun! Good luck with your fitness goals!
