weight loss round up
Although I prefer to round down when I weigh myself!
I know there are some of you that hate the weight loss posts, but there are others who love them and have privately told me they are motivated them to get healthy too after reading them. So motivating wins! If you don’t want to read about losing weight, you can re-read a random older post instead. :) xo
So to catch you up to date, I have now lost (since Jan. 1) dun dun dun: 15 pounds! (3 just this week - I hit a wall last week but now I’m catching up!)
Can I get a woohoo?!! WOOO-freaking-HOOOO!!
I’m still loving the Wii Fit - especially the 6 minute hula-hoop and the rhythm boxing. Those are the ones that get my heart rate up the most and give me jello legs - always a good sign!
In the evenings while I watch tv I bounce around on my mini-trampoline - it’s fun and it doesn’t feel like I’m exercising - until I step off! Bonus - it’s quiet so I don’t wake up the boy.
I’m still counting calories and writing everything down. I’m sticking to ~1200 a day, and one day a week or so I let myself go to ~1500. I’m averaging about 2 lbs a week so it seems to be working.
It seems like everyone in blog land is exercising lately, especially the shredheads. (They’re doing the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.) If you haven’t heard of them and you’re looking for motivation I highly recommend checking it out. I’m not going to be a shredhead myself - I don’t have the video and don’t plan on buying it but I am loving reading everyone’s posts. It makes me feel like I’m not so alone in all of this.
A couple of other blogs/sites I love are Loser Moms, Two Thirty Two, (please post again soon Y!) and Bodies in Motivation, I can especially relate to AndreAnna’s posts there. I love that they are real and honest about their struggles. You should check out Mommy Runner who is a good friend of mine and who has re-focused her blog to be more running oriented. Also, A Mommy Story is planning a Hot by BlogHer site for those of us motivated to look good by the July conference! That would be me!!
Do you have any weight loss/fitness blogs you like? Give me links please!
One last thing. On Saturday I’ll be posting a photo of my chubby little Wii Fit Mii. ~ahem~ Who’s with me??? If you want I’ll do a linky love post of anyone else who does it too.

My legs! They hurt! :)
Amy @ Taste Like Crazys last blog post..Latenight Shedding and No More Drug Dealers
Thanks for the link! Check back in a few days, I have something coming up over there that’s sure to motivate everyone!
AndreAnnas last blog post..Streak Broken
I’m so not motivated, but I need to be.
I’ll post a picture of my Mii. I was so insulted when I first saw it. How degrading!
My husband just bought a recumbant exercise bike. I wonder if there is a way to blog (or do something else worthwhile) while riding it.
15 pounds is awesome! You are doing great.
I haven’t tried the boxing. Is that a separate game? And what I wish more than anything is that you could do a series of yoga poses instead of having to return to the menu after each one.
Leighann of Soy is the New Blacks last blog post..The NFL is Not for the Faint of Heart
Dude, thanks for the link. I think I had my post up for all of 30 seconds! LOL
I hope it goes well.
Amy - no doubt!
AndreAnna - I can’t wait to see it!
Leighann - Yay! The rythym boxing is in the aerobics section and it will unlock when you have enough fit points. There is boxing on Wii Play too.
Sam - I know! I saw you tweet it right after I posted so I went back and added it!
Ok, I finally got to calm the kids and actually read your post. So sad, I know.
The hula hoop is quickly becoming one of my faves! Soooo fun!
The mini trampoline is a great idea and time goes much faster too.
I’ll too post a pic of my chubby Mii if I can get a good one… xox
Great job on the weight loss & consistency - Keep it up!!
Woohoo! That is awesome! Congratulations! I love the hula hoop and the rhythmic boxing,too. Cheeks thinks it’s hilarious when my Mii gets bonked in the head by the flying hula hoops that her Mii throws. Little sadist. :)
I LOVE the weight loss posts! I may be a junkie ;-)
WOW - 15 puns! That is so amazing. Seriously , you rock.
not puns - POUNDS
holy heck…
Kimberlys last blog post..The Greatest (and not the Scariest) Show on Earth
Wait - where’d your Mii go? It was there in reader…
Your Mii looks like my Mii - except mine is blonde with glasses…
magpies last blog post..Grace #6 = Tea and Cubans
Congrats on the weight loss! That’s absolutely fantastic.
My favorite workouts via DVDs are generally Taebo and P90x, but when I was starting and 50+ overweight, I got into Richard Simmons ‘Sweatin’ to the Oldies’. Oooo that was fun indeed - ’twas the first time my overweight body danced in decades!
Congratulations! 15 pounds is a huge deal. You are going to be totally hot by BlogHer, and that makes me want to be hot by BlogHer too. (I’m definitely in the motivated by you category.)
Stimeys last blog post..I Like Napping. And Vicodin.
I saw your Mii in my Reader but when I came over to link to you, the post was gone (maybe the Wii Fit ate it???) Anyway, here’s my picture of my chunky Mii …
