you gotta love Miis
I want to say thank you to all my readers and friends who’ve been very supportive of my efforts to lose weight. You all are the best!
Would you please show a little more love by clicking over to see the Wii Fit Mii posts from these brave ladies?! (and give them some comment love!)
and of course, my own
I love the common theme of self-deprecation - I knew I liked you all for a reason!! xoxo
If anyone else does this and wants to be added to the list either leave a comment or email me, catnip35 at gmail dot com.
roly poly mii
As promised, I’m posting pics of my Wii Fit Mii today! It’s roly poly, it’s chubby, and frankly it looks just like me!
Sorry it’s grainy - it was a little harder to shoot than I hoped.
Here’s another view so you can see the belly overhang a little better - ahem.
And my favorite view which tell you exactly what I think of how my Mii, and I, look:
I think a few of you said you were brave enough do this with me, and anyone else who want to join in please do! Put up a post with your Mii either today or tomorrow, link back here, and make sure you let me know in comments what your permalink is so I can do a round up post on Monday!
Updated to add: I didn’t think anyone was going to do this with me but it looks like it’s just taking a few extra days for everyone to get their posts up. I’ll do the round up post on Wednesday instead!
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.

wii conversation
So this morning, while still snuggling in bed at my mom’s house, my boy and I were talking about our plans for the week. I mentioned my his aunt “C” and his cousin “S” might be coming to our house this next Saturday to hang out with us.
“Aunt C wants to check out the Wii Fit.” I said. “So we can show her tennis and the hula hoop, and all the fun stuff we do on it.”
“And you know what else?” he said.
“What?” I asked, assuming he was going to say that he would be able to show his cousin the Lego Star Wars game…but no.
“We’re gonna make her do yoga!”
Bwahhaaahhahhaha!!! Somebody knows how much I hate yoga, and apparently wants to torture my sister.
busy days
I’m sorry I’ve been too busy to blog! The mummies are gonna kill me. No I’m not watching horror movies or having terrible nightmares. It’s a new book and it’s kicking my a$$. Mummy pictures are not pretty, or apparently very well photographed.
The other thing keeping me busy? Well let’s just say that Wii tennis is kicking my a$$ too. Ouch.
I’ll be back soon!
okaaay, maybe one resolution
Remember yesterday when I said I wasn’t going to make any resolutions because I always break them? Well of course the resolution I always have the most trouble with is exercising more/eating better/losing weight…like pretty much everybody else in this country. (I also don’t like to admit it…like pretty much everyone else too.)
Now I might need to make that resolution after all, because I’m going to have a little help. A little motivation. Or at least a little fun. Cause I just won a Wii Fit!
I’m more than a little shocked.
I really never win anything, so I think the universe is trying to tell me something. Like it’s time to get fit perhaps?!
And now I have to go find a Wii, as cheap as I can find one!
