Fitness Friday- Wii Fit Family

The family is all active on the Wii Fit. Daughter is on the last Quarter of Health. They have to Log all their food and exercise. Hubby is working with SparkPeople so he is exercising and logging food and I am also logging and exercising. This means the whole household is in tune, Finally! I like this because it has been a struggle to plan meals and deal with complaints about no desserts.
Did well this week lost 2 pounds. Weigh-In for me are Wednesday on this blog (see upper right- side bar).
Has anyone had a family member have a birthday while doing the Wii Fit? It was a shock when I turn on the Wii on heard " ... did you know Capt D has a birthday today,....do something special for him....". I just had to laugh the Wii reminding me. So ,when hubby came home I had him do his Wii fit. When he logged in (I wanted to see what it would do for him), there was a birthday party on the Wii..What a riot. Streamers and all. We went out to eat at The Outback. We only go once a year. We all enjoyed the Wii birthday celebration!

Fitness Friday- One Week Down.

One week down and Three to go! that is my target date to fit into my summer clothes(in the Drawers). Did well this week, No emotional eating, exercised, and logged all activities on Spark People. I am really liking this site! It is so easy to use. They make it easy to log your activities and meals. I have never seen one site so organized.
Tabs on the sites takes one to the Nutrition log site. Once there you can view a plan meal or change it. I tend to use the add button, there are so many people participating that the archives are great. I just type in the food and look through the list. Choose it add it to my Favorites and post it to today meals. I have not had to use the add your own not listed button yet, that is such a time saver. I feel like my food intake is under control now!

Want to Join SparkPeople? Use the link and sign up, List Auntie E1 as your Friend. You will be able to follow me there and I will be able to follow you.

Fitness Friday Update- Not Pretty

My update is not pretty! I was doing pretty well for a while. Then the fun times became surrounded by food. It is so hard to have to cook your the family, especially a Teenage. Oh, to be a teen again..eat all those sweets and fatty foods. I do not have a problem staying away the the fatty foods, IT'S THE SWEETS! so I am going to post this quick and move on.. all the weight I lost while doing a online health plan,I have gained back,Yuck.

The online health plan I was using changed a main part of their site and it became too frustrating to use. So,I had to quite the service (I will be posting about that later next week). I have found a new site I will be working with the next few weeks. Trying to get back on a good track. One that takes the family along with out their knowledge,hehehe. I am getting so depressed with the weight issue.

It is hard to post these Fitness Friday's when there are no responses.

Fitness Friday- Changing the Pattern

I am Changing my Daily routine (pattern).

My normal day go like this: 5:ish up- coffee-boot laptop-make School lunch- make sure daughter up- breakfast for daughter- computer(blog checks)- laundry- visit sites-make beds- get dressed- open doors- then it's noon what happened?? Oh yeah, the Laptop. Once I get on it,the hours fly by.

This is the tentative change. Now I say tentative because as you know thing are always changing, haha. Get up 5ish- get dressed- get daughter up- have coffee and protein bar or drink-( I am going to make her lunch the night before)bag the lunch-make her make breakfast- Exercise(some sort)- make beds- pick up house- set timer for blogging time (1 hour)- work out in the yard- make lunch- 1 more hour on laptop(dropping and visiting)- start dinner-- maybe 1 more hour on lap top- spend time with family( TV or Wii fun).

As you see Laundry left out. Oh yes, it is back to Wednesday Laundry day, no more daily laundry.

See that runner up on my banner. She has not been moving fast enough! I want her moving overtime...Summers Coming and I need to fit in those beautiful clothes in my drawers!

Fitness Friday- Let's get started again!!

Loosing weight and eating fit is so hard when the Support system is not there. I do not care how many times one said "I am doing it for me" or" It's for my Health, to live longer" or again " I want to see my child get married and be a grandmother". With out the support of one another and comments, encouragement , crying and laughing of people(followers) it is easy to slide back. When Your family does not have (or are not concern with) the Healthy eating issue. Then the will power go out the window. Pizza nights, Eating Out , Not wanting what is cooked or just eating the snacks, all of these throw blocks to our eagerness to get fit.
I have found this week to be hard. I have Blogged my difficulties and even some knowledgeable material. I have researched some other tools to use. Have gone into my library of a long list of exercise DVDs , videos, books and equipment I have purchase through the years to help with stay fit.
I will say I have a bounty , Tony Little, Jane Fonda, Patti Duke, Richard Simmons, Billy Blanks-Taebo, Windsor Pilate's and many others. Then there the books; Weight lifting to a fitter you, Escape your shape, Diets don't work, the Pilate's directory and I am sure others lost in the book piles. How about the machines; Treadmill, stepper, thigh master, row machine, gliders, Pilate's machine, the new Wii fit and all those that we got rid of. Finally let's not forget all those hand weights, stretch bands and door pulleys we have laying around. With all these tools the weight is still there.
So, what is missing? I know for me it is a support system that is not Weight Watches (group weigh in) but one that it laughing and crying and giving me the go go girl! My Mom used to do that and even though I slid back she still laughed, cried, listened and stuck with me.
So how did I fair this week? Not Good!! Gained some weight. Eating comfort food felt nice, because of some stress factors. This next week I will work harder on trying to exercise when the stress and sadness comes on. My thought is if I replace the old habits with a new healthier habit I will feel better.
I will continue to blog each day as to my progress. Helping me to deal with the feeling of overwhelming issues.

Fitness Friday-"Calgon Take Me Away!"

This week started out on a good foot. I have been down emotionally this week, (Missing my Mom). Some Days are like that. My routine I wanted to be in, Just did not pan out. Monday my daughter had no school. Tuesday I had meetings, hubby decided New tires were need for my car. Went 45 minutes away to have them installed, got home and had to go back. The tires were unbalanced and I would not be able to make a Trip to Virginia planed for Thursday. There went that day. Wednesday I had laundry, pack, need money (to the bank),Shop(Daughter told me on Tuesday night need bathing suit for trip). Urrugh, Calgon Take Me away. Stress! stress! stress!. Comfort food,Ahhh... Better now.

Fitness Friday -Need Another Wii Day

You know that phase " Not enough Days in the Week". That's how I feel. The days just flew by. Was up early 05:30 every day. Even did most of my household chores early. Just do not know what happened. It must have been the Sandman,he put me in a trance. Do not know what happened between the start and end . It's all a Blur!!! Heard the Wii calling the first part of the Week, then grew a deaf ear. Now here I am at the end of the week. Blogging about the week. Did I loose weight? Well I maintain the weight from last Friday. However, did beat my daughter in most of the activities. I really do not like this competition going on between us. Will have to get over it!! So, this week I will not let that Sandman control my drive. I will Wii every day in the morning before starting my household chores. Will not get on this computer before I Wii. So my plan is to get a protein bar and play Wii Fit at 5:30 am. That will give me 30 minutes before the household gets up. Now can anyone tell me how to log Bowling and tennis time on the Wii Fit Time Log?
New info on Logging extra exercise to Wii Log. thank you Cynthia

Fitness Friday -Off the Track

I haven't been active on the Wii as I should be. It did show, gained 1 lb. That is not bad,could be water gain or that extra bread I had. My daughter got the Wii Fit Bug. Thinks she is in competition with me. Not liking that. Hey, I haven't been a teen in 38 years!!! Running up to me to announce her hula hoop score,if I had a body like hers I could swing my hips like her. As I posted earlier this week I added some new characters and it is creepy to see the Lord running and Stepping with me. Adds a new meaning to the Lord is your Friend and guide. Why did I let them talk me into downloading that Mii? I can't just delete the LORD, it wouldn't be right!!Oh well I know he wants me to be fit.This is a new week. I Will Wii 30 minutes each day. I wrote (typed, Blogged) it down. Need to be reminded every day. Maybe one of my readers can remind me each day.I need outside support. Help......
