Rainy Days & Mondays

Actually, while it is both rainy and a Monday, I'm in a pretty decent mood. Also, even though I have neglected my blog over the weekend, I have actually been spending time with my trusty Wii Fit. I believe that on Saturday I did just over half an hour and that on Sunday, I managed to do nearly an hour.

Today, I just finished up 28 minutes.

I could probably go longer if the kids weren't crying and screaming. (That's been a large part of my lack of posting too.)

As I write this, Kieradyn is crying that she has nothing to do and that she's just "so sad".

So yeah... don't expect anything too profound. In fact, this is probably it because I need to go have a stern talking to with my eldest child.

Have a great day, M'lovelies!

Weighing In

There's good news, and there's bad news...

The good news is that, according to my Wii Fit Plus, I have actually lost 10 pounds since the last time I used it back in March or April. The bad news is that still put had me weighing in at a whopping 306 pounds.

I've been struggling with this all day, wondering how I could post that number here. I came to the realization, though, that if this is going to work, I need to be honest here... My hope is that by being honest with my teeny handful of followers (most who have probably forgotten all about me by now), I'll be forced to be honest with myself too.

I was feeling pretty nauseated this morning. So I didn't work out quite as much as I would have liked. Still, I'm proud of myself. I watched my calories today, and I worked out for 18 minutes, I think it was, on the Wii Fit. (Super Hula Hoops, basic run, and free stepping). So it was a step in the right direction. I could have laid back like normal and said, "Oh, I'll start tomorrow..." but I didn't.

That's something, right?

So... um...

Okay.

I have been a bad, bad blogger...

All six of you who follow my blog have been following for over a year now without a single post. I'm really bad about this, but a friend and I have decided that we need to lose weight. Since neither of us are the greatest when it comes to self control, we have realized that we need a way to make ourselves accountable. So, we are turning to blogging.

I am going to try to update much more frequently, and I'll be keeping tabs on the previously mentioned friend, Danny, and his blog too! (I'm sure he'll be returning the favor.) Since being lazy is kind of in my nature, I've decided to just kind of take over this poor neglected blog. I will still probably post some added randomness now and then, but it will also be the means for tracking my weight loss progress.

Today, I'll be trying to clear out some of the junk food from the house.

Tomorrow, I'll start in earnest...
