Wii Fit Plus: Bicycling Game

I was lucky enough to get a Wii Fit Plus pad and game for Christmas.  I have been working on using the Wii fit pad to help me in my weight loss journey.  So yesterday I decided to click on the bicycle  game within the Wii Fit Plus game.  Trust me… NEVER… EVER click the bicycle game.   At first it was a lot of fun.  The faster you run on the Wii Fit Pad the faster your bike goes.  I was having a lot of fun.

That is until I figured out you have to find flags.  It is not like you have to find 4-5 flags… You have to find 13.  I ran in place for 9 minutes total and thought that I was going to die.  I would have quit if it were not for Abigail…

Me:  I CANNOT do this…

Abby:  Sure you can mom don’t be silly…

Me:  I think I am going to die

Abby:  Just get it done mom

Me:  Perhaps I should just reset the Wii

Abby:  Come on mom you have to finish what you started (who taught her that and why did she listen?)

Me:  I hate this

Abby:  You will love it when it is over… just come on mom…

And so I did finish and I did not die.  It stinks when your kids throw what you tell them back into your face!  TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS WII FIT PLUS ACTIVITY!!!!!

I know you will all try it but trust me…

Weight Loss: Day 4

January 5, 2010 By 2 Comments

I had another wonderful day on my weight loss journey again.  I am sure that you are all getting a little tired of hearing about it but it went quite well.  I was serious about exercise today and walked outside in the 15 degree weather again.  I took the older two girls with me and we had a nice time.  We walked a little more then a mile together.  In addition to that I did the Wii fit for 45 minutes today and burned 385 calories.  I had a shake and 1/2 of a grapefruit for breakfast, a chicken salad for lunch and the most delisious Honey-Mustard chicken for dinner with some rice and a

salad.  I am not sure if I ate enough today but I only ate when I was hungry.  I am sure it will all catch up with me tomorrow.

All in all I am feeling pretty great.  I guess that in a lot of ways I am feeling proud of myself.  I am believing in myself.  It is something I have not felt in a long time.  I have still not weighed myself.  I will weigh in on Saturday when we hit one week in.  I am hoping for good things to happen.  If the scale disappointed me with no weight loss, I will know that it is not because I have not worked hard this week.  I have agreed to be patient with myself.  I did not gain all of this weight in a week and I will not loose it in a day.

I also started a facebook group where anyone is welcome for support, recipe ideas, exercise routines.  It is a place where we can all come together and loose.  The group is Becca’s Belly Busters.

The honey-mustard chicken was wonderful so I posted the recipe click here.

Wii Fit Pad: The Discrimination

So my sister in law was nice enough to bring over the Wii fit pad today.  I have to say that I love it.  It is a lot of fun.  I just have one problem with it.  It is not a game that caters to people with disabilities.  I know it is called Wii fit but can’t people with disabilities be fit?

As a preface to all of this I shattered a bone in my foot this past summer and broke 1-2 more.  I am having an awful time with it and am not able to do many exercises.  So I was excited to try out the Wii fit in hopes that my weight and pain would reduce.  The pain is greater and my weight is yet to be determined.  I just wish that when developing the Wii they had thought of other people.  You know people without the perfect body, people with disabilities.

I do like it though and I am hoping that my kids get me one for the up coming holiday.  You know the one.  MOTHER’S DAY!  The best day of all.

Spring Break Survival: Last Day!

April 19, 2009 By 2 Comments

Here we are with 21 hours left of this terribly long Spring break.  I do not understand why it is called a break.  I think that the bigger break will come tomorrow when all of the kids head back to school.  I can see why it is a break for the kids but I did not find that it was all that much of a break.  I think that the kids had an alright time.  Here are a few things that we did.

  • We went to the park which was great.  Not only did the kids have a great time but they also burned off some of that left over winter cabin fever.
  • We had a beauty day where I was able to cut Emma’s hair.  We also did finger nails and toe nails.  The girls had a great time and this gave me great ideas for summer break.  Perhaps we will have theme days this summer.  This will keep the kids interested.
  • We had play dates.  The girls have a friend down the street who they played with a lot this break.  I just have one quick question… when did playing become a date?  I remember I used to just go and knock on the door of a friend or two and see who could play.  All of this prearranging is a little stressful!
  • We went to our friends house and had dinner and the kids watched movies and played games while the adults had adult time.
  • We played Wii for an entire day!  I could not believe how addictive it was.  I think that on a rainy summer day the Wii will come in handy.  We may been have to buy a few more games in order to assure that we can have fun all summer long.
  • We got a little more unpacking done.  This was really important.  I am getting tired of all of the clutter.  I just hate living out of boxes.

I think that we could have done more.  I just am not sure that I can sustain all of this entertaining of children all summer long.  How I wish that I could afford camp for the entire summer!  All I have to say to Spring break is “Hit the road jack!”
