Okay, so it had been a while since I had continued my "routine."
During that time off, I was working up a sweat, though...at our rental townhouse. The lease was up on July 31, so we ended up stuck there trying to get it deposit-refund ready...and we were there until 10pm just about every night last week. So in the war of bed vs. Wii Fit, I'm afraid bed won.
Of course, the little balance board character in the game flipped me flack for not working out in a week, but it was nothing to scare me away.
My BMI was the same, but I had gained 1.1 pounds.
I first started with Yoga--I still suck at Tree pose. I unlocked a few other moves, but there are still left to unlock.
Where I had the most success was with Strength Training--my ratings were awesome!
I logged about 35 minutes last night, and am back in the saddle to do it every day.

Day 2
I began Wii Fit after getting home from work while waiting for my husband to get home. I had a limited amount of time because we were heading to our old rental townhouse once he arrived home.
Body Test--good. I apparently had a smaller BMI (still in the 22 range), but I apparently had lost two pounds and was down to 126. Hmm...it could be that I took the first Body Test in the afternoon right after lunch, and this was around 5:30 on an empty stomach. Even the Wii Fit icon mentioned to do it around the same time of day...
I decided to do some Yoga. It was the only fitness category I hadn't touched. I was actually a little nervous because I hadn't done Yoga in a while (translation: at least two years!), and I wasn't sure if I actually had balance and muscle underneath my pudgy exterior.
Turns out I'm actually pretty good! On the Warrior pose I got a Yoga Master rating (four stars), but the Tree pose was my worst--and Tree pose used to be my best!
As I was going through the poses (I actually found the Sun Salutation to be a bit difficult!), I was absolutely blown away with the fact that I may actually be sore tomorrow due to a video game. I was suspicious when Wii Fit was first announced that it would be light exercise--and some of it is--but I never realized that this was something I could actually use to tone up and lose weight.
Well, the amazed thoughts didn't last long because my husband came home and we took off to go paint. I only logged in about 10 minutes. :(
