My weekend has been busy! I was off Friday and spent it with Troy and kids doing our usual running around town errands, house cleaning, laundry...yeah yawn!! Troy decided that Friday would be a good night to go out to dinner together for Valentines. Thanks to my wonderful mother-in-law, Glenna...that is what we did.
When we returned we got the kids to bed and broke out the new Wii to give it a whirl. We bowled and then played golf. I am not a natural at anything athletic, unlike my husband. I whipped him on the first game of bowling and golf...he returned by beating me back of course.
Saturday was nothing too exciting. Usual weekend day and I used it as a "rest day" from working out. I was feeling the soreness good from weight lifting Thursday at the gym and then adding on the 2 hours of Wii Friday, it was time.
Sunday (today) I took the kids to Sunday school and church. I was counting on my 2 yr old son to take a good long nap so that I could try the Wii Fit part. I got as far as setting up my account and then I gave up on thinking he was going to fall asleep. UGH!! The Wii Fit and I are not good friends right now, it depressed me even more than I already am about my body. I am short and I am aware that I need to weigh less than I do now. When it gave me my "Wii age" by my body composition, weight, and balance abilities...I was really depressed lol. It gave me an age of "42" and "overweight" and my BMI was 29...it needs to be 25 to be "healthy". It said my optimal weight is 116!!!!! OMG no way will that happen. Ok It could, but unlikely. If this is the case I have another 39 lbs to loose. Now do you see why I don't like it? Ok I do but I don't. I didn't get to do a workout yet, but I will tonight once I get the kids to bed.
I finally got to take a run outside today. Oh it was beautiful out. 65 degrees, sunny, soggy and wet from all of the snow melting. I walk/ran 3.25 miles. I have not been out running on the streets for almost 2 months. I am trying to get my mileage and stamina built back up for some 5K races this spring. I need to build my "base" running fitness back up for my long distance training. 3 miles would be the shortest of the short runs during training...I barely made it today. I know I will be sore but if I wasn't then there is a problem!!
My food the last two days have been 75% good. I had 1 meal on each day that I am not proud of. I was in calorie range yesterday. Friday night dinner and today's lunch was a good push out of range. I will be able to get back on track tomorrow.
My breakfast the last two days was very filling and large yet under 400 calories. I had 2 pieces of turkey bacon, 1/4 cup of southwest egg whites, and 2 pieces of whole grain sara lee low calorie toast with a cup of skim milk. Gavin (my 2 yr old) loved it!! He likes anything I am eating but I really didn't think he would like the toast. I was wrong!! He didn't like the eggs...too spicy.
Monday is Valentines day and I hope everyone has a great one! I will be spending it in Salina with Gavin for his Ear Nose and Throat appointment. I hope to get another run in tomorrow and more Wii. I will give you my review tomorrow when I get time of the Wii Fit workouts.
