And so today begins another facet of my "new season".
I began my workout schedule today. My Hunny bought me the Wii Fit and the Biggest Loser 'game' to go with it. (ladies....I requested both things.....so he is in the clear ;P)
I was thinking, surely no 'game' would have an impact on me. I mean, I have 7 kids that I chase after and clean after, and barely break a sweat doing that. I have Praise Troupe once a week, and that makes me break a sweat a little more. But come on...a video game?
I was proven wrong. Bigtime.
It was about half way through that I knew that I was done for. When tears of frustration and realization that I was waaaay more out of shape than originally thought came streaming down, I realized that I may just shed some of this weight.
I have no unrealistic goals. After birthing 7 children, all of whom were c-sections, I know that the bod of my 20's has been lost forever. However, I also know that if I am able to apply myself and become determined enough, a healthy weight and body structure can be achieved.
I honestly do not have the funds nor the time to run to a gym, so this is wonderful that I feel that results ARE attainable with this 'game'.
I had my weigh in today. And though it was *** lbs, it still was not as bad as I was thinking. And really 46 lbs to lose sounds so much more attainable than what was originally in my mind.
So......it will take determination, a positive attitude, a constant focus on the goal line, and a whole lot of God.....but I am ready to exercise and eat the right way through this new season!!!
*just a small FYI.....if you do choose to do this as well, it is easier if you lock up your 2 yo twins first. Not too easy to cry through a workout that is already killing you only to have them think Mommy got down in that position for them to climb on her. :D
Way to go, girl!!! I'm proud of you!! Don't you love how kids automatically think that you get on the ground JUST SO they can climb on you?!?! It's like a universal kid code, or something....lol.
ReplyDeleteOOOHHH I got the biggest loser but haven't goten the balance board.. but you don't have to have it for the Biggest loser game. I barely made it thoruhg the warm up let's get real lol.. OF course my issue is my knees so I can already tell I am gonna have to use my knee brace for the work outs.. I am joining a gym though cause I can get a family plan for 18 a month for the first 3 people on the plan and after that the rest are free. Plus it is a good thing for Doug and me and a way to get out of the house and work off some pent up energy..
