Wii Fit - Day 8

Well, it's been a week since I started my 30 day experiment, so I was looking forward to today's body test as being more representative of what I can accomplish with a week's worth of exercise.

I cheated and weighed a couple of hours early because the kids wanted to play Wii. So, if I take my 8pm weight... it was exactly the same weight as yesterday, giving me a weekly total loss of .6 lbs. Whoopity Doo! But if you take my second body test which I did at the same time I've done it every other night this past week... two hours later... after tucking kids in, checking my email, washing dishes and counters, and sweeping the floor... at that point, I'd actually gained .9 lbs. Giving me a weekly weight gain of .3 pounds. Now what on earth is so fattening about reading stories and cleaning the kitchen???

Wow! Underwhelming!

So tonight, I did strictly cardio:

• Short run
• Beginner Hula Hoop
• Beginner Step Dance
• Long Distance Run (again, only 8 minutes, definitely no marathon)
• Advanced Hula Hoop
• Advanced Step Dance
• Advanced Boxing

This brought me up to 31 minutes, so I rewarded myself by taking cleats in the head and creepy decapitated panda heads, with the odd soccer ball actually hitting it's target. Then I skied into several flags, proving once again that I am "unbalanced".

Sigh!

So... tonight I was 40, Alex was 23, and Connor was 9.
