I am happy to announce that Wii Fit has actually gotten me to work up to a sweat.  I couldn’t believe it and 30 minutes later I could feel the pull in my calves.  I LOVE that feeling.  Before I found out I was pregnant with the Wii one I was at the gym 5 days per week.  My tummy was flat!  I want that back and I HUNGER to get that back.  I think that passion is the difference between every other time I’ve attempted to lose weight in the last almost 4 years.  I’m on day 16 and guess what….I’ve lost 7 POUNDS.  I got on this morning and thought I was going to fall over in shock.  I am so happy.  I am used to drinking all my water again and it’s the first thing I reach for in the morning.  My meals are cut back drastically, no sugar, and I’m eating so much better.  Fresh fruit and veggies galore. 
We did take the kids to Me N Eds tonight and I had a bit much of the garlic cheese bread and then 2 thin slices of pizza.  I actually exchanged a larger piece with Chloe for a thin piece.  Wow, I can’t believe I did that.  My body is actually online with this.  Dan brought home strawberries and blackberries tonight from work, 2 crates full, I’m freezing some to help tide me over during the week.  With 4 growing hungry kids they could be gone by Monday, LOL!  One of the reasons I am doing this is to teach my kids healthy eating habits.  I do have to say they have always eaten healthier than Dan and I, plus they are all very active. 
I found a bootcamp trainer who is doing sessions at the beach 6 days per week.  I’ll be working out 3 days per week.  It’s 6:30 to 7:30 am and I’m sure I’ll be hurting the first few weeks, but it’s all worth it. 

I made a big brunch for my family today and on Friday night hubby and I got bbq and I’ve been chowing down all weekend.  I didn’t get any excercise in except for 20 min on the Wii tonight(so sad).  I did keep up my water drinking(8 to 10 glasses per day), didn’t have any sweets, and only had 3 glasses of pepsi(was um, helping hubby finish up what we had in the house, yeah, that sounds about right).  I’m redirecting my thoughts to tomorrow and telling myself at least I didn’t slip and include all the bad things I used to like chips, candy, and ice cream.  No sweets were put in my mouth.  So, I feel much better on that end, but still disappointed about overeating.  I was even too guilty to track in fitday.  But, I’ve got a good feeling about the coming week and keeping on track.  It’s me and Wii fit tomorrow morning, that thing really can work up a sweat.  I am enjoying it so much.  I hope everyone has had a great weekend.

Today was my off day.  I have kept to my calorie counting and drinking my water.  I am down 4 pounds.  Yay!  I can’t wait to hit that first 10 pounds.  I’m not obsessed with food and I feel so much more free.  I am obsessed with decorating my house, LOL!  I am enjoying not counting the seconds to my next meal.  Just a little update about how I am doing.  Tomorrow is my weigh in for Ventura’s Biggest Loser, a local competition I am in.  It’s $20 to buy in…woohoo, I hope I win FIRST PLACE!

I got up this morning, ate my strawberry yogurt and drank my 2 glasses of water, and then got on my new excercise gear and went walking in our neighborhood.  I took my youngest son with me and got some good excercise and some quality time with my little guy.  I felt so good about getting that excercise in!  I’ve excercised 5 days straight now and kept to eating healthy.  I’ve already made my smoothie for breakfast tomorrow and it’s ready to go.  I’m getting up at 6:30 am, so I can go walking before hubby has to leave for work.  This is my FULL TIME JOB! I am committed to losing this weight and getting my life back!  I don’t even like making new friends, because I feel like they are looking at me going, FAT WOMAN!  Yes, my self-esteem is way down right now.  Okay, off to a soothing bath.
