New year, New Plan

So, I didn't do bad at Christmas as far as the eating goes. On Christmas eve my family just has snack foods, lots of sweets. Honestly I had NO SWEETS! I know, shocker. But honestly, I ate 2 ham rolls, part of a chicken croissant (I shared with Sammy) and thats it. Today I ate a few sausage balls ( I know,,, bad) then at lunch ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatos and rolls. Yeah, yeah, lots of carbs. But I only ate part of Phillip's pecan pie. That's all I've had today, so I have to say, that is pretty good for me. I am such a sweets eater, so Christmas usually does me in!

I got the new Jillian Michaels's Wii Fit game. I am planning to use that and the regular Wii Fit as my exercise routine. My weight loss goal is going to be to lose 10 lbs in January. i will probably get a good start since I am camping down East for 3 days. In the middle of no where and very few places to eat.

Almost

So this morning I thought really hard about getting out of my nice warm bed...I really did. I though about it off and on from the time my alarm went off at 5am until 5:45am when my husband asked if I was planning to be late for work. I weighed the options of possibly working out later in the day instead of 5am...I decided I was much more likely to do my Wii Fit work out then. However I later realized that more than likely I will NOT have time to work out on the Wii, as my husband's oldest son is in town and we will be spending time with him. What about tomorrow? Well, we will see. Maybe I will get up, maybe not. I fought the urge to eat junk food all day, and managed to only eat pizza for dinner and a small piece of pecan pie. I had one glass of sweet tea and drank mostly water. That has got to count for something, right?

I was a bad girl

So, I did not get up early like I wanted and did not start my work out. Bad me.

I did however, weigh on the Wii and get my stats, which were not as bad as I expected. I haven't been on the Wii in 124 days (largely due to my knee injury) and I gained 1.1 lbs since then. So, thats not too bad. My goal right now is to lose 5 lbs in 2 weeks. That will be extremely difficult with Christmas right around the corner, but you have to start somewhere. i think it will be more of a reminder when I want to over eat all those Christmas goodies that I have a goal. I would love to be down a size or two by summer. If I can give up soda, I can certainly eat better.

So, tomorrow is a given that I am not going to eat the healthiest, as we are having cake (Sam's buttercream...hhmmm) and then dinner at Asiana......I guess portion control will be something to remember. I hope to be too busy socializing to eat. :)

I will not be posting my actual weight, only the amount of weight I lose or gain. :)

WELCOME

I am tired of being fat. I am tired of being tired. I really want to be in shape...again. Well, I have a Wii and I have a Wii Fit, why am I not using it? It is because I am too busy and frankly just a little lazy. The best way to be able to lose weight is to be accountable, not just to myself but other people. So, I though if I blogged my journey through losing weight while using the Wii, perhaps I would be motivated to do it.

I would love to lose 50 lbs. That is my goal. Of course I can't just use the Wii and think that will fix it, I also have to change my diet. My diet is HORRIBLE. I don't eat vegetables at all and I occasionally eat fruit. Chicken is my friend. Chips and chocolate are my BFF's.....lol. I have conquered soda. I don't drink it. Unfortunately I have replaced it with sweet tea. So, another goal is to drink water all day everyday and eat better. Good luck to me!

I plan to get up at 5am and start a Wii Fit training of at least 30 minutes to start out. I also need to eat breakfast to get my metabolism started. It will be hard and I am sure I will have many set backs, but I am going to give it a try.

Wish me luck!
