Imaginary word. Real weight loss.
Three nights in a row with 30 minutes or more logged in on Wii Fit … better than the past few months anyway. Mixed in a little bit of yoga — Sun Salutation and Half Moon baby! — as well as an in-place run around the happy island. Just about missed completing the tilt-the-board game. … Read more
Work is pretty evil as far as candy goes. I don’t have to look very far for free, bottomless supplies of sweets. There are at least three places — no, make that four — at work that I can pick up some Sourheads®, some bite-sized chocolate bars, Twizzlers®, whatever. Forget the healthy stuff on my … Read more
And it didn’t even make a snide comment at me! Probably was speechless because it thought I was dead. Thirty-one minutes of Wiixercise: 11 minutes of Hula-Hoop® (no, there’s no video), 13 minutes of rhythmic boxing, a couple games of soccer ball heading, one round of table tilting the balls down the holes, and one … Read more
Thanks NCN for being man enough to admit that you’re starting anew with your goals. I probably wouldn’t have done that. I need to do this too. I’m at 247 pounds, which is six pounds heavier than I was when I began this blog. My original goal was to hit 151 pounds by May of … Read more
Jim and I read this Time article at about the same time: Why exercise won’t make you thin (A friend on Facebook pointed me to it.) The article suggests that exercise has comparatively little to do with weight loss. What does make the difference is simply eating less. The calorie-burning effect of exercise is marginalized … Read more
I’m on Team Delta for the Man Vs. Debt weight loss challenge. I’m joining 29 other personal finance bloggers in a competition to reach weight goals. The challenge will run from June 1st through July 31st. I’ve set as a goal to lose 10 pounds during that time. So it’s more Wii Balance Board, more … Read more
That’s the number of days over the past three months I’ve exercised 30 minutes or more, according to my records at Joe’s Goals. Ouch. Like most every great plan at the beginning of the year, this one fizzled. It takes a lot of discipline to be the one out of twenty that will lose a … Read more
One of the guys that works in the same building I do at work bugs me every chance he gets about whether I’m going to the YMCA to exercise or not. This is a very good thing. I’ve asked him to keep needling me. He’s a little older than I am, and he’s trying to … Read more
I’m working out on them a couple times a week. Four or five times a week would be better. I prefer the ones that give an arm workout as well as the other parts. Holding onto the railings on the other machines seems a little like cheating, but I’m not one to talk right now. … Read more
It had been a while since I logged any time on Wii Fit. Bad me. It teases me a little when I miss a few days. The animated Balance Board was happy as always to see me again, and I put in 30 minutes for the first time in about a month without keeling over … Read more
