the time is just whizzing by here - I didn't fully realize we were in August until I was looking at Audrey's August goals and remembered I need to do something with that when August gets here ...then I realized, it's already here!

I loved the fact that Audrey had Wii Fit related goals.
I've never kept specific track of what I do on the Wii partly because I wanted it to be as fun as possible and didn't want to detract by writing anything down.

However, the Wii does keep track of how many times you do each exercise so I compiled a beginning total for the month of August on how many times I've completed either a Yoga, Strength, Aerobics or Balance exercise with the following results;

I realize it's been a long time since I've blogged. Not much has changed though. Still no weight loss, although I think I have added some muscle, especially on my legs. My sister said my legs looked very muscular this weekend while we took a spin class. I'd love to have them muscular but unfortunately I think there must still be fat there because my pants are still tight at the hips and thighs. I've noticed the exercise plan doesn't have targeted inner/outer thigh exercises so I've added some of those in with the hope that combined with the cardio that'll help slim them down a bit.

My diet was all over the place this last weekend. I was out of town visiting family and celebrating my mom's birthday so we ate out a lot. Lots of seafood though. I was in Maryland so I had to indulge in a crab cake and I also had trout, which I think I've only had one time before.

Today was a much abbreviated workout because I overslept. The last 4 or 5 days have been a bit different. For one thing I haven't made my passel of sandwiches and salads and I've had some very late nights ...Sat night was so late I didn't end up laying down until 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon and had to be up at 5:30 to go to a birthday party.

Without the pre-made meals I don't think I've gotten in the 5-6 meals per day but rather more sparse eating with some generous meals thrown in the mix. Non-the-less, my weight was rock steady for the past 4 days and then took a drop today of a little over 5 pounds which I look at as a preview to a new, lower weight range. I have an adjustment appointment today at 3 p.m. and should be able to spend a good 8 hours studying after that so I've definitely hit my goal of 40 hours studying over the past four days.

So far I have only gone walking twice and done one Wii workout (this morning). Planning on going walking once it cools down tonight.

Nutrition was garbage over the weekend for one reason - fail to plan, plan to fail.

After my nap, I am going to cook up some extra lean meatballs, some pasta and maybe some brown rice so I have things on hand to throw together a quick meal. Already have some grilled chicken breast, and a salad mix, plus tomatoes on the vine almost ready to pick.

Oops someone woke up...so much for me sneaking in a quick 20 winks.
