Progress

WorkoutWorkout

Getting up early to do a workout is not fun. I do not function very well before 7am it seems. But the husband has his fascination with his own game for now which means either I get up before him & work out on the xbox or I don't get to do it at all. Though I do go out for walks during lunch break as long as it's not raining!

Calorie count

BMI

I have been doing really well as you can see. For how long, who knows! But I have been tracking my food with Calorie Count (It's free!) and my weight via wii fit & doing some fun games on it, & working out on the kinect (xbox) I am especially in love with Zumba!

Zumba

I don't know if this is good or not (I'm guessing the fact it's given me "zumba instructor" as my ranking must be good!), it seems to not pick up my moves very well. I started ballroom & latin when I was 9, so I know a thing or two but this only seems to pick up moves every so often which is frustrating, but I do it because it's a fun workout. I jumped straight to "medium" difficulty and the "intermediate" class! Never one to go for easy :)

Health kick

Fat free yogurt, raspberries & granola

I seriously eat way too much rubbish. I've been a member of Calorie Count for quite some time, but now I have an iPhone I can track things on the go which is helping me (I shall do a post with my apps in at a later date ) I love how it's free & it tells me if I'm too low on vitamins or too high on fats etc. Yes, I'm back on my "I'm going to shift the extra poundage I put on since being with my husband" kick lol. I'm seriously hoping I stick to it this time & don't have 1 bad day and claim the world has ended and give up. It was Calorie Count that has made me realise that I'm not getting the good things I need, and all the bad stuff I have too much of, and things need to change. Though hubby does make it difficult!
I can be a bit of a drama queen at times.
Though if you're looking for inspiration, I'd go look at Cathy's "move more, eat less" series on her blog.

I'm also on PINTEREST if you want to have a nose at some images that make me happy, and I have an inspiring "health & wellbeing" board :) If you want to sign up too, leave me a comment and I shall send you an invite instead of having to wait months after putting a request in.
