Back in the groove......

I'm proud to say that I have worked out three days in a row now! :) Friday, I was on the treadmill when I got a phone call that turned into a phone interview for a job that I really want, so I took that as sign from God that I was doing the right thing. ;)

Yesterday and today, I've worked on finding my way around the new Wii Fit that we got. I'm working on creating special routines for myself, which has taken me a little bit of time to figure out. I just finished a yoga and strength training workout that I really enjoyed, and think that I finally found something that will work in the mornings for me. My goal is to get up this week and do this routine before the kiddos get up. We'll see how it works - I think it might work. It's quiet enough that I should be able to do it without making too much noise. As long as my alarm doesn't wake them up, then we should be golden!

I'm still working on trying to get the treadmill workout in. I think that I can manage to do it at night, as long as the kids go to bed early enough. My biggest problem with working out at night is really just that I get so revved up and energized with working out that I find it hard to calm down enough to go to sleep in time to get up early enough in the morning. I think that if I do it immediately after the boys go to bed, though, I will have enough time. We'll see how it works!

I'm happy with how last week shaped up, with no weight gain, but I'm striving for a loss this week. My goals for this week are:

1) Continue drinking my water. This is usually really hard for me, because I just love coffee so much. However, I've been forcing myself to always have a glass of water out (and I make myself drink 2 glasses before letting myself have coffee), and so I've actually been meeting my goal of drinking 8 glasses a day.

2) Work out at least once a day - in some form. This could include a walk with the boys, the treadmill, or the Wii Fit. I'm going to try to be flexible with my workouts, so that I can squeeze them into our schedule a little bit better.

That's it for my goals this week. I have a couple meetings this week, as well as a dinner (that I'm not cooking, so I have no control over it), so I really want to focus on just eating healthy portions. I might throw in a food goal next week, but for now, I want to continue practicing my healthy eating habits, and focus more on figuring out this workout dilemma that I have.

My goal is to be down another two pounds this week - think I can make it? We have exactly 1 month until we're at Mike's interview at Michigan State, and I really need to be down another 10 pounds or so in order to fit into my clothes. I'm getting closer, but it's not quite enough....so now I'm giving it all that I've got to get there!!

I'm excited to start back up this week - how about you?!?!?!?!

For those of you who have a Wii Fit - what are your favourite workouts? Any advice?
