Sunny and Sixty in Denver all week!

Denver is the greatest city to live in, I am convinced. Summers are mild here, with no humidity. Spring is in the 70's, sunny, and beautiful. Fall is in the 70's and is my absolute favorite season here. About October, trees start to change to beautiful shades of yellow, red, and oranges. It's really breathtaking. Winter is so great. Snow comes and melts the next day, temperatures are mild. This week it's been in the high 50's and even low 60's. In an hour drive we can go skiing, white water rafting, or hike to a waterfall. We get to golf in the foothills and see elk on the golf course. The mountains are so beautiful in every season and make for a truly spectacular sunset. I am so, so, so blessed to live here. Here are some pics, unrelated to this post, but some new ones of the kids.

Tried out the Wii fit....

Well, I finally got out the wii fit today. I went thru the start up process. It said I weighed 156, which I knew. It said I had a BMI of 27, which was sad. I am feeling a bit depressed. I am used to being in shape and having a weight of 120 and a BMI of 21-the Wii said I was overweight. I knew this, of course, but it's hurtful to hear it...even if it's just the Wii. I like the chart it has to graph the weightloss. I am going to do it daily and am looking foward to tracking the results. Okay-30lbs, 4 months! That is my goal!!!

I have not been good about posting lately...Sorry!!
Anyway. On Friday I weighed and had lost 2.2 pounds so I am 168.6. I am pretty happy about that as I had only started the new program on Monday. So I lost that in 4 days. That is 10 sticks of butter! My measurements were 34 for waist, 39 for bust and 42.5 for hips. I am looking forward to this Friday's weigh in. I feel like it should be good. The Biggest loser Wii has really been keeping me motivated. It's great!

Busy weekend, but I weighed in today

Our weekend was so busy, so I finally got a chance to weigh in today. I was down to 155lbs. I pretty much gained back the 7lbs I lost when I went back to Omaha for Christmas. I am back on track now.

THursday 1/7/10

I just finished 45 minutes of cardio and 15 of toning. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill changing the incline every 5 mins and 15 minutes on the eliptical. Then I did 15 minutes of toning on the Wii fit. Yesterday I was too busy to get a real work out in but did vacuum and mop for 30 minutes so that should count for something. I am looking forward to the weigh in tomorrow as I feel I have worked really hard this week.

January...I am back :)

Okay the Holiday break was really tough on my dieting! I did work out 7 out of the 10 days we were in Hawaii. But I also ate and drank a ton. I have decided to take the 8 week Biggest Loser challenge my new Wii game has. I started yesterday. It of course said I weighed 171 :( So depressing! Anyway I am going to officially weigh in again on Friday as I want that to be my official weigh in day. I will also do my measurements this Friday as I really want to know all that I am accomplishing.

oh, the holidays....

I did not stick to a healthy eating plan over my trip to Omaha. I am convinced that Chads mom is one of the unhealthiest cooks ever...and, to make matters worse, we were snowed in and I couldn't make it to the store to pick up some healthy alternatives. O'well. I am back in action today. I am not weighing myself this week because I am sure all the sugars and starches have made me regain some of the weight, weather in true mass or just water retention. Either way, I am giving myself a week to get it together again. No more traveling for atleast 3 months, so I will have plenty of time to stick to my plan of working out and eating healthy. I was on a roll, until the holidays hit.
