January 17, 2010

BMI: 24.87
Weight: 173.7
Minutes: 20
Calories: 55

At my Weight Watchers weigh-in, my weight was 175.8 - so it looks like I'm wearing about 2 extra pounds worth of clothes. (nod) that seems about right. I'm always amazed at how heavy clothing can be. We talked about Exercise/Activity in WW this morning. For me, the most important thing is being mindful of my body. I don't want to mindlessly eat. Well neither should I mindlessly workout. Right?!

BODY TEST
Center of Balance: 52.0L:48.0R

Stillness Test:
Stability = 52% (previous 42%)
(sigh) keeping totally still and centered is really hard.

Judgement Test:
This is the one that you have to adjust your balance dot to slam into numbers less than 6 (or whatever the Wii picks for you - I think it was 4 last time). My dot was carooming all over the place today. Score = 19/20

Wii Age: 31
I still don't understand how it calculates the age. I'm very skeptical about it, and yet I can't help being curious every time.

Soccer Heading:
Scores: 194 - 180 - 191 - 198 - 202
Not bad for being tired and waking up from a bad dream. I'm happy to have the same feeling as yesterday - where I'm starting to feel like I 'get it'. My goal on this one is to get over 200 and avoid as many shoes and pandas as possible.

Ski Jump
Scores: 79/* (79) - 119/173 (292) - 133/150 (293) - 152/137 (289) - 133/128 (261)
Snowballed on the first one because I thought I might be able to 'cheat' by not squatting so much. (laugh) I'm trying to feel my feet more on this one. Staying steady is really hard for me. I still feel like I'm gripping too much with my toes.

Bubble Balance
Scores: 1192 - 1253 - RAINBOW! 1:20.78 - R 1:16.08 - R 1:18.45
I made the Rainbow! WooHOOOOO! LOL! I find it hilarious how fantastic it felt to finally make it under that damned rainbow. And not only once, but three times! I really sweated the first one. It feels really tremendous to have this better understanding of how to work my body to get to the rainbow. I could cry over the realization of being able to control that motor movement and balance. Not that I have much control, mind you. I'm still rating as Amateur by getting under the rainbow. But I don't care. I made it past Unbalanced. I persisted and did not give up which is a big accomplishment in itself. And I'm going to keep pushing it.

Notes:
I feel incredibly happy thinking about my success on the Bubble Balance. I'm looking forward to feeling that way about all the other games too - especially the hard ones like Soccer Heading.

But I'm having a hard time shaking off my work stress. My left eye has been twitching since I went back to work after vacation. The nightmare I woke up to this morning was work-related. I need to meditate today and really try to re-center emotionally. I also need to plan a day off - either this Friday or the next.

Went to Portland yesterday and got the extra modular level for my tv stand. Installed it last night and got everything ready for this morning's workout. I like it :) Did I also mention that I'm using a stool for my note-taking stand? That works slick too. Today, I've got chicken, mushrooms and barley in the crockpot, and am going for a one-hour 3-mile walk next.

Happy Wii-ness to you!
Amy :)
