April 18, 2010

BMI: 22.09
Weight: 154.4
COB: 52.4/47.6

Now that it's nice out, I've been out walking more and neglecting my Wii. I want to use if for upper body, balance and core strengthening. Time to try those hard and boring looking Strength exercises. 

I've also looked at some of the Wii accessories in the store. I found a pair of 1 pound gloves. I've see weights that go around the remotes too. 

I am now on Maintenance with Weight Watchers. I decided last week to go on it. I've got just enough coupons to get me through Maintenance and then I'll become a Lifetime Member and not have to pay for any more meetings! Yay!  They said I could continue to go down after being a Lifetime Member. I'm sure there has to be a charge for that. Maybe I'd have to drop and then pay for six weeks?  

WW is really unclear about how Maintenance and Lifetime work. What I've figured out so far is that I get to eat 4 points more of food a day. I was down to 20 points a day - and I typically do not use much of the weekly points. 24 points is really comfortable and allows me to have more naughty stuff like pizza and chips. I still lost weight this week though. It just seems really strange that I could eat more and still lose when I was scraping by each week for the last two months. One of my meeting leaders said that my metabolism is cranked up enough that it is burning through the extra calories. Ok. I wonder how long that'll last.  All that matters is that I continue to stay active and keep moving up my goal ladder.

Goal Ladder
I like that. Nice concept. 

I need to do a bunch of cleaning today because I'll have two coworkers coming over tomorrow night. I can't wait to get them on the Wii :)  

I'd like to make a complete list of all the games on Wii Fit Plus with their levels. A grid or something. And see which ones I've tried and how many stars I've gotten on them. Time is flying. There are a lot of games, and I think it'll take me until my birthday to get my "Wii Pro - All Games" goal. If I don't have a plan, time will slip away.

Walked Lake Harriet 3 times including to-from my mom's house. Also walked a good hike around Summit/Grand area in St. Paul with Terri.

Played some Wii - didn't do every day. Too busy!

Lost 5 pounds, but it was really, really dry there and I didn't drink as much water as I usually do.
