Week in review

Ok, so I haven't posted in a while, so much for wanting to blog every day. I guess that's why they call me a procrastinator!

Ayway, I just noticed I have my first 2 followers, YAY! Hello followers, hope you enjoy my blog!

So, I had a busy week and today I am being totally lazy. Thursday, I had my first belly dancing class. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be! I am not complaining though, I can actually tell that I do have muscles in the abdominal area. Not that I can see them, but they sure did hurt afterwards! And then, Friday, I tried EActive for the Wii, I had borrowed it from a friend to try and I actually enjoyed it a lot. Way better than the Fitness Coach (that's more just a cardio workout, EA is resistance training too!). So lucky me, since it was on sale at Walmart, my hubby bought it for me for Christmas, now, I'm actually looking forward to working out. I figured that not having it for a while will give me a reason to start playing Dance Dance Revolution again. I haven't played that in ages because I'm stuck on one level and can't unlock anything until I beat it. I guess I'll have to start practicing. Finally, yesterday, we brought our son to soccer, then went shopping, and then went to the pool, and in the evening I went to see District 9 with a friend. What a busy few days!

~Pause for movie critic~
District 9... My quick review of the movie... It was a good story that really makes you think about human nature, but I hated the way it was filmed, the camera work made me go queasy.
~Return to regular programming~

So food wise, I did really well until yesterday, so I'll actually have to get off my butt and work out tonight to make up for the extra points I ate.

Ok, so life is calling.
I hope you all have a good week, and make a goal to fit in a lot of activity.
My goal is to do some form of excercise at least 4 times this week.

Laters!

New shoes = renewed motivation?

Oh darn,
I had written a nice post and only clicked on 'save now' instead of 'publish post' and just now noticed so I lost my post! Oh well, live and move on.

I've been really busy in the last week and was OP until yesterday and today, weekends are always so hard! It doesn't help that today my inlaws visited and all they do it eat!

So tonight, I wanted to exercise, but DH is playing his Beatles guitar hero thingy, so I can't play DDR on our Wii. Sucks, but I got to blog surfing, now some people are going to have me as followers and have absolutely no idea who I am since I was just going from one post to the next.

I am also reading about C25K and Shred since I keep hearing about it. Wonder if I'll ever have the courage to tackle those on. Anyway, I have to go buy new running shoes tomorrow as mine are way past their good before # of kilometres. That's a good thing, since I've walked enough to ruin them, but not so good, since it wasn't in the recent past. So hopefully new shoes will motivate me quite a bit. Off to go check out those nike shoes I keep seeing in blogs!

A week already!

So I just noticed it's been a week since I've last posted. Gosh does a week ever go by quickly!

So here's a rundown of my week...
Monday and Tuesday, I worked 12 hour shifts, so I didn't get to do anything else. At my WI, I didn't loose anything, again. I found it so easy to loose with only controlling my food the first time around but it's just not working for me this time, so I guess I'll actually have to start exercising this time around.
The rest of the week was pretty hectic with painting and other various household chores.

Saturday, DS went to play soccer for the first time! It was so cute to see all these 3 and 4 year olds chasing the ball. I was amased at how good DS was at kicking the ball straight! The rest of the day was power cleaning, doing 6 loads of laundry and more painting since we were having company Sunday.

So, after thinking I'd finish the dished this morning before the in-laws came over with a friend of the family, that didn't work out since they got here 1 hour early, I was so not impressed. And since as always, all they do is think of eating, they brought tons of pastries and I ended up overeating. I don't even know how to count that stuff. So today is a bust. Though I was so full I haven't even had dinner yet. I am hoping that if I just have a light snack later, I'll pretty much make up for the overeating.

So now, the inlaws are gone, my DS is stuck in front of the tv, and I'm looking for a little workout inspiration. Mayby I'll pull out DDR tonight on the Wii and play a little since I haven't played in ages. I got stuck on a level and can't get past the stupid thing.. help!

OK, enough rambling on... off to find bloggers to stalk for inspiration.
