I don't know what, but something sparked my metabolism this past week. I lost three pounds! I can't help wondering how much more I would have lost if I had been a little bit better with my workouts, as I didn't exercise as often as I had wanted to. There just always seemed to be other things to do. On the positive side, my workout duration is up to about thirty-five minutes. Last night was the first time Wii Fit actually ordered me to take a break. And the really good news is that my knees are tolerating the longer workouts extremely well. My next goal is to make more of that workout time actual aerobic activity, and save the balance games for my off days when I'm too tired or too busy for a full workout.
Chris joined a gym this week, and also joined a "Biggest Loser" competition at work. He's already lost about twenty-five pounds on his own since January, which compared to what I've lost in the same amount of time, makes me want to throw sharp pointy things at him. Why does it have to be so much easier for men?
So let's see if I can do four 35-minute workouts this next week, with thirty minutes of actual aerobics, and at least ten minutes of balance games on the other three days. And let's see if I can lose another three pounds!
