Yesterday was a mixed day - I went swimming in the morning which was really nice... did half an hour and then sat in the sauna for 10 minutes or so. Had a good breakfast and was doing really well until lunch.. it was my last day in Windsor for awhile as I have been helping in that office while people have been away.. I went down to M&S to buy some treats...big mistake...when will I learn that if there are treats there that I like..I will have them.. I bought some of their mini Flapjacks... I then consumed 8... I felt so bad after (excatly the same as last week) but instead of crying about it I went home and got the Wii Fit out...
I haven't used the Wii Fit for AGES...Biggy hooked it all up for me the other day... I forgot how much fun it is. Firstly I did the body test and it showed that since I last did it (nearly 500 days ago) I am down by 2.5 stone... pretty accurate...and also the scales also were in line with what my scales say so the digital ones can all just go away... it put my body age at 23 ( I'm 27) but did also put me as obese.... Biggy has put on a stone and has a body age of 40 ( he is 24) ... I was very chuffed at that as also means he is heavier than me... and although it doesn't look it.. I don't think I have ever been lighter than him!
Anyway after all of that I completed 43 mins of further exercise and had a proper sweat on after.. I did the cycling, jogging, step routine and the hula hoops... all fun and not stressful and it allowed me to burn off an extra 400 or so calories and got me to over my 10000 step mark on my fitbit... to be honest I was pretty damn pleased... I don't think I would advocate the Wii Fit as your sole equipment for exercise but to get some extra movement going or for a bit of a fun it is really good.
Today I didn't make it to the gym.. I was totally in 2 minds... and by the time I had decided to go it was actually too late.. so I am going to do the Wii again tonight and make up for the missed session on Saturday.. I am fine about that as I am not doing anything this weekend and Biggy has to study so can go and do another 1.5hr session...
One thing that I am a little peeved about it that I got on the scales this morning and had a gain of about +3lbs... I am not too worried as have 3 days to counteract it and I am sure it was due to yesterday's eating... & I am sure that on Monday I will see the result I want...
Does anyone else still use their Wii Fit? Or like mine was it/is it at the back of your cupboard?
