Ouch!

I am aching... a lot! Going shopping and trying to lug heavy bags back to the car, followed by playing on the Kinect yesterday - and my body is telling me now in a very painful way! It's a case of my enthusiasm being in more abundance than my capability. I'll take it slower today... gentle exercise and a day sat doing something with my poor broken nails.

Oh... have a question to ask...

If anyone has a games platform like the Kinect or the Wii... something like that... what are the exercise games that you would recommend? Something not too strenuous, nor too difficult.

If anyone has, or has used, the Mel B workout or "The Biggest Loser" game, I'd love to know what you think of it.

Thank You!

The Weigh-In (week 2)

Ah, yes... the dreaded 'weigh-in' day is here again. Although I'm still a "Big Beautiful Chick" (or an Old Hen *lol*), my weight is still plummeting in the right direction. Two weeks into this whole diet and lifestyle change and I'm buzzing! It may be the Kinect that's helped - or maybe the jumping on the trampoline... but I've dropped more weight than I thought I would. Of course, hot sunny days and a craving for salad helps too :)

So...

Another drum roll for me this week...

I've lost ANOTHER

8 pounds!!!!

I am now at 16 stone 6 lbs  - that's 230 lbs on the nose!

A Pressie From Hubby...

Today my wonderful darling husband went out and bought me the most perfect present...

an XBox 360 and Kinect!

I really wanted the Kinect Adventures game - something to start me moving a little before embarking on a more serious exercise programme. He got me that too! There's a silly game where you fly around bursting bubbles - and I love that! I've also just ordered the 'Biggest Loser' disc, and also 'Mel Bs Workout'. I have only had a little go on the Kinect, because I went outside and played on the trampoline for 10 minutes. Trust me, at my age 10 minutes is MORE than enough *lol* As soon as you've had children, jumping on a big trampoline is just one big 'Tena Moment' :) I am quite pleased though... I jumped, sat down, then on my knees, and back up to jumping - something I've tried and never managed before (even when I was a skinny-minnie!). However... I have pulled a muscle in my side a little :( I reckon that if I keep moving around gently, it'll hurt less than if I just sit down and rest... maybe?

Anyways... I did weigh myself this morning, and I'm looking forward to logging my progress here tomorrow. Who am I kidding... I'm almost wetting myself with excitement. Bit like being on the trampoline but without the effort of bouncing *lol*
