Wii Fit & TTC

Well, folks, it's official! I LOVE Wii Fit! I haven't even had it a week yet & I'm already loving it so much! Even when I'm tired & ragged from work, I want to do my Wii Fit exercises. I skipped the yoga & balance yesterday & today, because I've discovered a great new thing--BOXING! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! It is SO fun! I did the original one like 4 times today (3 minute sessions) until I got 3 stars out of four. Then I tried the "advanced" sessions (6 minutes) and got three stars on my first try! I was SO excited! I can REALLY feel the exercise both while I'm doing it & later. I can feel it in my arms, legs, and stomach! Yay! I love exercising! The only craptastic part? I'm doing it at night & then I can't fall asleep. How to get around that? I guess eventually I'll have to get up early enough to do it before work. UGH.

So, on the TTC front. Things are not looking good. I'm 14 DPO, supposedly, but no sign of old Aunt Flo yet. Pregnancy tests last night & tonight were both negative. I'm fully expecting her to make her appearance tonight, during my slumber. But, I do normally spot for a day or so before AF...so it's wierd.

I just looked at my chart. I have spotted for one day (AT LEAST) on every single cycle and most cycles that I was ovulating on I spotted for 2 days...so what is going on! Tomorrow, if I'm not bleeding, I'm going to take another test, as AF is officially supposed to start then. It can't be the exercise, because you can't change your LP. You can change your Pre-O cycle length, but not your LP. So, I don't know what's going on. Pray for me, I'd really like to be pregnant this month since it would make my due date Oct. 2, 2009! A little Halloween baby! If I miss this month, I'll have to dress up as the dumb "bun in the oven" costume because I'd be preggo on Halloween (which is my MOST favorite holiday of the year!)

And still, if I'm not pregnant this cycle, I'm NOT going to chart next month. Not going to do it.

OK, the Oreos are calling my name & I must resist...so I'm off to bed!

I love Wii Fit!

Hey,
I love Wii Fit! I unlocked a new game today when I was "not" doing my exercises. I just hopped on to enter all the walking I did at the Science Fair and do my body test (Wii Fit age=30) and then I played one game, which unlocked the new game. The new game is a step boxing game...it's kind of like Tae-Bo! I LOVE Tae-Bo! So, I played that for like 25 minutes & I did a bunch of balance games too. All in all, I lost 0.9 lbs during my workout. Amazing. I think I'll do some more after dinner.
Peace

It's HEEEEEREEEE!

Unloading the goodies! Like a kid in the candy store!

Crazy hula-hooping skills! Yea! In the first picture you can see Grayson, he was hula-hooping with me!

Mandy and Grayson doing push ups!

'Member that litlte guy? Spencer Elias who was born in July? Yea, he's a big 'un now! Look at him sitting up all by himself & chowing down on a teething ring. He's about 6 months old right now. He also has CRAZY hair!

I watched the boys after work, ran to the Girl Scount Council to drop off money & pick up wrist bands, then went home. Mandy came to get the boys & ended up hanging out with me. We waited & waited & waited (while I cleaned house) for the Wii Fit to arrive! Finally at 6:20, the UPS truck pulled up! Yay!

Mandy and I unloaded the boxes & got right to playing! I weighed in at 193.5 lbs. according to the scale with an unmentionable BMI. (from now on that's the scale I'm going by!) When Tim got home (around 7:30, silly work-a-holic!) he played for a tiny bit, before we headed out to Fazoli's for dinner.

Mandy & the boys came with & we had a nice little meal.

When we got home, I played Wii Fit, then Tim played while I caught up on blogs, comments, and e-mails! All in all a very busy, tiring day. (I didn't even mention the hour I spent crying in the principal's office today! Another post all on it's own, that story is...)

Night!

Think Thin Thursday!

Well, welcome to another edition of Think Thin Thursday, courtesy of "The Not So Blog, Blog".

Yay! Thinking THIN is great! Not that I've actually lost any weight BUT, at least I've got the MENTALITY down! Ha ha!

So, this week I drank my bottle of water on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday. So 5/7 is not bad, what do you think, do I get credit for that or not? The biggest hurdle to drinking the water, was having access to it. I left my bottle at home on Wednesday & Sunday we were out and about so much I didn't have time to drink! I also didn't lose any weight. I maintained the exact same weight, which is better than bouncing around.

This week my goal is to maintain the no caffiene diet, drink my water EVERY day, and actually manage to shed some weight, even if it's only 1/2 a pound!

What do I plan on doing to help with this, you might ask? Well, as of tomorrow, I am going to be the PROUD & oh-so-happy owner of Wii Fit! I can't wait to get on there & exercise my belly off!

Wish me luck!

This week's challenge/tast from Bridgette is to link up to a site that helps us with our weight loss. This one is actually difficult for me, because I don't really have a "weight loss" website. I hated Spark people after about the 20th e-mail. I sucked at Weight Watchers. I can't "diet" so I'm not looking for low-fat meal options. The only real place I go to for support is HERE & Ovusoft. My message board girls are encouraging me to lose weight, since it will hopefully help me get pregnant & then maintain it! Even though I sometimes feel like I'm talking to myself here on my little piece of the blog-o-sphere, I really do appreciate all the comments and support I get from my readers!

Now, I'm off to give some love to my fellow Think Thin Ladies!

If you'd like an extra nudge on the weight loss track, feel free to join our group!

Wii Fit is coming to live with ME!

Well the highlight of my day yesterday was that I bought Wii Fit online! Yay! I am hoping it gets here Friday so I can play it! I had Girl Scouts last night & that was fun, the girl's worked on their skit.

Today was a pretty boring day at work. I had a Science Lead Teacher meeting in the afternoon. Then on my way home I went to Food Lion to get a few groceries. Then I cooked steaks and mashed potatoes for Tim and I before running out to Texas Roadhouse for appetizers with Melanie. We had a nice little visit, chit chatting, and cutting up.

Since I've been home, I've just been catching up on blogs & hopping around the blog-o-sphere.

Hey guess what, I'm looking into getting a custom layout/blog design. Want to help me find inspiration on the web? Point me to blogs that TOTALLY rock!

Night!

I'm stuffed...

Let's see...today's been busy in an un-busy way!

We were supposed to be up at 7:30 am to get ready for church. BUT, we had been up until 2 am watching Harry Potter (among other things) and so that didn't happen. We ended up sleeping until after 10.

We rushed to get ready to go, left the house at 11 (church starts at 11:15), got almost there & realized the surface would be almost over by the time we got there, and turned around.

When we got home we ate some pizza and then got ready to go rollerblading. Um, yea, that's a LOT harder than it looks! My ankles & feet were killing me. We're afraid there may be a fit issue because they are causing my toes to go numb! If anyone knows anything about rollerblades, please let me know. The length is right my toes don't come all the way to the end. They are hurting me on the sides of my feet just by my heels. I skated back and forth in front of our house and a couple neighbors' houses and then I was done. It probably lasted less than 30 minutes!

After that, we got ready to go to the dog park. We took Rosie May and Wazowski with us. It got a LOT colder out there. I was freezing the whole time! Zowski made a friend with another lab and they had a good time playing. They kept running and jumping into each other. Rosie wanted to socialize more than play with the other dogs but she did do her share of running. (Including into the mud..urg!) At one point I was shivering so bad, a lady (a regular that we actually know) came up and gave me a little chihuaha mix elderly dog to snuggle under my sweater! He helped keep me warm until Tim decided he was cold too and it was time to go.

After the dog park, we came home, ate some cereal, and then Tim went back to work on the computer. (My computer is hooked back up again, since I tried to check my e-mail on the one Tim had up in it's place, broke something, got fussed at, fussed back and caused a big ruckus. We kissed and made up about 2 minutes after the frou-frou, but still. I don't like having my computer taken away.) I played Mario Kart Wii. We only had about an hour to kill until it was time to leave again.

Around 4:15, we headed out to Joe's Crab Shack to have dinner with James and Missy. The food there is overpriced and not worth it. We had a coupon for a free apetizer (Entertainment Book!) so we used that for the "Crab Dip." James and Missy shared the "Crab Steampot for Two" it was like $40 and they got 4 clusters of crab. Skinny ones, at that. Um, no. We passed on that. Tim got shrimp alfredo & I got popcorn shrimp. Trevor got a chicken nuggets kids' meal and at french fries. He's a SUPER quiet and well behaved kid. We love him. We had good talk and fellowship. James and Missy were going to come back to the house to play Wii, but then T-Man fell asleep and they had to go home, instead. We made a date for February so they'll be coming over then. I'm pretty amazed that they're coming here because they haven't been over since the fourth of July when T-Man was a baby. (2007)

Tim and I weren't ready to go home yet, so we went to Super Wal-Mart to look for Wii Fit. I REALLY want it and am on a quest to find it. If you see it in a store, TOTALLY call me! We walked around the whole place, like twice. We picked up some LocTite, so Tim could fix my office chair, a couple pairs of black socks for him, some hangers, and a couple books. I got ECLIPSE! and Tim got "John Adams" a biography that inspired the mini-series. I can't wait to read Eclipse. I listened to it on CD the first time I read it so I'm happy to have the actual book. I need to see about getting Twilight back from the Girl Scout mom I lent it to & put a fire under Melanie's butt so she'll read New Moon. (You'll love the series more once you read them chica-boom!)

When we got home, we made a list of all the things we need to spend money on this year. It's incomplete but we've got to start PLANNING our spending...and stop just blowing money. I've been putzing on my computer & Tim's playing Wii.

Time to go get me some nooky!

Night...
