I worked out today. My legs are killing me now but at least I did it. I am not sure how I can arrange my evening to be sure I can work out and still eat at a reasonable hour. Meredith and I got home at 4:15ish. I fed her and then we sat together on the couch until she fell asleep. I put her in her crib and then went to workout on the Wii. I got in about 30 minutes. I was unloading the dishwasher when she woke up. Then I had to juggle her and cooking dinner. She is a good baby so she sat and played in her high chair and watched me cook. Even so, dinner was not until 7:30. I just have to figure out how to tweak my afternoon routine to get the workout in and get dinner cooked.
The Wii Fit is a good workout but really can get monotonous. I bought My Fitness Coach after reading some of the reviews online and on the WW website. It is a basically a DVD workout that adjusts based on answers from you on how you are doing. If you say that a sectionw as no sweat she makes it harder next time. I can honestly say that I can feel my workout from today in my legs. I did 15 minutes of the My Fitness Coach and then I did a 10 minute Free run with the Wii fit game. That is putting the remote in your pocket and running in place or around the room.
I feel like I really accomplished something today by working out. Oh boy that was one of my tasks for today. I was supposed to give myself credit. Way to go me. I also ate everything sitting down. I read my reasons this morning and once at work.
Tomorrow my goal for The Beck DIet is to eat slow and be mindful. This is really tough for me. I might have to take a few days on this one. I eat very fast. I always have. Really it is like I inhale and it is gone. Someone must have stolen my food as a child because I eat like someone will take it. When I had my daughter it got even worse. I would eat really fast so that if she cried i could attend to her and not have to worry about dinner getting cold. My husband, on the other hand, takes forever to eat. Not sure how I am going to accomplish this goal but I am certainly going to give it my all.
It's hard for me to eat slow also. As a teacher you usually end up inhaling your food because most of the time you only have 20 minutes for lunch if you're lucky. Add a baby to the mix and slow eating goes out the window. My husband and I took turns when the boys were little so that one of us could enjoy a hot meal without the rush.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for my Wii Fit to come in today. I've been wanting to by the fitness coach also, but I couldn't afford both right now. Maybe after the next payday I'll get the coach also.
yep 20 minutes. I have the bad habit of eating at my desk so I can have internet time while I eat. Unfortunately hubby sometimes gets home late so I try to go ahead and eat so I can get to bed. Have fun with the Wii Fit. I love mine.
