Hi!

Since joining the CC 4th of July Challenge 5 days ago, I have only lost 1 stinkin’ pound!  That means I have 7 more to go in a little more than a month!  I have some work to do. I don’t know if I can do it.  Do you think I can?

I exercised for an hour and a half yesterday.  This included 40 minutes Wii Sports Bowling, 20 minutes EA Sports Active (cardio and strength training), and walked like a crazy woman for half an hour.  It resulted in a half pound loss.  Does this mean I have to exercise an hour and a half EVERY DAY?!?!?!  Sometimes I help babysit for 13-14 hours (my mom signed us both up to babysit ALL THREE of the nieces and nephew, sometimes all on the same day.  It’s crazy!  They’re 3.5 yrs, 1.5 yrs, and almost 9 mos.  I love them like crazycakes, but they run me ragged!)  Some days, that’s the only exercise I get (as if that weren’t enough!).  Haha, I find it funny that my Wii EA Sports Active counts my babysitting days as “Rest Days” when those days are more hectic than the days where I actually find the time to exercise formally.

I see my dietitian on Thursday.  I am predicting that I have lost… *looks in her crystal ball because she can’t remember*… 7 lbs. since I last saw her!  I know I lost about 6 lbs last month, and then I lost another lb. this month…?  Why can I keep track?  I should see her on the first of each month.  That would make it easier.  Then I would know exactly how much I’ve lost each month.  I don’t like her scale though.  It runs a couple of pounds higher than mine… it’s all high tech and fancy.  Strange, because I have two scales, and they both say the same thing.  I have my regular *OLD* digital scale (I’m talking 10 years old :) ) , and my Wii Fit scale, which I think is more accurate because my decrepid old scale only measures in half pounds, while the Wii Fit, goes by much more tiny measurements (can’t remember.. brain not working…)  I go on the decrepid scale sans clothes to get the most accurate reading possible, and then I get on the Wii balance board with shorts and a t-shirt, then just tell it how much clothes I am wearing so it can adjust for that.  It’s usually pretty much the same as the old scale, give or take a little.  I wish I could buy a newer scale, but the Wii Fit balance board will have to do!

Alright, I’m done talking.  Hope I didn’t bore you too much.  Hope those of you who are on the 4th of July Challenge are doing well, and those of you who aren’t are doing well too.  Thank you to all who have given me comments!  I shall do the same in return!
