Finally, after taking several months off to be lazy, I’m back to my attempt at being a little healthier.
I’m taking things a little slower this time, and focusing more or trying to get rid of this extra weight than any sort of actual muscle toning. Right now I weigh about 180, ideally I should weigh between 142 and 156.
One calculator extended the minimum to 118, I’m not stupid enough to believe that I could ever weigh 118, short of starvation, and honestly I’d be afraid to see what I’d look like, but I would like to get down to around 150, which was my weight for more than a decade.
I think I’ve gained 10 or 15 pounds since I stopped smoking, and that was just in March, it’s not so much a cas of eating more, but my metabolism slowing down. That’s not to say that I don’t need to eat better, but it does at least make me feel a little better.
At any rate, the exercises for the past couple of nights have been 40-45 minutes of step, boxing and hula hoop. It’s my opinion (and seems to be shared by everyone that I’ve talked to), that the hula hoop is the most brutal exercise in Wii Fit. I can just do the six minute setting, and I’m afraid to try the ten minute one just yet, it more than the boxing or step or even running leaves me feeling like I actually did something.
More to come…
