    Welcome sjd!

    Well....my son jumpstarted my super workouts - I was doing the cool down on Day 6? and all of a sudden my son is playing with our extra remote, and boom - he shut off the entire wii for me!!! I saw red - wanted to scream and freak out. Sent my kid to his room - told him that what he did was bad, and that he knows better than to mess while mommy is working out! but I can remember what I logged - I'll just have to do it later again today! GRRR AHHHH

    Workout 6 Medium (time 1)
    Cals - 138.8
    Time - 22:13
    Exercises - 14/14?

    I cannot believe I logged this in and it won't count on the More active - ahhhhhhh......going to eat a ton of food and I'll be working out again tonight - I'll make sure my son is nowhere near me this time!

    so i survived day oneof the Kielbasa fest. I ate really well today - most of my good was from home - I only had one corn on the cob and a chicken gyro (*ok - a few bites of my kids chocolate chip mint ice cream too*)!!!
    But I walked the town twice - maybe an hour of walking total. and I had to do the Wii workout twice thanks to my oldest! So here's the 2nd round of today's workouts (Logged properly on the game too!) I cut out 3 workouts cause I'm exhausted and it's 10:30 at night here!

    Workout 6 Medium

    Cals - 100.4
    Time - 15.25
    Exercises - 11/11

    Going to watch a movie with my hubby and go to bed! Parade at 8:30 am! Won't really be on tomorrow, and sunday, so have a great weekend!!

    Kinda suprised to not see anyone on here since Friday - I worked out today even though it was a rest day for me on the Wii. Turns out the hubby and I planned a suprise trip to AC with the boys to get in a few beach days before my oldest goes to school next week. So instead of workouts on Monday and tuesday, I am getting them in on Sunday and Wednesday. So here are my stats for today, and I'll be back late on Wednesday night to put in that day's exercises - hope everyone has a great week!!

    Workout 7 Medium
    Cals - 144.4
    Time - 25:48
    Exercises - 14/14

    Better late then never :wink:

    Workout 11/24
    Calories Burned - 115.6 - HRM says 120
    Time - 0:23:46
    Exercises - 15/15

    It was a tough one too. I also walked tonight but splurged a little so had to work harder.

    I did however fine Skinny Cow fudge bars for only 90 calories .... YUM!

    Keep up the good work all :flowerforyou:

    Sbozek123 way to go at Kielbasa fest I am not sure I would have been so successful. I am trying to be so good because next month and in October we have 2 local fairs and I have to be honest, I have a mini donut addiction :cry:

    Hi! So I have a question. My hubby and I have talked about getting a Wii for our family. We are not really into video games, but I know the kids would love to have one. However, I want something I can work out with as we have long winters here (in Saskatchewan). Do you guys enjoy this program, it seems you do, and do I have to buy extra parts for it along with the "game" or is just buying the disc enough? Thanks for your thoughts ladies!

    Welcome :flowerforyou:

    I know about winter....I am in Ontario.

    The wii is pretty great. If you buy EA Sports Active you get the resistance band, game disc and a leg strap. You would need to buy the nunchuk I think, not sure the wii itself comes with one. Once you have that you are set.

    If you have any other questions let me know :smile:

    I am also a Canadian and have to endure the winter spent exercising alot indoors. I have both the first Wii Active and the More Workouts. I love both and have found that I've stuck with these programs more than any other workout DVD I've bought. I also have the Wii My Fitness Coach and like it, though not nearly as well as the Wii Active.

    Interestingly enough I wear my heart rate monitor during my Wii Active workouts and alway burn about 20 to 25 more calories than what the wii says I burn.

    Yay another member and a Canadian to boot :laugh:

    Welcome :flowerforyou:

    My HRM tells me I burned more too but then again I usually dance around while waiting for the next exercise!

    I was thinking about getting the fitness coach one but may just stick to EA. I hear there is suppose to be another one coming out soon. I love them both so far so I am a little giddy about a new one..lol.

    Let's get out butts in gear and finish this month right!
    My 6 week challenge will end a few days after my birthday in September so I am pretty excited to accomplish it ...finally!
    I have lost 9.1lbs so far this month and from what I hear it won't continue to be so rapid. I will need you all to help me stay motivated and positive!

    Welcome back :smile:

    I had a nice surprise tonight. I did a bit of walking and was vegging out on the couch, got up the energy to change and start my workout. I turned it on and it is a REST DAY! I was surprised and probably should have done one anyway but I am going to head to bed early tonight.

    See you tomorrow!

    We lost our hydro for 4 1/2 hours so I wasn't sure I would get it done. I am happy that I did it because I really want to complete the 6 week challenge without missing any days!

Appt. to get back on the pill - hoping I don't gain weight from taking it. haven't taken any BC since 2004!! Way past time I got back on it - no more babies here - at least for a little while!
