    Ok guys, this is day 7 for me. :) But I fully intend to keep going. I want to continue to work out on the wii at least 5 days a week. But for a while I'm going to try and keep shooting for every day, at least until it becomes a habit. They say it takes 21 days for something to become a habit. So I guess 7 down and 14 more to go. lol

    Day 7:
    Weight: Up half a pound from the the first day. :( But I'll bet it drops over night any day now.

    Wii Time: 32 minutes (2 minutes on basic run and 30 minutes on free run)

    Calories burned: Wii says 408 but MFP says 319. I'll go with MFP to be on the safe side. :)

    Good job getting some time in before the baby woke up. Hopefully you'll be able to fit more in later. :) It all adds up!

    I did...but not on the Wii. My husband took the boys and the dog for a long walk...and I got to go for a run....so much easier to do that, than with boys and dog in tow!

    Day 7:
    START WEIGHT: 198.2
    END WEIGHT: 196
    DIFFERENT: -2.2
    Time: 30 minutes minutes
    Calories Burnt: 135
    Activities: Advanced Step, Rhythm Parade, Perfect 10, Standing Knee, Tilt City, Lotus Focus, Hula Hoop x2, Plank x2, Triangle x2, Advanced Rhythm Kung Fu, Skateboard Arena

    So.. 2.2 pounds since last Saturday! That's super exciting. Like I've said, I'm going to keep this up for a month. And I think I'll keep posting it here, because it holds me accountable.

    Day 8: (I thought I'd post another day since I missed one day this week lol)

    Weight: Up a pound since day one. I'm very very not happy about that. But what can you do? A pound up doesn't mean that I give up on this, just means I need to keep working at it.

    Today's time: 34 minutes - 30 minutes Free Step and 4 minutes Rhythm Kung Fu Advanced. I logged the calorie burn the Wii said, even though the Wii reads me as 15 lbs lighter than I am. But oh well, it's better anyway to log a lower calorie burn then a higher one to be on the safe side. :)

    Ok guys, it's been 7 days for me (and an extra day to make up for missing a day). That's it for me on this challenge. Thank you guys so much for being a part of this! You guys have done some awesome work and I know most of you are still on the challenge! Keep up your great work! I'm so thankful that you guys decided to join me. It really helped keep me going even when I didn't feel like working out.

    I've gotten some good calorie burns and feel good that I'm doing this every day now. I will continue to work out on my Wii at least 5 days a week. Even though the scale didn't cooperate with me this week I know that has more to do with my levels of sodium then anything else. The progress I'm making physically is awesome and I know that eventually it will show up on the scales. :)

    Thank you to all of you for participating in this challenge with me! Keep rockin' it!

    *big hugs*

    Day 1 complete!

    Quick warmup using Rhythm Parade Beginner level
    2 Advanced Boxing (12 minutes)
    1 Advanced Super Hula Hoop (6 minutes, the last 3 about killed me! 1300+ spins though so that is good for me!)
    1 Advanced Step

    31 minutes, 194 calories.

    Tomorrow I get to do Rhythm Kung Fu... yay! :) I am trying so hard to get a perfect score on the advanced level of it!

    Day 2 (in 2 separate sessions)
    A few Rhythm Parade, lots of Rhythm Kung Fu, a couple regular hula hoops, the bird one (ouch!), then some torso twists and triceps extensions just to complete the arm workout. I think that was about it for today... I lost track!

    45 minutes, 255 calories

    Day 3 Done! :) Day 2 ended up being 60 minutes total... threw an expert boxing in there.

    Day 3 = rhythm parade warmup, a bit of juggling, obstacle course (which was so tiring... surely I burned more than 17 calories in 4 minutes on that one!)... kung fu to slow down the cardio and then quite a bit of easy yoga. My inhaler is MIA so I didn't want to end up with breathing issues tonight. :)

    30 minutes total
    127 calories burned

    Tomorrow is back to those upper arm workouts and (gulp) strength training

    Day 4... 30 minutes down

    Rhythm Parade advanced to warm up, then 26 minutes of their workout (1x of each option). I may do some more later... the workout had some strength training which was good... but I still want to do some boxing and try that obstacle course again.

    30 minutes, 136 calories. :)

    Day 4 ended up being 82 minutes and 459 calories...

    Day 5 (today) = 40 minutes, 250 calories (Boxing marathon!)

    Beginning Boxing
    Advanced Boxing
    Expert Boxing
    Advanced Boxing
    Beginning Boxing
    Triceps Extensions (x20 each side)
  • 21 minutes of yoga and strength training today, plus a couple of balance games.
    didn't quite get the whole thirty minutes because i did something to my back.
    note to self: don't do anything that requires you putting your legs over your head!

    SO! I finished my week on Saturday, but decided to keep doing this for the month of October and see if it makes a big difference in how much I'm losing. I wasn't able to do it yesterday.. But I'm going to keep tracking it here. It holds me accountable.

    Day 7 done... 30 minutes of Wii Free step. Wii said my calories were 158 but I tracked 119 since that is what MFP had. :) Can't beat exercising while watching TV! I usually let my little boy watch a bit of cartoons in the mornings so I may have to make that my Wii Free Step or Wii Free Run exercise time some mornings (it is usually my getting caught up on the internet time).

    Thanks so much for starting this challenge! I am going to be continuing it through the month too.

    I was wondering, i bought Wii Fit +. Does anyone know how to change it from Kilos to Pounds? I started it up and it wanted all this information that i was confused about because i have been weighing in Lbs for this site.

    Once i get used to a few of the settings, i might be joining you!
    Thank you!
