My New Obsession

So, I got something for Christmas, and it has quickly become my new obsession:

Wii Fit

Okay, I know, contain your laughter. Just a few short months ago, I used to go to the gym. But times have changed. Little babies can't go to the gym and I don't want to get fat. Enter the Wii Fit. Seriously, it is fun. And, working out long enough on it really does cause me to break a sweat. In fact, my muscles even feel a little sore. But the best part is...it is fun working out.

I like the challenge of trying to time my steps correctly when doing aerobics, or keeping all the hoops up when hula hooping. There is also the challenge of keeping my center of balance when doing yoga. I'm not saying the Wii Fit is for everyone, but at the moment, it is definitely for me...it is fun and makes me not feel lazy. Talk about a win, win situation! And the best part is...I don't have to leave my house to do it! That means no excuses about the rain/snow or time. Just turn on the tv and go...seriously LOVING IT!

Oh, and we added Connor as a pet on it so we can weigh him on the board. Are we smart or what?!?

Body Combat

So, a friend of mine invited me (or really, didn't want to face this alone) to body combat at the gym. Both of us went into the class blindly, not knowing what to expect. When we got into the crowded classroom, we discovered we were the only newbies in the class. But, the instructor insured us that we would catch on quickly. And, I figured if this class makes me look as buff as the instructor, then I want to do it!

So off we went, for an hour of horror. There were too many high kicks, squats and lunges to count. And it all happened so quickly. I definitely got a work out. My friend, who will remain nameless to protect the innocent, and I were covered in sweat. I mean seriously, it was nasty. But, having someone sweat it out beside me kept me going. Every time I felt like a dork, she encouraged me. And we kept going. We got through the hour of torture feeling better about ourselves. We even decided to go back next week! Of course, that decision was made before I woke up this morning in more pain than I have been in my entire life! So many muscles ache this morning. Hopefully it will be worth it!
