Tea Gets Fit, Week 4

[teaberryblue]

So, I continued to exercise regularly last week– did my nice little ten minutes at lunch, and then some walking after work a few days. I did a lot of walking last week just looking for a new apartment (more on that later).

Fortunately, I found a great new apartment that I love! And it is much cheaper than where I am living now. Unfortunately, there will be no more walking home for lunch, and that means I need to rethink my exercise schedule.

I also started doing ten minutes of stretching right before bed, which seems to be helping with the restlessness I described last week.

Some routines are still very hard, but other ones I feel like they are much easier than they were when I started. The stretching is something that I enjoy and is so easy! My flexibility is pretty good– If I sit with one leg stretched out, I can old onto my big toe with the fingers of the opposite hand. That’s better than it was when I started.

Still no really visible signs of toning, as far as I can see, but the fact that the routines are seeming easier is a plus for me. I’m also getting higher scores in a lot of the Wii Fit games.

I’ve lost about 2 lbs since I started my exercise. The Wii Fit, ever the overbearing wannabe trainer, thinks I need to lose six pounds. I disagree and will be happy if I maintain my pants/dress size so I don’t have to buy new ones.

Of course, my weight frequently fluctuates up a pound or so in the course of a day. The Wii Fit thinks this is a reason to scold me and tries to tell me I need to think about my calorie intake. I am starting to think maybe I should skip the body test portion and just play the games.

Finally, this week’s pictures:

Also, my good friend whirled has also started recording her fitness activity! You can read hers here! Go, Whirled!

Huh, that's weird that it set a goal for you. I thought you had to set a goal yourself, hence why I made a stupid assumption about some kind of weight loss goal as some part of your efforts to get fit. Sorry about that. (I do think it's awesome that you're aiming for fitness rather than worrying so much about weight, by the way.)

I guess the last part of my previous comment should refer to the players for whom the Wii Fit recommends/sets goals of weight loss. I think the Wii Fit gives you occasional opportunities to change your goal, and I think you can even set a goal of +/- 0 lbs, but even putting it at that wouldn't be a great solution. (I say "I think" because my family has Wii Fit Plus, which may be a bit different. Of course, my memory could just be failing me altogether.)
