Keeping it up

Happy Valentines Day!  My husband got me a digital scale for Valentines Day.  I told him that's one he won't live down -- but actually, I asked for one.  (He also got bath products and roses).  I'm looking forward to getting my scale out of the box and watching the numbers drop as I work on my routine.  Today is day #3 with the Wii Fit and I haven't been on it yet.. everyone else is asleep, so I'd better get to it!

Starting out

Okay, so we officially started a fitness campaign a month and a half ago, just after the new year.  It had nothing to do with resolutions, and everything to do with health.  I am diabetic and my blood sugar levels have been out of control.  We did not have insurance for several months (we do now) and I could not afford medicine or doctor's visits. 

We started a low (almost no) carb diet but still had not put in an exercise component - and THAT is where I have always struggled.  I need exercise, but I don't tend to like it. 

So, here I am on February 13 - yesterday I started using our new Wii Fit.  Thank you to some friends who kindly sold it to us for an amazing price.  I love the Wii Fit so far, my only difficulty is keeping the kids off of it while I try to use it.

I am 5'7"
185 lbs
29% BMI (according to wii fit)

Current Goal - weight of 180 on February 26
