A New Post - for those who care... :)









Yesterday I did the unthinkable. I worked out on the Wii that I bought for "working out purposes" ! I chose a Male trainer (duh!) and set up my little lady (who has incredible hips) and went to work. Of course - I chose the LOW impact workout that was a total of  - drummmmmmmrrrrooooolllllllllll - 22 minutes! And that my friends, included all of the instructional video time! Yep - I was setting myself up to burn some serious calories! (127 - enough to burn off 2 and 3/4 of the 7 Oreos I ate the night before)

I had the option to reduce my workout and thus reduce my calorie burn -which  I thought about - but when I took out all the running - and my philosophy on running is: Only if I am being chased by a wild animal! And only if I am not ready to die! - I was only going to burn  roughly 1/2 an Oreo. And that my friends was completely unacceptable.

So run I did - and my trainer kept telling me I was TOO SLOW that and the words TOO SLOW kept flashing across the top of the screen. My "lady lumps" got super sore. 

Friends - I finished, well, not quite all of the workouts, but enough to burn one Oreo. And, well, its something right?

    Good job Nikki!! Seriously, it's always so hard to get back working out after awhile... So props! You did it.

    Congrats. . . I wonder how long it would take me to burn off the cinnabon I just finished. . . I'm not going to think about it. You're my hero.

    Woohoo!!!! Congrats! Golly, really getting started is always the hardest part, so way to talk yourself into it! I always do a good job of talking myself out of it . . . usually cuz I promise myself I'll do it later, but, really, does "later" ever happen? Yeah. So great job!!
