Since 2003 I have lost about 30 pounds. SLOW is an understatement, but this year 180+/- pounds has felt pretty good. I am stronger, my clothes fit better (I am even able to wear some 12's for the first time in a LONG time). I was more confident about racing this year, hoping to be faster (and still hoping to be faster). And then... I borrowed my sister's Wii Fit to see if I would like it/use it. I did not know it was a scale. Worst of all, my "Mii" is fat.
When you weigh 213 pounds, 180 pounds seems almost normal weight. I mean everyone carries an extra few pounds, so when your goal weight is in the 150 range what's 25 more pounds? Now I know. I guess the good thing is that I am "overweight" and no longer "obese". As for the Wii, my kids like the games, and maybe the yoga/balance games/strength are good for a rainy day, but I would never use it for aerobics.
I like being alone with my thoughts (or a good podcast) for a run and spin class is pretty much a staple in my exercise schedule. If it ever stops raining, I'll be out on my bike (my bike that needs a name --- everyone's bike has a name, but mine), and my sisters are much better at kicking my butt than an Avatar.
