Way cool. I just looked at the Yoga moves and those are the moves I do in Bikram yoga on Thursday nights. wow, seems like a great game and weight loss tool!! Do you find you need a lot of room in front of the TV in order to do the moves full out?

You need about a full body lengths room behind you and probably 2 feet in front of you.. I just slide my coffee table out of the way when I want to play. I did over an hour today and I am sweating! those planks are killer! Yeah the yoga poses are the same as i do in class too and the board can sense if you are shaky and balanced so it really makes u work at your full potential to get a good score. It is really neat!
 
so today is a new day... i have decided that i need to start eating better. I am killin myself on the exercise but its not doing any good because then i go eat junk food!

Wii game sounds fun! I have contemplated it myself, but at the moment, the kids room has little space to move around.

There is also some sort of weight manager game for the DS, but it looks pretty lame from what I can tell.

have fun with the game!

Isn't it crazy how we can work out so much yet the scale won't budge due to our diet? It's maddening! I struggle too girlie, but we just have to start making better choices on "most days" :)

yeah.. it is really hard for me because i am such a picky eater... there are only about 10 healthy things i like and i am so sick of them so i go eat junk food for variety... it sucks! i wish i could get hypnotized into thinking i like all foods.. that would be a miracle! Think of all the options...salad...vegetables...fish...ENDLESS!

Oh man, that's my life story!!!! I could never do any of the planned out diets (the Zone, South Beach, etc), because there's so much I don't like!!! I don't even like fruits and veggies, and that makes life a bit difficult sometimes! :)

LOL! I'm the same way. I only eat a handful of certain fruits and veggies. I need hypnosis too. I wish I liked spinach in something other than spinach dip. lol

I have a food encyclopedia I am looking through to figure out how to cook and prepare some of the new stuff I'm thinking of trying. Yikes!! This book is cool, has the history of the plant and also the medicinal an nutritional benefits of each food.

I guess I can always pinch my nose and just swallow it.:puke:

Woo hoo! I finally lost a pound! lol.. Why does it have to be so hard! Thanks for the encouragement :)
 
Ok... so I have been soooooooooo busy with the move at work... All I have been doing all day for about 2 weeks now is carrying heavy boxes and furniture up and down the stairs... i probably go up the stairs about 200 times each day carrying something... By the time I get home I am DEAD and dont feel like posting on here... Anyways.. The move is about over!! :party:

I have been really serious about getting back into my sports... I played volleyball my entire life until about 2 years ago when I transfered colleges.. I came here and there was no where to play so I was lazy for a year and gained weight... About a year ago I decided to take up tennis and I have finally gotten pretty good at it! I am on a tennis team right now and it is a lot of fun. My best friend from my college volleyball team just moved back here so she showed me a place to play 3 times a week. I was so nervous about going tonight because I havent played in 2 years and the ppl were really good but it was liek I never left! I am so happy to be playing again! I wish I could play everyday like I used to!

:rant:

sooo... today, my gym buddy and friend from work found out that she is going to be in the Miss Georgia pagaent the same weekend we go to Vegas for the challenge... She has a trainer that she is going to work out with every day and she said i could join them for free! Sounds like a sweet deal and maybe now that I will be with someone who is actually motivated it might help me too!

Ok.. I am done ranting now!
 
Holy crap, free trainer??! Do it! Thats amazing right there- trainers can cost a lot of money. Glad to hear ya got to play volleyball again :) I looove volleyball, but I haven't played in a lot of years either.. Have a great day tomorrow! (especially since there won't be a ton of stairs to deal with anymore)
 
I hate moving, I've moved so many times!! I hope the unpacking goes smooth.

Free trainer? OMG! I'd be all over that. Aren't they usually like $50 an hour?

What's this pageant going on? We need to step it up!! Competition is going to be fierce in vegas.

We should have our own pageant. lol Wouldn't that be a Hoot! I mean a Hooter!
