Get in Shape Girl

There have been several things happen in the last couple of weeks that have made me realize that I am totally out of shape, and need to lose some weight. I think I have been in denial for a while, thinking that things would just fix themselves. But now I know that I need to get serious about doing something to fix myself. The first event that set this off was when I went hiking at Arches. It killed me! I was sore for days. Second, I had to buy a pair of pants that are a size bigger than the ones I have because I can't fit into any of my skinny pants. Sure, I bought them all when I was at the lowest weight I have been at since Jr. high, but I was still upset when I realized I don't fit into any of my summer clothes. And the last thing that sent me over the edge was that we bought a Wii Fit to play with. The first time I stepped on it the computer voice said "ouch" then told me I was overweight and made my little Mii (the little computer character that represents me) grow - so that she was fat too. I decided that I had been messing around too long and that it is now time to get serious about getting healthy.

I hope that with summer being here I will be able to find fun ways to exercise. If I mix that with eating smarter I hope to see some progress. Hopefully my next post on this topic will be about how successful I have been. Hopefully.

Wow! The Wii fit is MEAN! I would have thrown it against the wall and shown it who was boss. Good luck with the eating healthy and stuff!

I had a rude awakening like that not to long ago as well... One thing that I have found that makes me feel better... I have started the gym... I don't weigh myself (still too depressing) I measure in inches how much I have lost...muscle weighs more than fat! Also when I eat I take a normal portion (what I would normally eat) then I seperate it on my plate and only eat half... I have lost 5 inches on my waist...(but I weigh more) so good luck and keep us posted!!!

Winter is hard on us all. Too cold to go outside, and not much moving around. Seems like it's been a long time since the good weather was here. Hopefully that will improve. I know you can do it, because you have done it before! And you don't have very much to lose, you just want to get in better shape. I think you are bee-u-tee-ful just the way you are!

By the way, does that Wii know how tall you are? And also, does it know that you have a ummmmm.....nice rack? Those things should be taken into consideration! I am still kinda mad at the Wii for being mean to you.

I'm with Chrys on the tall and, well, rack thing. Cuz I certainly wouldn't say you were fat, more like shapely. I am rather jealous of your curves and think it's totally unfair I didn't get any! But if you ever wanna go hiking or something on the weekends, I'd like to tag along :-)
