I bow to the gods of Wii Fit

I changed my mind. I'm not an atheist anymore, I'm going to worship whoever it was that created the Wii Fit. (I'm so kidding, but I imagine my in-laws are praying for me right now.)

Wow, do I love that thing. As lazy as I naturally am, I LOVE working out. I actually love running, but right now it would put too much stress on my knees. I love the way I feel when I exercise and I love how I can feel my body getting stronger when I have a workout plan and I stick to it. This is why I love my Wii Fit. I've worked out every night for the past week (except last night, but that was date night, and we don't need to chat about that kind of exercise, now do we?) ;-) I can easily vary the workout by doing yoga, strength training, aerobics and balance games in different combinations. I've found I like the step aerobics and boxing the best, and I can go for an hour alternating between the two.
This is what I looked like in June of '02, right after Scott and I got engaged. I was probably 20 pounds lighter here than I am now. I wouldn't mind shooting for looking like this again. Currently, I'm 13 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight, and I've been keeping up with a decent diet too. Although I find that when I eat what I'm supposed to I eat a lot more than I'm used to and I feel hungry a lot more too. I think I'll post a weightloss update along with my nursing updates. Maybe it'll keep me motivated. Wish me luck!
