Ouch! The Wii Fit is kicking my butt, literally!!
I am in pain, and it's a good feeling. Every time I sit down I get a shot of pain in the muscles on the sides of my butt, and it's definitely because of my new Wii Fit regime!
Yesterday I did half an hour of boxing, skiing, slalom, and step aerobics - and I can certainly "feel the burn" today.
My friend Alfie just did a post about self talk, and only tonight I found myself telling her (ok, bragging) about my sore ass, and after praise from her, I of course had to include the obligatory "oh yes, but I'm so unfit that the workout wouldn't have done anything for a NORMAL person". Along with such gems as "the Wii Fit is a good toning workout for anyone, but the cardio aspect only really works if you're as unfit and lardy arsed as I am".
I really don't want to talk myself down like this anymore. It's certainly not helping me to achieve anything, or more importantly to believe I can achieve anything. So I'm going to TRY not to do it anymore. One step at a time!
Actually, I have proven to myself recently that I can show self control, having been on a self imposed detox for the last 2 weeks, 3 days and 4 hours (but who's counting?). I'm still not smoking or drinking, and it's been easier than I thought. I've decided not to drink until the 1st of July, and not to smoke again at all. I'm hoping it makes a big difference to my health, and lets face it - I was finding any excuse at all for a drink! If I had a good day, well it was time to celebrate! If I had a bad day, time to drown my sorrows. And not just one drink - unless one bottle counts as one drink! Now, I'm no alco (does saying that mean you are one??) - but I certainly was getting carried away with the drinks, so I'm glad I've slowed it down and when I do start drinking again - MODERATION will be the key.

You make me want to detox so badly! Can I do it?
On another note, you are so right, your efforts on the Wii are awesome and you certainly should NOT down play them! I had sore arms from one round of boxing let alone, step, boxing, skiing and slalom!! WELL DONE!!
You should be very proud of yourself and I know that the control you've shown with the detox will also be applied to your Wii Fit - the kilos are coming off baby and the feeling in your butt - well, that's because it's gonna be one sexy, slinky, gluteus maximus don't ya know!
