3 weeks in

I think the Wii Fit is told me I'm on day 24 so that's a little past the three week mark. So two weeks ago, I put on this shirt. I've had this shirt forever, but I stopped wearing it cause of my jiggly overflow. I put it on two weeks ago & was making sure I looked okay. When I turned to the side, I had to do a double take. No jiggly! & I was curvy. So, a week ago, I decided to wear that shirt again & I saw my sister in law. Again, I was LOVING the shirt. She actually commented that I looked good & that the Wii Fit was working. I was surprised she saw what I saw too but I blamed it on the shirt haha. I've continued the Wii Fit this week (kinda slacked last week cause AF came to visit lol) and I am trying to run 3 days a week. I found this: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml and I'm going to try that out. My brother in law & his wife got two jogging strollers (wifey is about 7 months pregnant right now) so they gave one to us. So, I have to put it to good use & I am quite excited that I don't have to do it while Matti is napping. So we'll see how that goes. Jason just hit up a port not too long ago & he was telling me about the water park he went to. It sounds amazing..I wish I could've gone. Water parks are the best! I hope we can go the Water Country USA when he gets back & use our annual free tickets =) Matti is awake now so I must fulfill my mommy duties!

get Fit!

I ran I think 2 days after that last post & that was my last run. :( boo. To make up for it, Jason got me an early birthday present: Wii Fit. I've been doing that daily..or every other day. & I use it for a whole hour. The yoga, strength exercises, and the aerobics. I don't really do the balance games since they are more for fun & to try with friends. I like it. It tracks my weight which upsets me cause it goes down which I don't want it to do & then it goes back up like 4 days later. I do feel a lot better since I've started using it daily. The strength exercises are my favorite! It has me doing lunges, rowing squats, push ups & side planks. It works my arms & legs out which is what I like. There are also plank exercises & I can hold myself up for 50 seconds or so. I've never gone into a gym to work out--I don't like people watching or seeing me while I work out. LOL..so even the running outside, I was worried someone was home & peeking out of their window. So, this is a good alternative. It probably will be "easy" for those that do work out though, but hey...I'm not one of those people. I just want to tone up some & I think it is helping. I definitely feel it in my legs & arms. &after an hour of this stuff, I am sweating...it's gross. I want to get back into running, but now it's so freaking hot...I really want a tread mill. Matti & I have been slacking on the walks too & those need to start back up. For real. But really, if I am sweating then that means that I'm working myself enough lol. Right?

Onto other things. It's June!! Actually, it's my birthday today--23. Woohoo! I was never a big one to celebrate birthdays...and this year I really am no into it at all. Probably cause I hate celebrating things without Jason. Marisa talked me into having dinner with friends though so that will be happening. In 20 days, Matti will be a year old. OMG. :( *side note: I need to make his appt* & that's enough of that...& it will be Xa's bday too! woot woot! & the best thing of all, since it's June, Jason will be home sooooooooooooooon! :) I am so excited! *I need to find a homecoming dress* So yea, people say life is a roller coaster. Mine about a week and a half ago was at the very bottom of a drop...and it's on it's way up again!

peace out & apple sauce!
