Wii Fit Blog Day 1
So started the WiiFit today. It is in fact a workout, but then I suppose that is the point. Right now my calf muscles feel seriously worked out.

I didn't realize I couldn't see my individual exercise scores after the fact, so I'll have to write both scores down the next time I work out and edit this entry.

From my recollection the only two things I was really good at were the Yoga Breathing exercise and the Strength Training Squats.

Despite the good score in breathing, I do believe I have a lot of work to do in that area. Mostly I was rated on the balance I maintained while breathing, not the actual breathing itself. I happen to be a mouth breather... a condition I am trying to work on, but it's difficult to break a lifetime of bad habit. Right now I am seriously considering using some packing tape or something to force it shut! :-)

I decided to start off slow, I can change my fitness goal to less over more or less time anytime I see fit. For now I set myself a goal of -22 pounds over three months. The computer tells me this means I have to try and lost appx. 3.5 pounds a week, which doesn't sound that unreasonable to me.

I think my only setback will be that I won't work out everyday. This is because I am totally self-conscious about working out and will only do it when no one is in the house with me. As such I won't work out on weekends when Steve is home, so I'll probably only do a M-F workout.
