A WAHM Works Out With Wii Fit
Last Tuesday I attend the Mom It Forward GNO night on Twitter, and the topic was getting fit. Now it’s a huge goal of mine to get more fit this year and I’ve been making some efforts to eat better, drink more water and work out a little. DH got me a Wii Fit just after Christmas and I’ve used it a few times, but not consistently enough yet.
But at the GNO party I “met” Twitterer Wiimoms and realized some people have truly gotten more fit just be using the Wii and eating better! And one of the main guests for GNO was cutiebootycakes and she introduced me to the Modern Mom Challenge, which will give me a great place to monitor my progress and find support when I need it!
And I definitely think using the Wii Fit daily will help a lot. For example I used it for 34 minutes this morning and I can FEEL it in my abs, lol!! I do yoga poses, a few strength exercises and a lot of aerobics – my favorite is the hula hooping!! It fits well into my WAHM lifestyle too, because I can do it any time of day right in my tv room. I would like to add some extra weight training soon too, but I don’t want to do too much at first, so the Wii Fit workout and eating well are my main goals for the remainder of January.
And to hold myself accountable I’ll make a quick note of my weekly “weigh-in” weight every Monday here on my blog. Today’s weight was 150 lbs (ugh). Need to lose at least 20 to be at a healthy BMI, I’m only 5′2″ and small-boned, so 150 is quite chunky. I wear a size 10-12 depending on the clothing – I want to be a 6. Wish me luck!
Awesome! Let’s get the #GNO gals fit together eh? I made it to the gym today but last week was awful and only went once.. I hope to make it to the park today with kids for round two!

Good luck getting to the gym – that is a hard one for me, DH’s hours are too irregular to make it out away from the kids, so working out at home is a better fit.
