I tried to be good, I really tried*

Well, it is the start of week 6 of my 12 week challenge using the Your Shape fitness program for Wii by Ubisoft. I totally have been trying to be good, I swear, I am trying. But.. yes the But, which will end up on my BUTT, then some things happened.

I went away to a conference. I still tried, I had water and lots of walking. TONS of walking. We were at the Opryland Hotel for goodness sake, and well, that place is HUGE. I tried to eat as well as I was able, and watch my portion sizes.

But they had goodies there, and like an alcoholic with a smell of beer passing their nose, I crashed… and well, it wasn’t pretty. Can you say Potato Bar, where yeah, you add cheese, bacon, and so many other great toppings. Then a Friday night movie night, oh my, a TABLE FULL of candy. Popcorn, and soda. I couldn’t hold myself back.

Then I come home to a winter Blizzard, and have been cooped up in my house, and arguing kids, and stress, can you say STRESS. Yeah, Stress is DEFINITELY a trigger for me to eat.

I am not a happy camper at all, but I will get my car back on the race track. I feel like one of those racing cars that crashes into the side wall at 140 miles per house, and looses it’s tires and the pit crew needs to come and fix it all up and get it going again, WHERE IS MY PIT CREW? lol

A lot of the bloggers in this challenge have gotten off track, and it isn’t a wonder with that darned conference, lol and a lot of travelling going on right now. (by the way the conference was wonderful, and I learned a ton, and yeah had fun).

So we need to be each other’s Pit crew and get the tires back on and dents pounded out, and fluids replenished (via H2O) and we will be ready to roll this week.

Week 4 for the challenge was : Steps

Steps: Did you know that 10,000 steps a day is equal to 4 miles? This week, wear your watch (pedometer) daily. Making yourself more aware of how many steps you are getting in each day may actually help you exercise more.

I didn’t add up how many I got in this week, but I know I was not the highest stepper. Although I was proud of myself, when one day I got over 11K. That was excellent for me.

Week 5′s challenge was : Get Out Side

With the Blizzard we had here in Pittsburgh, I wasn’t able to go out as much as usual, not even back and forth on errands, since the roads were a mess. So I did get some outside time cleaning off cars, and one day I went over to my moms home and trekked up a SNOWY hill up her driveway. And the snow was up past my knee’s, so needless to say, THAT was exercise.

So we are now 1/2 way through. I didn’t lose any weight this week, but I didn’t gain any either, which is amazing considering the junk I have been eating and lack of exercise. I am happy to have Jenny to at least get me moving a few times this week. Since I am inside looking at snow and ice, which is not nice, at least Jenny is prettier to look at.

So we are at the start of week 6, and I have lost 10 pounds so far. I guess I am happy with it, cause without being in this challenge, I would still be at least 10 pounds heavier. So I guess I am okay with this.

Stay tuned to see what Week 6′s challenge will be and see if I can loose a few more pounds this week. Say a Prayer for me too This isn’t easy, even though I tried, I really tried to be good!
