Alright, here's the facts.
In my bare feet on a good day, I stand about 5 ft 5 inches.
I am of medium build.
Currently, I weigh 175 lbs.
I don't like working out and I HATE jogging. Joggers always look like somebody is prodding them in the rear with a fireplace poker.

However, I do realize that I need to lose 30-40 lbs. I was able to lose 30 lbs last year through reducing my caloric intake and exercise. Most mornings I would walk for 45 min-1 hr. If it was too cold/wet I would pop in my old Richard Simmons' "Sweatin To The Oldies" and a yoga tape.

Over the summer, with DS being home, I didn't have as much time to walk and/or work out as I had during the school year. Instead, we would spend 2-3 hrs at the local pool every day and I would do my best to keep moving, even if it was just treading water. That helped me maintain my weightloss over the summer, thankfully.

Now that school has started again, I'm walking again and our local library has recently acquired a Wii, which I tried out for the first time yesterday. I spent an hour an half or so playing Wii Tennis and I didn't just sit there. I was jumping around the room like a toddler on crack.:rotfl2: I really worked up a sweat and I felt terriffic after it was all over. The librarian told me they also have Mario and Sonic Olympics and plan on adding WiiFit also, as soon as the head librarian tests it out at her house to make sure it works.:rotfl:

My goal is to be at least 30 lbs lighter by the end of the school year in June. I don't think that's terribly unreasonable, do you?
 
Cute.
It's going to be hard for me to go walk today. I didn't sleep well last night and I feel like I've been beaten with sticks. My nose is all stopped up, I feel like I have a block of Playdoh wedged between my eyebrows and my eyes feel like round razorblades. I may or may not be running a fever...I can't tell. :( I just want to curl up on the couch and watch Elizabeth: The Golden Age.:happytv: I cannot be sick..can't be. :( My parents are supposed to come over tomorrow to celebrate my birthday and they're bring the demon..er..I mean..my two nieces with them. I need to vaccum, sweep and mop the kitchen and clean DS's bathroom besides. I don't have time to be sick.:sick:
