Workin on my critical review

I will have it online, once I can get approved to either vimeo or youtube. Probably vimeo, since their quality is nicer.

Well, it's been a while

But I've been so busy with school. I apologize. I did manage to get a few running sessions in, but other than that, nothing exciting. I put back on a few pounds, mainly because I haven't eating right and I haven't really been able to find the time to exercise. It's too bad 40 minutes on the Wii Fit takes out an hour and ten minutes of my daily life or I'd be able to get on it more. I really hope they fix this issue in future games.

So, today

My fitness walking class had to get shown around the gym, where one of the workers would take us around individually and show us how each piece of machinery work. One of the ladies complimented me on my flexibility, which I attribute entirely to the yoga on the Wii fit.

I will say that Yoga is 100% the best quality of the Wii Fit. I never would have even known about the benefits of yoga nor would I have ever tried it without this thing. I always thought of yoga as "girly," but it really does work. Flexibility, energy, contentness, it's so helpful to my daily life that I'll definitely continue it for as long as I can.

I'm down to 166, which is good.

Running out of my mind.

Well it's been six days since I updated, and I ran for four out of those six, half an hour each day. My body is certainly adjusting as its getting easier and easier to complete these half hour long runs.

14 hours of Wii Fit credits, so I'm movin' on up. Everything has been unlocked for a while.. so maybe the newness is wearing off.

New stuff

Well I finally gave the push up challenge a try.. I did 24 push ups and side planks, and my arms hurt like crazy. I probably won't be doing that again for a while, considering I can barely do 20 of the regular push-up/sideplanks on the strength training part of the game. In other news, I just hit 12 hours total of Wii Fit credits, which is pretty astonishing to me, considering I haven't worked out hardly at all the past year before I took on this challenge.

Ill get back to my routine of running for the rest of the week, it looks like.

More running..

Well, I think I'm pretty addicted to the free run, seeing how it's all I've done on the Wii fit the past 3 days. It's just so easy to get a lot of time in without having to screw around with the menus.

Anyway, I'm up to 4.8 miles per 30 minutes, which is way up from my 4.1 I started out with.

Unfortunately, I'm at a plateau as far as weight loss is concerned. I've only lost .2 pounds in the past couple weeks. I guess I should start watching what I eat more, since my metabolism is dreadfully slow.

..

Free Run + NCAA tournament games = for the win.

I put in my 3rd session of free run, and I finished up at 4.565 miles for 30 minutes, so I think I'm building up some endurance. It's still not terribly vigorating, but it kind of hurts my shins to run in place for so run. I don't have any idea whether or not I would experience the same soreness running outside or on a track, but either way it's somewhat painful to walk the next day.

Until next time..
