Well hubby and I joined a gym, Bally's Fitness Gym.  We went and exercised tonight.  We shall see how it all goes. It is s three year membership. Here is to me getting fit.

It makes a big difference when you have a partner to do it with (working out too heheheh) - good plan!

Okay, I'm back at it again.  The pound I gained from eating too much cheese when my calcium dropped is gone again.  Now if I can keep up the losing streak, I might make my next weight loss goal. 

I did find out that if you run on my treadmill fast enough and long enough while the dishwasher is running as well - the fuses blow.  Ooooops!

If you run the toaster and the microwave the fuses blow over here, so I can imagine what your treadmill did. Maybe you need to have a chat with your electronics.

I lost 6 pounds since my last visit in August with my neph. Last time he told me "you gained a bunch of weight. Stop. " Now he said "you lost weight. There I am being fair. Last time I said you gained. Today I say you lost."

Woohoo 6 pounds, but newsflash.. I'm still fat.

Since I have given up work and I go to the gym every day and walk more with my dogs I have lost another 20 kilos - now a total of 55 kilos.  I went out and got drunk last night - nope, I don't drinnk so that only took one glass of champagne. I want to drop another 15 kilos and then I will stop.  The first 10 were the hardest, then it just became about habit.  When I lose another 15 kilos I will show the before and after shots.  Just my luck, you won't even see the difference but the in the before shot I have long (white) blonde hair and I will be wearing a tent and in the after shot I will probably have what I have now - extrememly short (Jet) black hair.  Looks good with all that leather I bought to wear on Sluff's bike though!!! xxxx

I have been working out with a trainer.   She and I use the pool to work out in. It seems to be easier on the joints.  It was a hour in the pool today. And fifteen minutes on the bike.  Not bad for an old woman!

Thanks G-ma.  Hey Kit.....an hour in the pool is a long time when you first start then 15 minutes on the bike...wow...you must have been in pretty good shape with your fitness before you even started.  That's terrific.  And you are absolutely right about the pool.  Best form of exercise.  Very kind to the joints.  You are doing really well. Congrats.

Ok you have all inspired me...

I need to loose the weight I have gained on PD (they don't call it the Mars bar diet for nothing!).  There's nothing like filling your body with glucose 24/7!

I will start with walking the dog more. But is the Wii that good? My kids have already got PS 2 and 3. Do I really need another console? Or is it all a lot of hype? Will I ever get them away from the TV if I buckle and buy one?    ???

I am on an exercise regimen two to three times a week and have gained weight!  Holy crap! However the trainer says it is okay and the weight will come off. Just keep at it. I know muscles weighs more than fat and I think I am doing the muscle thing. When the body realizes hey more muscle than fat is being used then it will drop the weight.  I hope so!

Gaining muscle is a good thing, kit! 

Wattle, the people I know who have the Wii say it's good for everyone- much better than traditional games in terms of getting the kids some exercise, too.

Hey Jbeany.  I think it is great.  Personally I would rather get out and do traditional exercise but for kids who are addicted to their indoor games it is probably fabulous exercise.  I do the tennis and bowling and it is fun without feeling like you are doing exercise.  I just bought the WII fitness but haven't tried it yet.  If you want to spend some time with your kids doing something they will enjoy, the WII is a fun way to do it.  x

Oooooh, can I confess to being horrid today?  I ate way too much junk - I got a mini box of chocolates for a birthday gift, and ate all of them while I was on dialysis.  It was only 4 pieces, but that wasn't the bad part.  It was the cake I ate for dessert after dialysis that was the problem!  Cake and chocolates on the same day.  I will not be losing any weight this week!

The Wii works, if you do it.  But if you do have a PS2 and 3 there is the game called Dance Dance Revolution.  You can only find the game for the PS2 but some PS3's can play the game as well.  You buy this matt and you dance.  Its fun.  It is something you do when no one is around. :shy;  But it dose work.  It has diffrent levels, and you work your way up.  I have been trying to do it every morning, and it works.  It won't cost as much as buying a wii and the game.  Just thought I would share that.
