Weight games

Melanie on the wiiI am now officially on a health kick. Not only have I gained almost 8lbs over the past few months but I just feel a bit of a mess in general. In fact I think I'm having a body crisis! My hair seems to have taken on a mind of its own, and will no longer do what it has always done and every day a new
wrinkle seems to appear (and each with a different child's name on it).
So far, I have managed to squeeze in half an hour each afternoon on the Wii fit as soon as I get home with the two younger ones from school. I am beginning to hate that machine. I weighed myself prior to doing the exercise and then again immediately after. But after sweating my guts out for 30
minutes gyrating through one gruelling exercise after another I was devastated to find that I had managed to actually gain a pound! Needless to say I almost threw my slipper at the screen!
For a change earlier this week I decided to play tennis but I must have strained my hand as the next day in work I could hardly pick up a pen, nevermind write anything! I have now decided to restrict my tennis playing to Friday nights and stick to the Wii in the week. So now I am embroiled in a contest with that confounded machine and believe me, I will win! Plus I have some great motivation - both of my friends have joined gyms and are looking great already. I don't have time or age on my side, but I have set a goal of losing 10lbs by the end of October so I shall keep you posted on my
progress - or lack of!
