First post

This is my first public blog and is designed to document my year with the new Wii Fit Plus. I received this as a Christmas gift. We've had a wii gfor over a year, but never had the wii fit.

A little about me. I'm female, 35 years old, married to "P", with 3 children. Our son, "S", is 6 and has ADHD (it's not the "he'll grow out of it" or "he just needs structure" kind.) Our identical twin girls, "L" and "M", are 3 and love to read and dance. I work full-time and have just not made the time and effort needed to drop the 30+ pounds I've gained/kept on since my twins were conceived.

Prior to having kids I was very into exercise, including jogging and yoga. I am not committed in a new year's resolution kind of way, but in a "THIS MUST BE DONE FOR ME, DAMMIT!" kind of way. Got it?

I've used the wii fit plus for a week now. My original fitness age was 38 and my BMI was 29 (overweight, bordering on obese). After one week I have lost 3lbs, my balance is almost centered, and my BMI is down to 28.2

I am going to use this blog mostly to track my wii fit plus (WFP) progress, but note that I am also tracking my calories at www.livestrong.com and plan on integrating a hot yoga class and other exercises as time goes on.

My secondary goal with this blog is to post something everyday. If I post daily, then I have to do something with the WFP so I have something to write, right? Also, the mosre I do, then the more likely I can bump my husband out of the many top 10 spots he's already claimed.

S has basketball practice tonight so I will be giving the girls their baths and getting them to bed alone. That's usually exhausting enough. My hope is to also get in the 30min yoga routine I set up two nights ago with the WFP.
