I did two things last week that will hopefully put me on the road to better health.  They may also put me on the road to a nervous breakdown, but I’m taking my chances. On Tuesday I marched myself (and three reluctant kids…they weren’t expecting this side trip) into our YMCA and registered our family [...]

I decided to video blog this week’s Wii Mommies Fitness Friday, so here I am in my “housedress/mumu” after this morning’s workout!  Do you want to know a behind-the-scenes secret?  When Eli came and sat on my lap, it was apparent he had wet through his diaper as I was doing my workout this morning.  [...]

Here are the only people to use the Wii Fit in our home recently – my 15yo daughter (who gave me permission to film her in her baggy, baggy pajama pants) and my 17 month old son. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TjCvKJqQyY] I have no good excuses other than I’ve been REALLY REALLY busy (and I was away from [...]

It’s time for Fitness Friday, and this week I am the Featured post.  Yeah!  This video is on the long-ish side, but have some sympathy – I’ve been cooped up in the house with sick kids all week (husband has been in and out of town), and I needed some “big people” chat time (even [...]

Sometimes when you sign in for your Wii Fit workouts, the little Wii Fit scale will “ask” you if you’ve been doing any other activities outside of the Wii.  It wants to give you credit for your hard work!  I never try to account for outside activities, although some days the way I chase after [...]

I find that my workout routine evaporates on weekends.  This is the same for many of my routines – housework, blogging, and sadly even family scripture study.  Friday afternoons until Monday mornings just seem to fly by! So aside from the black-hole-on-weekends business, I’ve done really well this week.  Tues, Wed, Thurs, and Fri (this [...]

Finally!  A week where I don’t feel all rotten trying to post about my Wii Fit usage!  I’m not on an everyday schedule yet, but I have used it three times this week, and will likely use it for a fourth today.  I have found that I prefer doing it at night, usually after 9pm, [...]

I do not have a problem with high blood pressure.  I HAVE high blood pressure. The dr clarified that for me today. And then she prescribed me two medications which I will need to take daily for…hmm…the rest of my life, probably. Side effects of said medications:  frequent urination and a dry cough.  Which means [...]

Some extremely personal things do not translate well to blogs.  Say…like…the passion you might have for a book you’re reading.  And how you think every living, breathing, reading mammal should buy it.  In reevaluating where I invest my time, I have decided to ixnay my week-long series, in light of the fact that…well…let’s just say [...]

My husband was out of town and I was overwhelmed. My toddler wouldn’t nap for three days in a row, leaving me very little time w/o him trying to crawl all over the Wii Fit board. I’ve been stressing about two articles due soon and have been researching/writing in my spare time. In the sparest [...]
