Now, as some of you may have read in one of my blogs last month, I have been trying to shift those extra pounds (and, to be honest, stones!) that have accumulated around my waistline (and in other areas that I don’t really need to share with all of you!)
It was all going really well. I was Wii Fit-ing three mornings a week for half an hour, and had managed to lose a whole stone – hurrah! This might be a slight over-estimation of actual weight loss, as my first measurement was done after dinner on Boxing Day, so I may have been slightly weighed down by the giant dinner and chocolate pudding dessert that I had recently devoured. I may have then done subsequent measurements first thing in the morning before eating anything at all. Oh well, never mind.
So, the plan was in place, the bellyage was shrinking (kind of!), and the salad was being consumed. I had forgone desserts, and was eating home-made yoghurt instead of chocolate pudding an custard – hurrah! By the way, my husband bought me the yoghurt maker for Christmas, and I was rather unsure about the whole thing, but it turns out that the yoghurt it makes is AMAZING and I actually love it. Bravo husbandido for being such a shiny star. Anywho, back to the subject at hand…
Things went a wee bit wrong when I got a cold. And had two days off work feeling utterly crapsville. And consequently had no routine. And did no Wii Fit because of feeling poorly. And stayed at home. And ate. A lot. Not good. Like a lot of people, I eat stuff when I am bored, and being home poorly is very boring. Not good.
So, a week later, when feeling muchly recovered, I re-visited my Wii Fit. I was actually a bit nervous, because I knew it would chastise me for not using it for a week. What is wrong with me?? I am worried about being judged by a COMPUTER GAME!!!!!! This is just not right. I am obviously losing my mind at the same time as losing some weight. Maybe fat cells and brain cells are intrinsically linked, and I shall become a svelte, gorgeous idiot. Hmmm…maybe it would be better to be big but retain some semblance of intelligence? Discuss.
Well, the Wii Fit was less mean to me than I thought, and I have still managed to lose a few pounds, but I think I need to go back in with renewed enthusiasm. On the good side, my jeans now fall down a bit, and I do look a bit smaller. Therefore, I shall continue in my mission. Now the next step is to go to the dreaded gym. The idea of this makes me quite nervous, and I am hoping to find a ‘Fatties Only’ gym, and therefore will not be bombarded with lots of fit, healthy, skinny people the instant I walk through the doors…I shall keep you informed. Wish me thinness…
