Met my goal!

So my sister-in-law, Nancy, got Dan a Wii Fit for his birthday (I got him the Wii). And we absolutely LOVE it. I've been doing it for little over a month now, and today I met my goal! I actually got up at 5:30 to exercise (I know, I know, so uncharacteristic of me) and I weighed myself, and I lost the five pounds I wanted! I'm so excited!

Of course, now I have to lose five more, and five more, and five more.... you get the picture. But still, baby steps, right? I'm just thrilled the first five pounds are off!

My favorite exercises are the advanced step aerobics, the boxing, and the hula hoop. Those three exercises (especially the boxing and the hula hoop) totally get my heart rate going. I love it! I usually do that routine Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and then on Tuesday and Thursday I do more yoga and strength training, like the lunges and torso twists. I also work out in the gym at my work 4-5 days a week.

So yeah, it's been an exercise filled month or so, but I'm happy I finally met my goal!

Yay! I'm so glad you met your goal!
That takes alot of dedication to get up at 5:30! Plus you're getting so many more benefits like a stronger heart and stronger bones. Good Job!
