Non-Scale Victory of Sorts

Last night daughter was at kick boxing, husband was at curling, puppy was napping, and there was nothing on tv. I was going to pop in Stargate Atlantis....but instead I popped on the Wii and did 41 minutes of boxing and the step. THEN I just sat around and watched tv ;-)

Yesterday my weights workout went well. I change my routine next week. Can't wait...NOT! Changing routines always hurts at first. I guess that's the point!

Oh, speaking of weights, remember I thought my program must really be working because my back muscles were so sore? Well, after I threw my first punch on the Wii last night, I realized it was from the boxing program on the Wii Fit. So, I believe that there is some benefit from that program now more than ever!!

Had a spat last night with husband that oozed over to this morning. We hardly ever fight, it is always over something stupid, and it stresses me out. Ugh. Such a bad way to end the day and start it.

I ran this morning on the treadmill. It was a good run, in that I got that awesome feeling you get in your lungs after a longish run. It was a hard one though, in that I wanted to stop after 10 minutes, after 20 minutes, after 28 minutes. I was ready to give up. I didn't (yay me) and finished my 6.5k as planned. I then stretched, which felt great and then worked on my trouble spots. Feels good to have it out of the way.

Got myself a Venti Skinny Caramel Latte on the way home to reward all my hard work. It is yummy. All I have left to do now is try to talk myself into taking the dog for a walk so he can enjoy this nice weather. Perhaps after lunch......I need to calibrate my Nike+ anyhow - it is showing longer distances than the treadmill....

Well bloggers, have a healthy day!!

    Congrats on doing that instead of just vegging out on the couch, way to go!

  4. Man, I hate in when arguments bleed over into other days...hope everything is smoothed over by dinner!

    How long have you been running to get up to 6.5K?

  5. My Nike+ tends to do that too. I think it depends on stride length and factors for the pull of the treadmill belt and such.

  6. Great job on your run this morning!

    I hate those fights that linger and then just go away, but they never really ever go away!

    I'm really needing to get myself a WII!! Soon very very soon! Get this house moving done and I think a WII will be purchased!

  7. Great job doing the Wii! We have a Wii too :) and I never use it! I need too - but after my day and workouts I am beat! oh and my Nike+ is making me mad too when I am running on the treadmill it makes me run like .10 or more LONGER then what the treadmill says. I guess you have to recalibrate it more often if you get faster? I need to add that to my list of things to do :)
