Wow. Three weeks. Wow. World of Warcraft. Both take up the same amount of time. I must admit. I am fairly (READ - Fairly = Really) drunk atm. We went around to a freidns place for roast and wine. Much more of the later consumed than the former. Good for having drinks and laugh ans storeid ans watching funny youtube videos. Bad for playing Wii Fit. When I first read the little “warning” saying “Warning” you could fall off. I was a little scepitcal - ‘ah fall off a virtually falt oject that doesn’t move?’ This wan’t like the rodeo surfboard at the Work Sales Conference (Where coincidentally I was also drunk, but fell fo the moving thing a lot). This was at home on a flat surface. But apparently you can. Coincidentally while drunk.

I had every intention of doing a big session today - i had time, felt fine…. but then the screen became blurry, and as i don’t wear glasses nor contacts this worried me to the point I stopped. Although 27 minutes isn’t bad and I probably could have fit one more in, but better safe than sorry.

There was far too many cases where i got from a lying position (today was yoga yoga yoga) so a kneeling position and would just keep moving once I got up, hence falling the other way.

I also dropped pen while writing notes. While I was actually trying to concentrate on to holding it.

0.3kg away from starting rate. Fuck that.

I did a lot more aerobic exercises than the last couple of days, it felt good. I did the 10+minutes of hula hooping. Oh how I hurt.  I did step (and sucked) but got up a real good sweat which is the first big one in a while. I even did 2 mintues of jogging (and followed the dog, so went secret way!)

I know of someone who went off and purchased a Wii the other day, with the intention of getting Wii Fit (you know because her Gym membership isn’t enough wasted money spent on health – she doesn’t go after all).

Lent her some games, the little party ones, I don’t think that she’s up for the Zelda’s etc of the world. She barely has enough time in the day as it is.

Unfortunately Fortunately Unfor…  She couldn’t find one. Apparently as sold out as Mario Kart (wtf? That’s sold out too?) Well According to Rose Lappin of Nintendo Australia “If I had another 100,000 Mario Karts and another 100,000 Wii Fit there would be a lot more happier people than what we’ve got now as far as retailers go because trying to support catalogues, rainchecks even, since the launch has been difficult.” (Screen Play, SMH).

Now I don’t know if they mean worldwide or Australasia, but that’s a hell of a number to think you can sell. In fact, to think there are still people in America, who cannot get one because they cannot stay on shelves, is beyond belief for me – particularly 18 months down the track and particularly because I don’t think I would have to search that far to get one here in Australia.

I knew I’d get a shoddy one – but better than expected I suppose, considering. Who would have thought that 3 days of junk food and no exercise would have brought me back to my starting weight. Although I’m getting enough sleep – I still feel tired. Wiible (what I have now called the Wii Fit Balance Board) told me that “Most people who exercise feel tired because they don’t get enough vitamins – remember to eat fruit and drink plenty of water!” I’m not sure if water has any vitamins in it, and certainly none of it comes from the great Neverfail Dispenser at work. Hell I could probably make it accountable for why my teeth are crap.

But hey Wiible, bring the comments on!

It is a little freaky he knew I was tired though. (He?)

I’m also starting to get over this hideous virus/flu/whatever that I had – and feel much better today than I have in ages. Might actually do some exercise instead of the pathetic attempts at stretching I did yesterday. Really I have no problem giving myself some recovery time – but it didn’t even try yesterday (the sitting game – the step game?) I don’t really get much exercise or enjoyment out of the step game, but it really easily clocks up 5 minutes, unlike the running game which really difficultly clocks up 5 minutes.

But I don’t pass out for blissful sleep unless I have a workout that makes me want to collapse. I’m also not fining much desire to go above 30 minutes – plenty or reason to go under, not much incentive to go over. I mean I suppose one day I could make a crack at going for an hour and see if it goes *ding ding sing ding* You reached 1 hour!

Did the worse I’ve ever done in the balance (left to right pink bar thingy) test, but the best I’ve ever done in the agility one. Maybe the key word I was missing out on was AGILITY. I was always kind taking my time doing precise movements etc. Silly me.

I’ve been really sick. That’s now starting to sound cliche. I have never had a good immune system after having glandular fever in the first year of high school. It stuffed up my development and academic achievement, and I never really caught back up (I was at a selective school with Brainy kids, and being sick in your first year = no friends = hard time at school = hard work, whether or not your a couple of months behind everyone else)

I’m only just starting to get healthy - and two have 1 serious, one normal sickness since starting this program. Maybe its making me really sick.

My scores are bad - not as bad as I thought, but not good either.

I got 70 points for the advanced table tilt score, I’m pretty happy with that.

Also I bought a scooter today.

Might have to get myself a flu vaccination I swear.

For not the first nor last time I’m really ill. I haven’t been out of the house let alone doing exercise. Or even my age/weight/etc measurements. This is worse than the last time. However I’m also using this weekend to go eurovision crazy.

There are a couple of posts from last week that should go up, however now I’m really scared as even though I have been not eating a lot, what I have been eating is junk and would not make up for the lack or movement I’m doing.

Got my highest ever hula hoop score - Rocket fire, with 1773. I felt like I was having a seizsure by the end of it. I also finished the basic river thing - I could get all the way to the end, until that stupid jagged rock, on which i would promptlt pop. 2-3 tries a day for several days - and that jagged rock (the left one for those who were curious) jut was beyond my unbalanced feet.

Mainly I did all yoga today.

I have bumpy, hideously ugly, red arms. It’s something I’ve had since before high-school and even with all the creams, medications, exfoliation and sunlight or whatever in the world – it doesn’t look like something that’s ever going to disappear. But aside from that I’ve been relatively blessed with normal-ish skin (whatever that is). I’ve never had problems with mass breakouts, or acne, no skin conditions or eczema. I couldn’t tan to save my life, and will always curse my grandparents sporadic genes which not only skipped my parents, but myself as well, leaving it to my sister to show what glorious olive skin my genes are capable of. But there are far worse people in the world (that wart-tree man springs to mind)

But I’ve been finding bumps around my neckline and in the middle or my back. And they are raised and highly itchy. It could be my body trying to release more crap since I’m turning healthy. Or it could be that I’m turning into a highly contagious chicken-pox monster from the land of pollo-centria. I’ve had chicken pox, and I’ve been a monster, but my mum has had chicken pox twice, and just ask my sister or cat how many times I’ve been a monster, the world is not safe.

I made up for yesterday by…. well by doing 1 extra minute.  30 minutes is good for me - and if I kept it consistentantly? Well it might actually do some GOOD.

13th day - over two weeks. With only one tiny slip upish - so far.

This dedication to it, is hard.

I started down two very destructive paths yesterday.

1) I finished watching the opening mini-series for Battlestar Glactica. I can very much see myself watching these like a cat would watch a mouse (unless of course you are my cat – in which case you would be sleeping as a million mice throw a dance party on your back).

2) I didn’t do any wii fit exercises. I’ve been tired, I’ve been up really really way to late, and I’ve been sick – and none of that has stopped me doing them before. And when nothing was wrong … I didn’t do them.

I’d finished cooking dinner, doing the washing up, stressing over work, and watching the end of the mini-series for  battlestar galaxia, and yet, I got up to do it – and really didn’t want to. Not just a meh I’ll do it tomorrow and make up for lost time. And actual revulsion to doing it. It was cold – I was still in my work clothing and…. And it just wasn’t happening. I plan to do it this afternoon when I get home, but I am going out to dinner – and I wouldn’t be putting down money on me doing a lot – certainly not making up for lost time.

It doesn’t help that the ‘time’ that I set aside to do it – basically straight after I get home at 6 until about 7, is usually out of the question. Even though everyone knows that’s when I like to get on – someone always has to “just finish this” or “just check something quickly” worse is when they say after a few hours of me waiting “Oh I didn’t realise you wanted to go on right away.” Well yes. Yes you did. The only one who lets me go on –in peace – is Pip, who as soon as I walk in the door ignores me until I go to fill his food bowl, where he will purr loudly, rowl a bit as I’m obviously taking far too long for his liking, and then ignore me again once he starts eating. And he ignores me for the rest of the night. Unless a door is closed somewhere that is not to his liking.

Although to be fair he’ll actually sit on the chair which I put the wii remote on as I exercise. He sees them as his chairs. They are to his liking.

Also doesn’t help that I’ve had two weight ‘spikes’ in two days. Now I know this is partially because of the heavy clothes thing – and partially because the last two days I’ve had to weigh myself after dinner rather than before, but its making me really ponder whether this is doing any good. I don’t care about the weight – but I don’t feel stronger, healthier or even more balanced. I’ve stopped getting good sleep, and my shoulders  - even when I don’t do any exercise with them, hurt. To the point where I am constantly straining, stretching and doing whatever to them because they constantly irritate me. It could be that now I am constantly trying to sub-consciously correct my posture and after years of slouching are taking their toll - but I don’t think so.

Pip, bless his paws, is on a “eating plan” and that’s one too many in the house as far as I’m concerned. Although I did have a tiny portion for lunch today – and not even a heap of salad or anything. Although that’s balanced out by the mini chocolate tart I did have today. L But I blame the chef for saying that I HAD to have one. And you don’t mess with chefs.

Exercise? I think not. Bleh.
