Whistles innocently...

I've not been around a lot; I gave up on the running thing.  The reason for that was because the shape I am and the weight I am made it really hard to get the good vibes and positive oomph from exercise that one is supposed to get.

So fast forward some months and I've been grumping to myself and sleeping badly and basically avoiding exercise at all costs. I was summoned to have a GP apppointment for medication review and basically after chatting away and everything being fine, it was suggested that I actually, you know get up off my butt and do something.

So I'm using my Wii fit. I'm aiming to do 40 minutes a day between now and when I head back to the GP in October.

I've managed pretty well this week with either walking outside or some Wii activity every day since the appointment and the important thing is that I am enjoying the activity that I'm doing. For instance, I'm doing a lot of the basic and simple yoga poses as a warm up before moving onto step/hula hoop/boxing as the aerobic mainstay and then some balance games to cool down.

I've been also pleased to track my bmi going in the right direction generally. Less so today, much wine last night meant that some of my good work had been undone.  However, I did my session today and will be continuing to do so as the days go by.
