okay. wii twice for 20 minutes each, plus 20 minute zumba for beginners dvd.
what i've learned? my hips just don't move like that! =). but i'll keep trying, cause it felt good. you know, in between my running, my cardio boxing, and (hopefully) the yoga i'm readding cause i miss it.

wow, apparently the gold's gym dance game is massively popular. it was sold out almost everywhere. but, anyway, i got it. downsides... it is massively different than the gold's gym game i already had, which eliminates most of what i liked about it. and, the tutorials are very very short, when they even give them to you... so as a massively uncoordinated person, it reminded me a lot of trying to do "sweating to the oldies"... my arms mostly moved right, but i have no clue what my feet were doing. they were moving though, so i guess that's a plus.
the upsides... the calorie counter seems good. my bodybugg registered around 141 in 18 minutes. the game gave me credit for 144. it was a very very fast 18 minutes. so while the game does expect a daily 2 week commitment (the longest program they have... i assume you start over every 2 weeks) which is more than i really like giving a video game, with all my other workouts already, 20 minutes a day for 2 weeks is amazingly handle-able. and the music was decent. i can't say much about the graphics at this point... i was FAR too focused on my feet not doing what they were supposed to.
it's not going to make me a dancer, by any means. i'll probably do better using my zumba videos for that. but it was an ultimately pleasant way to spend a mini-workout.
oh, another plus... about halfway through, they have you stop and check your pulse, and then show you how you stack up on a chart. nice feature for a video game. actually better than the heart rate monitor on my treadmill which tells me constantly that my towel has a heart rate of 68, and i'm usually somewhere around 20. =).

c25k, week 5, day 2. 2.05 miles, 35 minutes.
umm... every other week so far, all 3 days have been the same, with a gradual increase at the start of each week.
so, since day 1 was 3 five minute jogs, i started out with a faster pace than i did on day 1, like i normally do each week.
i did NOT pay attention to the fact that week 5 decides to differ from the rest of the program. day 2 of this week is apparently 2 eight minute jogs. (day 3 is 1 twenty minute jog, btw.) so, between the fact that its gone from 40 to 75 outside overnight, and the fact that i was completely unprepared... i more or less felt like i was dying by the end. however, i *DID* finish it. there were a few 30 second windows where my jogging was actually a little slower than my fastest walking, but for the most part, the first jog was ALL 4.2 mph, and the second jog was 4.0 except for the little breaks i mentioned 2 or 3 times.
not sure what sunday and day 3 are going to bring yet. i have proven to myself i can do 15 minutes at 4.0, but 20 just seems daunting for some reason. go figure. =)
btw, treadmill in bedroom WAY better than treadmill in living room was. so thats a plus.

Hah! It required removing the consul (which will now have to be put back on), the bedroom door, a little paint (and drywall) from a few doorways, and a couple layers of varnish from my floor... but the treadmill has finally made it into my bedroom! This should hopefully mean more successful workouts, as the baby will be less likely to hear it and end his nap early. (Bedrooms being the two furthest apart rooms in the entire apartment.)
Hopefully I'll be testing this in about an hour.
And on the plus side, the kid loves the box from the treadmill mat.

Okay, outside of the whole busy mom forgetting to eat until the baby's in bed and falling back into that habit of eating only at night (when i make horrible choices) issue that i am actively working on, i've come up with one more theory why i have worked my ass off and MOSTLY eaten well for the last 6 months and stayed the EXACT same 5 pound range.
the first 60 pounds (okay, i put 10 back on right around my son's birthday, but since then i've stayed the exact same 5 pound range) - i was working out, eating well, losing the post-partum baby weight, and my body was basically rebounding. AND i was breastfeeding my child. at a year old, his doctor insisted i start him on cows milk (for absolutely no medical reason, he was exactly where he should be weight/height wise... but simply because that's the accepted medical practice)... and i tried to replace one feeding a day with a cup of milk. my son had other ideas, and quit nursing all together. (that caused the depression that resulted in the 10 pounds...)
i am, and have been, since my son was born, on the depo shot. i have decided that once the hormones that the breast feeding was causing disappeared, i got the depo curse. because i absolutely KNOW that on a daily basis, i am eating less than i am putting out. (btw, my body shape is changing...i look a lot better in the face than i did 6 months ago, and i'm fairly sure there's more muscle than there was... but muscle gain does not account for a 6 month stall... and no, my waist is not noticbly smaller after the last 6 months... although apparently my butt is, as the yoga pants i just bought a month ago are now baggy on my butt!) so now i'm struggling with... i don't have adult relations with my son's father, and obviously i don't have them with anyone else either... so maybe i should just stop. give my body a few months to level out. see if that helps. see if it's just a depo myth, or if the medical stuff i've read is based in actual fact.
of course, i think it's like 6 weeks until i'm supposed to schedule my next shot, so there's not much i can do about it today, except get up tomorrow and give it my best yet again.
