Wii Fit and Getting Back on Track

The past few days have been kind of chaotic on the whole plan.  I haven't been exercising.  I was downing orange soda like it was water.  I was under a lot of stress.  Of course, I give myself plenty of excuses, but now it's time to get back on track.

Today I was good.  I had soda, but I only had lemon-lime sodas, which have no caffeine.  We've gotten our hands on a Wii Fit Plus, so I've been playing with that for a bit.  I haven't gotten to do much with it, but I'm hoping to start really working with it tomorrow.  Like I've written before, the goal is an hour of exercise every day in some form or another.  I think with the Wii Fit, I can possibly attain that goal.  It's fun!

I may not be there yet, but I'm getting back on track.  I'm looking forward to the yoga and strength training portion of this program.  It's something that could do me a lot of good.  I need to be in shape again and get my energy back.  I need to do this, not just for me, but for my kids.  It will help them as they'll see an improvement in my energy levels, and I'll be modeling good behavior for them.  They'll be seeing a fit and healthy mom, which is what they need.

What I like best about the Wii Fit is that there's a meditation portion under the balance games.  It's nothing fancy or flashy.  However, it does hold it's own challenges and it's calming.  The idea is to sit quietly and not move on the board.  If you move, it will cause the flame to flicker.  If the flame flickers too much, you're done.  They throw in a host of distractions to try and catch your attention.  Personally, I like it because I can clear my mind and just focus on the candle.  It's a moment to clear my mind with a focal point.

Anyhow, I think I'm on my way to improving my lifestyle with this.  Hopefully this will be one of many changes towards a better life.  Along with this is the benefit of healthier activity levels, I'm also well on my way to kicking the caffeine habit.  I resisted the urge to buy more soda today at the store, only juice!  I'm already on my way to a more positive and healthy lifestyle!
