Weigh-In Wednesday #1

So today was the first real Weigh-In Wednesday but I'm not entirely sure of my results. I used my WiiFit to check my weight as I have yet to buy a real scale yet, and it came up about 193 pounds. Now the last time I used WiiFit to check my weight was the 10th of March and I came up about 190. So by those numbers I've gained three pounds (boooooooo!)
However, on the 15th of March I visited my doctor and was told that my weight was about 197 pounds. So by those numbers I've ...... lost four pounds?
Regardless, I plan to purchase a better scale than my WiiFit by my next Weigh-In Wednesday (two weeks from now) and will then have a more stable and reliable way to measure my results.

Today I did 20 minutes of Zumba using the "Express" DVD from my new kit. I'm happy to report I only paused it once and I actually did very well with picking up on the routines, which was nice. I actually had a lot of fun doing it today :-)

I've been trying to also focus on motivation lately. The healthier eating will come in time and is already becoming a part of my regular diet slowly but surely. But exercise.... as much as I really enjoy Zumba and walking around the lake, the motivation to get up and actually do it can be daunting. Sometimes binge watching Netflix or playing video games can be so enticing. So I've been trying to keep different things in mind to motivate me.
For one, I still have my size 8 jeans tucked away in my dresser and I dream of one day being able to put them back on. But more specifically, I know I need to be healthier. Heart related health problems run in my family. My mother died of heart related and blood pressure issues. Both of her parents died of heart attack and stroke. More family members have had heart attacks at early ages. I know I need to take better care of myself. I'm a stone's throw from 30 and I need to be in better shape.

So here goes!! Here's hoping for a better Weigh-In Wednesday in two weeks. That'll also be when I take new measurements! Thanks for continuing to tune in!

Later days...
