Success!

So after much thought and consideration, I ordered EA Sports Active 2 for Wii on Tuesday. It arrived via my favorite UPS guy today! I was like a child at Christmas-time (Ask me if I'm still excited after a week, that will be the test.) Thankfully, Thomas as asleep upfront, so I set up the Wii, the Active 2 game, and got to sweating. Seriously sweating.

I got everything set up, go to working. The circuit consisted of 22, yes 22, 1-2 minute exercises. I set it on the cardio version of the game and set out exercising. It all started off nicely, soon, I realized my fat, out of shape self could barely keep up. Okay, so yes we are talking about a cardio workout, but at my age I should be in a lot better shape than it. The game set up a 4 day exercise schedule. I exercise M, T, TH, F for about 20-25 minutes (It depends on the time it takes me to complete the exercise.) Honestly, after completing the circuit 26 minutes later I feel... sweaty, tired, but yet better. I forgot how great exercising makes you feel. I also realized that I am not a morning exerciser. Morning exercising makes me feel more tired and less energized. This makes sense to me since I am NOT an afternoon person: I'm usually nodding off, incoherent, and out of it. I realized a while back (In my college days when I was far less heavy) that I could combat my afternoon zombie-like behavior by exercising.

Okay, my goal: I stick to my workout program set by EA for the next week (we are going day-by-day at this point.)
