Wii Diet

So Wes is 13 moths old and I can't really use the excuse of "just had a baby" as to my weight gain.  I only gained 25 pounds while pregnant so it's not a huge amount to lose but apparently I am not just going to lose the weight by wishing and hoping.
I am at the highest weight I have ever been (not including pregnancy) and I don't like it.  So I have decided to change it.
First, I am exercising using my Wii.  Lame, I know but I hate to exercise.  I HATE it, I loathe it, I detest it.  It's not really exercising but it is entertaining and I can change up what I do so it isn't repetitive.  I've started with Wii Fit, which is good because it weighs me daily and keeps track of how I'm doing.  I also have the Jenny McCarthy exercise game, which kills me but in a good way.  I have done a two weeks of exercising so far but I can feel it already.
Second, I am trying to watch what I eat.  I have never eaten breakfast but have tried to do so since starting this.  Not huge weekend-type breakfasts but oatmeal or boiled eggs.  I am also trying portion control, which is really hard for me.  I love food, I love to read about it, I love the smell of it and I love to anticipate and enjoy it.
Along with watching what I eat, I am watching my portions.  I used to be able to eat as much of anything that I wanted to but cannot anymore.  Smaller servings and less snacking, and it's horrible.
Hopefully, all of this will make a difference.  I hate to listen to people who complain about something but don't do anything to change it.  I am trying to change myself, better myself.

  1. Way to go! Loosing that baby weight sucks! But you'll do it. I swear my belly will never be the same again after having Logan. It's far more flabby than ever before...
