review of the week

i knew it was going to be impossible to keep up on posts. work is winding up and down as are other commitments. my eating has improved greatly this week and i only hope to keep it up. that is not to say i didn't enjoy some "naughty" items but i had the exact or less of the recommended serving and worked myself out of eating anymore then i should. so i indulged without pigging out. i made an effort to keep my afternoon snack a piece of fruit, more mainly an apple with a large glass of water to wash it down. water intake is great at work but a little harder at home hoping to improve on that some more as well. still doing well with lunch/dinner portions and making sure i am getting lots of veggies on the plate. also being mindful of how fast/slow i am eating which may also help cut out extra calories.

workouts were tough to get to the gym with this week but made sure i did something everyday. used mostly my wii games(ea active and wii coach) but relied on videos at times as well.

sat-19 minutes of sport/lunge drills with ea active,20 min upper body add-on from cathe's basic step, and cathe's total body stretch- segment #1

sun-all boxing segments from ea active in the afternoon. i had lots of errands to run sunday morning but i didn't mindlessly munch while i was out and about. kept a bottle of water and smoothie of all fruit nearby.

mon-15 min upper body with wii coach and michelle dozios best body circuit(pm)20 min easy circuit on ea active. this has lower,upper, and track cardio and i think some boxing i don't recall. it was one of their preset workouts.

tues-30 min cardio wii coach(pm)18 min of legs and lung(another preset workout)on ea active,ball stretch segment of cathe's stretch max

weds-1/2 of christi taylors stepping zone(had trouble the 2nd half so stopped),30 min of cardio on wii coach, then amy bento's ten minute solution tone trouble zone's abs and stretch workouts(pm)30 min intervals on stair stepper at the gym, 20 min sports drills on ea active and yoga for ubran living-pm segment before bed.

thurs-15 min yoga with wii coach(pm)sports drills on ea active-same preset workout as weds

fri-am rest(pm)15 min upper body with wii coach

sat-karen voight's firm arms and abs(wasn't impressed just drug on this morning i prefer her total body workouts)27 min cardio/sports/upper body circuit i made up on ea active. it was a mix of boxing,track drills mixed with some upper body for back and shoulders then to cool it down did some volleyball and tennis drills.

trying to sell some workouts on craigslist and it hasn't bitten so i am going to reorganzie. i was trying to sell them as a lot with a set price but maybe i should try indiviudally instead and give a price break to anybody that may want multiples. i am very much enjoying my wii games as part of my workouts so some more workouts have to make the cut. its a hard decision to make b/c i love my workouts but my gym workouts and game workouts are giving me results while the dvds are being neglected. i won't be too hasty in that amy and cathe DO stay and that is that! as well as most of my yoga and pilates but others can slowly be let go. i know i can do it LOL.
