Oh fantastic..
Just need to work out how many hours I will be able to fit in without over or under estimating,mind you febs a pretty easy month to work out with it having 28 days lol
Plus I'm hopefully starting a couple of swimming or gym sessions a week after Monday,I'm going to see the beep practicioner on Monday,so hopefully tues or wed I should be doing that little bit more!
I'm just feeling really positive that things seem to be going in the right direction at the moment, I'm eating so much better,thanks to me doing the SW plan for the last 3 weeks,I'm walking at least 30mins a day,doing wii fit,a bit of zumba & hopefully like I said the gym or swimming (although I do hope it's the gym as I don't know if I feel confident enough to let strangers see me nearly naked)!! And the help on this forum has been absolutely invaluable to me,I've got so many fantastic tips!!

I think I'm gonna put myself down for 20 hrs, that works out 5 a week, which I think will be do-able, an hour a day. Weekends are a bit awkward for me to get on the wii, kids and hubby under my feet. Good luck on monday Shifty.

how long did it take you guys?? I seem to get 14 pretty easily and then i get stuck... theres one in that big cirlce cave on the map..but then theres 2 that looks like there in the cave but there not & i cant get them!xx

It took me about 10 days, but I kept forgetting the route! If you look back on this thread then Julie gave some good tips.

Well today I decided to rest my legs, but instead of doing nothing I did a 30 min Hard Upper body workout from EASA. My muscles are singing! I'd forgotten how much I enjoy the resistance band (I have blue) So I'm going to forget the 30 min shred that I was going to buy, and start a 30 day challenge.

Well done everyone, thanks for the tips with the running, I hadn't been doing too much of that because I was bored with the same, short route,but have got into it a bit more the last few days.
I don't know where the time went but I haven't updated since a week ago Wednesday. In the meantime, I got my new bike, a silver piggy and yesterday I FINALLY got all 20 ballons on the freecycle.
So I'm updating with 9 hours 40mins in the last 10 days, taking me to a total of 25 hours 5 mins.
To top it all, my non-scale victory yesterday was to go shopping for jeans and to be able to buy the next size down :bliss:.
and while shopping yesterday I picked up a used copy of Jillian Michaels Ultimatum 2009 to add some variety and also a new copy of the Zumba fitness which really got my heartrate up.

Yeah I already have the Cyberbike, its great fun but the pedalling is not hard at all. I attach weights to my ankles to get a proper workout as the pedals have no resistance whatsoever. I was meaning that I wished the Cyberbike worked with the WiiFit cycling course as it would be fab.
I want the new Zumba game too and the Michael Jackson Experience - gotta save, save, save for everything I need atm!!

Don't feel too guilty about not getting any Wii done today - I've not either and I think we both deserve a break You more so with your back and being pregnant!!!

Way to go hunnie I got my GOLD piggy ages ago and don't get any more new ones - boooo I wanna try to get my new bikes on there though, I've only unlocked advanced so far as I get bored with the cycling but I want to find all the flags since you girls have discussed it.

Could you let me know what the Zumba is like please if its the one for the Wii? Thanks hun xx
