The last 3 weeks or so haven't been the best for me. I've been struggling with food, weight and motivation. I've either not had time, or not had the inclination when I had time, to post here, and I've been struggling to keep to the Primal diet. The trigger point was one afternoon at work, when I thought it would be okay to treat myself to a chocolate.
It's amazing how hard it was to stop doing that each day. It also made it rather difficult to eat the right things elsewhere, and my weight has suffered as a result. I've spent the last week or two hovering around 99kg, and not making any progress. This is because of a combination of slack diet (too many small treats here and there really add up...), and just not exercising enough.
However, just this weekend, I've had a breakthrough. I got a phone call from my parents last week, asking for help setting up my father's new toy. It seems Dad had been introduced to the Wii console, and the WiiFit system while he was visiting some relatives, and he thought it would be a good thing for him and Mum to get.
So, Saturday night, we went to Mum & Dad's and set up the Wii. Of course, we were obliged to have a go, just to make sure the thing worked, of course. Well, blow me down if it wasn't the most fun I've had exercising, ever. The Wii Sports games are a hoot, and it's surprising how quickly you can work up a sweat, especially playing the boxing.
Yesterday being a particularly poor day for weather, we decided another visit to the parents was in order. This time we tried out the WiiFit program as well. It's amazing how much of a workout you can get just doing fun games. The best bit is that I've still managed to lose weight, despite eating, not to put too fine a point on it, utter crap this weekend (pizza, chips, pudding, the list goes on...)
So, now the challenge is on. I've got two goals, keep up the progress using the WiiFit system at Mum and Dad's, and save up enough money to buy my own Wii, and a TV to connect it to...
