I have gone over and i have splurged but this is a process i have to ease my way into and if 2 pounds is what i get for right now then damnit im going to take it. No one can get me off this cloud!

Just Dance

Well i must say Just Dance 1 and 2, and The Michael Jackson experiance are...HARD! not for the sake that i was sweating my rear off but because i didnt know most of the dances. Basic concept there is a person on the screen...you have to basically pretend that is you and mirror what it does. If your unfamiliar with a songs dance then you pretty much stand there going WHAT!? The nice thing is if you dont know it just watch it...that way you have a bit of notice if you try it again. If you dont do the dance it wont restart or anything like that it just keeps going. I did really well with Thriller, and Annie are you ok? but then again when your a huge music fan and youve seen the videos over and over and over again its to be expected you have the basic knowlege of the dances.

But anyway for an hour of trying to dance and then getting it i did work up a sweat. Still fighting with my knee so im not doing any of the jumping or anything that would cause it more pain...definately need to get a knee brace but thats just not in the budget so i will do what i must! Anyway so yea i definately recommend Just Dance 1 and 2 and The Michael Jackson Experiance for moving your body! There is even an option that says Just Sweat i havent tried that since im trying to learn the dances first lol.

I will keep yall updated with more info on the games as i get used to them!

Sorry!!!

Im terribly sorry i havent updated. To be honest ive been very busy with work and usualy by the time i get off im just exausted. Which is not an excuse. But i will admit excersise has been limited. Ive recently discovered my knee has some kind of issue and has caused me some pain walking up the steps. What do i blame this on...honestly my weight. I usualy watch tv in the evening and do leg lifts or some kind of floor exercise so i do not injure my knee further.

I recently purchased Just dance 1 and 2 for wii and The Michael Jackson Experiance! Im kind of excited to start trying these as i will have to get off my butt and work it! Im a huge fan of dancing...i may not be a great dancer but it is something that i like to do and works up a great sweat!

Calorie counting is proving to be easier by the day. I have a journal i keep in my purse so i can right down everything i eat and the calories its very helpful. Im a huge fan of the equate strawberries and cream weightloss drinks in the morning. I dont have alot of time to make breakfast in the morning as it is a mad dash out of the door to get to work so i just grab a shake and go with it. Ive also discovered some of these slim fast snack bars that are 100 calories are a great treat! This week has been a combination of fish, veggies and beans all week. Needless to say great protein but bad smell lol.

Now im not a huge watcher of Oprah but yesterday she had an episode about vegans. Some of the food was intreguing, and some of the people had lost weight within a week of trying this diet...Granted i love my cheese, milk, meats, poultry things like that but they were showing alternatives. I may actually try some and let you know how it works out!

Until next time :)
