Andy has been doing a lot with the WiiFat lately-- using the aerobics thing where all you do is step on and off the board for a set period of time. He used it a couple of times earlier in the week while I was treadmilling and put it on for 30 minutes. He seemed to work up a good sweat and got like 3200 steps in. I decided last night to try that-- I was bored and crabby, which was a really new experience for me. Although I must admit that someone at work told me that I looked like I'd lost a lot of weight (only 6 pounds in all). I guess the evil elf babies have crawled out of my gut now. I think they only appear for pictures becasuse I'm pretty sure I don't look as bad as I do in that one photo. That WAS my favorite sweater, but now that i've burned it in effigy, maybe everything will be better....
So, I cranked up the Tom Petty and stepped on and off the board for a total of 40 minutes. It REALLY worked my calves. After all, it was more than 5000 steps in all. I'm not really sure of the total because I had to reset the board after 30.
Anyway, we went to run some errands afterwards, and I did a beautiful swan dive down the hill in the front lawn. Lots of neighbors were outside too! If only I'd stuck the landing! The look on Andy's face was priceless when I got up and said, "Well, that wasn't all that bad, was it." It was something between horrified and desperately trying to rein in the hysterical laughter.
No broken bones, but I am taking today off, since I'm a wee bit sore from the tumble. I have my meditation class tonight anyway.

Emms,
ReplyDeleteYou have the funniest posts! :) Sorry you took a tumble... in a humiliatingly public way. I am very much your sister in that regard. (No graceful moves here)! I'm in Germany now.... Ah... and I went for a 45 minute jog the other day. Because I'm so out of shape, though, it was probably only 3 miles or so. Oh, well! At least I got out. When I get back to lovely Mongolia, I will post a photo/blog entry. I love you! Lisa
