I'm thrilled to say I'ce worked out every day for over 9 weeks on the Wii without missing a day.

And I imagine cooler days of autumn will eventually find there way!]]> http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/working-through-the-heat/feed 0 http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/live-from-the-light-of-your-greatness http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/live-from-the-light-of-your-greatness#comments Sat, 21 Aug 2010 14:04:08 +0000 THESTORYLADY's SparkPeople Blog tag:www.sparkpeople.com://0e4b14143e3e5b26583a7b17edb6100a (I wrote this poem for my coaching clients and for you, who has so much greatness to share.


Why are you hiding your greatness?
Why covet your gifts in the dark?
Your talents and skills are for sharing
your distinctive, special spark.

You are unique in all the world
with important work to do.
Desire and longing fill you
To show you the path to choose.

The passion that rouses your soul
As it sets ...]]> http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/working-through-the-heat/feed 0 http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/surprised-at-the-milestones http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/surprised-at-the-milestones#comments Tue, 03 Aug 2010 15:16:52 +0000 THESTORYLADY's SparkPeople Blog tag:www.sparkpeople.com://99f4afc6fedd70557b731ac1dea5efb7
There are times when I am totally annoyed at how slow the progress comes adn how low the ROI compared to the time and effort (I mean, let's face it, I'm giving almost 1/12 of my day to health in one way or another), it fee...]]> http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/working-through-the-heat/feed 0 http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/annoyed-today-looking-for-the-roi http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/annoyed-today-looking-for-the-roi#comments Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:50:52 +0000 THESTORYLADY's SparkPeople Blog tag:www.sparkpeople.com://aa8480e7269522b6098954ed08941d71
Yeah yeah yeah I know. It's not ALL about the scale.

Yes, I do notice good things happening, such as:
* overall increase in strength
* increased endurance
* some shrinkage of various body parts.

Though the scale is trending downward, the trend is sl...]]> http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/working-through-the-heat/feed 0 http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/wondering-whether-to-get-the-wiifit-30-for-30-my-review-of-the-wii-and-wiifit-plus http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/wondering-whether-to-get-the-wiifit-30-for-30-my-review-of-the-wii-and-wiifit-plus#comments Wed, 14 Jul 2010 16:03:27 +0000 THESTORYLADY's SparkPeople Blog tag:www.sparkpeople.com://2a5f6836a5ad3f75b7850be347b0a1ab Fitness is FUN at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've used the WiiFit every day for 33 days, at least 30 minutes and have logged over 20 hours in total.

I finally found my motivation for fitness with the Wii, because there are games and challenges.Sure, now I'm walking 10K steps a day and sometimes I hop onto the Gazelle (except the room's too hot during the summer). I LOVE to jump on the rebounder and bounce on the ball, but lets face it ... day after day you want some variety....]]> http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/working-through-the-heat/feed 0 http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/how-do-i-log-calories-for-steps http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/how-do-i-log-calories-for-steps#comments Wed, 14 Jul 2010 05:15:32 +0000 THESTORYLADY's SparkPeople Blog tag:www.sparkpeople.com://499bc7609975fc6cd780863360cba595
It says: "Please note that the steps you log here will not be counted towards your calories burned goal. If they are part of your daily exercise, you'll need to log that entry seperately in the cardio (or mileage) tracker."

But after searching and searching all over, I can't find out exactly HOW. Any help?

Now, if you don't know me, this will not shock you, but I am a confirmed exercise hater. I realize that what I hate is routine and doing stuff "cause ya gotta."

I have an ice cream maker, and I wanted ice cream ... so I decided to pour the smoothie into the ice cream freezer. 20 minutes later I had an enormous serving (8 ounces) of a frozen treat that satisfied me. WAY more than the typical serving of ice cream and definitely guiltless. So now, any time I ...]]> http://shrinkwithme.com/get-healthy1/working-through-the-heat/feed 0
