This week I have an interesting update and discuss how the Modern Mom Challenge is not just about "dieting" for a finite period of time but really about changing my lifestyle.
Renee you are so cutein all of your vlogs! That's exactely what it's all about-don't diet...change your lifestyle. I changed everything about how I ate after my first kid was born 17 years ago!
Thanks for the update. I am so excited that you are getting your wii this week! The wii fit is definitely a must. Do not even bother with the fitness test on wii sports. 2 words I live by = PORTION CONTROL! I don't have a super duper healthy lifestyle, but I do exercise portion control (usually). I don't subscribe to that old school philosophy of "you have to eat everything on your plate and you shouldn't waste food." That way of thinking is for our grandmas and no starving children around the world will be privvy to the food whether we eat it or not. Donate to charity if you're concerned about starvation, but don't overeat. That's my motto. Thanks for inspiring us to live a healthy lifestyle...yet another reason why you are in my Fave 5! http://joanofalltrades.blogspot.com/2009/01/motivational-monday-whos-in-your-fave-5.html
We just got a Wii this weekend and hope to get the Fit sometime this week. If we can find one. I've also heard great things and I am excited to get started with it!
on christmas i was at my friend's parents house with him, and someone over there had a Wii. it was the funniest thing in the world watching his mom kick butt with that boxing game! it'll certainly give you a work out if that's what you're going for. she was worn out afterwards.
Congrats on your hard work with the challenge! As for the Wii...my b.i.l and s.i.l are stressed out attorneys and they box each other on the wii every night to relieve it!
Glad to hear that things are going well for you. Its all a learning process and you are right, it really is all about changing your lifestyle, which doesn't mean that you have to completely give up the things that you love... just limit them.
I can't wait to be there to witness you reach your goals =)
