Something To Say
I'm not much on resolutions.
I tend to avoid 'em. I have posted before about the fact that the DG & I bought a Wii Fit Plus deally-bobber.
We bought the Nintendo (computer game world famous, renown, yadda, yadda & yadda) after Christmas. Evidently this particular machine and the board thingy that goes with it has become EXCEEDINGLY popular. Like, you cannot find it in stores anymore. Golly, were we ahead of a trend? Hmm, weird.
Anyway, I have been using the Wii Fit each and every day since New Years. When out of town, I've been using somebody else's Wii Fit Plus machine. The reason for this fitness fixation, without subjecting you to reading a bunch of other posts, is fat. I quit smoking in late September or early October and began an eating campaign.
I think that the technical term is oral craving. Sounds dirty but is not. I just went through a period of time, well, I'm still going through the time when I want to EAT EVERYTHING I see. I want to eat ALL THE TIME.
This fixation resulted in a 20 pound weight gain. Dammit.
The 20 or 25 pound weight gain resulted in my trousers not wanting to button around my middle. Dammit.
I am entirely unwilling to buy an entire new wardrobe to accommodate the fat belly babies who have taken up residence around my torso. The news flash for today -
My trouser buttons fasten. I have not lost a pound, but apparently the every day exercise is having an effect. The explanation - that muscle weighs twice what the same volume of fat does - makes sense. The high falutin' term is tone. I'm getting some muscle tone.
So, I'm keeping my fitness fixation. I will not buy a new wardrobe and I will modify my food intake. I am not eating less, in fact I'm eating more. Fruit, veggies and fiber. Course, I'm doing something else regular too. More tomorrow.
