Week 1 Wrapup

Okay, time for me to wrap up my thoughts on week one.

lets recap:

Week 1 Beginning Stats:
BMI: 37.47 - Obese
Weight: 267.6
Wii Fit Age: 36

Week 1 Ending Stats:
BMI: 37.31 - Obese
Weight: 266.5
Wii Fit Age: 29

Week 1 Workout Time Total: 2 hours 42 minutes
Change in BMI: -.16
Change in Weight: -1.1 pounds
Change in Wii Fit Age: -7 years

Overall Impressions: Week 1

My muscles are extremely sore, so the Wii Fit must be doing something. I can honestly feel that its working muscles.

I don't think the Wii Fit Age means anything. It seems to be all based on your balance and some unknown calculation.

I also see how it would be easy to trick the Wii balance board. Of course, as with any diet or exercise routine, they don't work if you don't do it. I really want to make this work.

I'm also pretty ashamed that I have let myself get to this point. I got complacent, and quit taking care of myself. I will change that.

I'm sleeping better at night as well. Don't know if its some effect of the exercise, or if I'm just tired. Mentally, I also feel better about myself. I know that there isn't any appreciable difference in my shape right now, but just knowing that I'm doing something to change my situation makes me feel good.

Another thing I've noticed, Yoga is hard LOL. I have a new found respect for anyone who can do Yoga. I'm also surprised at how much it stretches you out. It really is a good way to end the workout.

So far, I'm not bored with this yet. I honestly think this is the longest i've committed to an exercise routine.

Well that about wraps it up for this week. Weekends are going to be down days, let my muscles and things recoup. I'll continue to do my body test and update it daily, but thats all the workouts until monday.
