Wii-Wii-Wii all the way home

I keep fighting the same stupid 2 pounds over and over and over again. 

I carefully select and journal my food. 
I have added in "biking" for an hour along with housework (you burn calories doing your chores, right?!)

I think my body is protesting.

However, in the spirit of continuing what I have started I added something new to my morning workout!

  
This is called "Duel Slicing"--using your wii remote, you slice stuff up in various angles.  You compete against another player to see who can slice stuff (wood, eggs, diamonds, vases, sushi, etc.) the fastest and at the right angles.  I literally played this for 30 minutes because I was winning and it was fun!  About halfway through, I noticed my biceps were beginning to throb a little.  I was holding my arms up, flexed, and when I would "slice" I would put resistance on my muscles to swing the remote to slice fast. 

After slicing, I put in my Active Personal Trainer game.  Here I used my favorite Punching Bags and Targets portion.  The game puts resistance in your remote along with the resistance you add to your own muscles to punch hard enough to move the bags and bust the targets.  SUPER fun!!! This gets out calories, sweat, and any pent up aggression you may have. :)

So, if you have a game console just sitting there unused, think about the games you may have and REALLY play those games.  Add your own spin on them to make the difference (do squats when bowling, add resistance to your muscles when you throw the ball, etc.)
