Day 166 - Not Good

Kenneth Monty — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 14:00:17 +0100

Hi,

Day is not good today so canceled the exercise this morning. Not much sleep last night and very dizzy this morning. My weight did go down quite a bit and I think it's due to the fact I did not eat a lot yesterday since I was so dizzy. Very short blog.

BMI 26.55, weight 196, age 31, no fitness.

Will try WIO later... Blessings - Kenny

Day 165 - What! No snow?

Kenneth Monty — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 13:42:28 +0100

Good morning all,

Woke up to clear skies and no new snow, weird. The wife has a vampire appt. this morning so I have a short exercise program and will try to get a bit more in this afternoon. Had a good food day yesterday until the pizza hit the pan, then I overindulged and the sin was exposed as I stepped on the board this morning. I think the salt content is as much the culprit as the calorie content. I really want to get down to 180 lbs before April as I willRead More...

Day 164 - Still on track

Kenneth Monty — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 15:54:12 +0100

Mornin all,

Wow! what a night! wind blew the snow and ice so hard against the windows I thought they would break, had a real cuddly cat anyways. Don't know what time I finally got to sleep but it was late, surprisingly woke up feeling pretty good and got right on the Wii board for a good workout, then went out and shoveled out the car and the patio for a few extra calories burned.

BMI 26.70, weight 197.1, age 36, fitness time Wii 53 minutes for 216 calories and WIO 6Read More...

Day - 163 - Again?

Kenneth Monty — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 15:04:15 +0100

Good morning,

According to the Wii (which is a machine and therefore incapable of error) this is still day 163. :) OK I'm good with that. Got up this morning to nice fluffy snow drifts that required the application of an idiot stick to remove from the general location of my transportation, so I got a bit of extra activity. Came back in and decided I would do the Wii and did. A bit of a struggle but I did it and feel better for it.

Good news is I did get aRead More...

Day 163 - I did it!

Kenneth Monty — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 15:19:15 +0100

Hi!

I got back on the board, dizzy and all. Invented some fancy new steps during those exercises that required balancing but I got through them and I'll be darned if I'm going to let a little topsy-turvy world get to me. I will work something out even if it's exercising only every other day. I will see how the day goes today and go from there tomorrow.

I did the full Wii/WIO routine and was surprised to see that I could. The past several months has evidenRead More...

Day 160 - Sad

Kenneth Monty — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 14:05:43 +0100

Mornin'

Yup I'm sad, I ended the week with a gain of .8 lbs for a weight of 198.4 lbs and a BMI 26.86. I am also suffering from some prescription drug side affects and re-occurring symptoms of my illness which has prevented me from exercising these past three days. I am in a search for a new Dr. and hopefully will get this straightened out soon. In the meantime I am only able to exercise very little as I am very dizzy and unbalanced.

On an up side the wife's eyRead More...

Day 157 - Will be absent tomorrow - Dr.

Kenneth Monty — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 14:14:16 +0100

Good Morining,

Snow is slowly drifting out of the sky in a Hallmark moment, really kind of nice. Got a lot of the house stuff done yesterday and will finish up today. Will be shopping for a recliner tomorrow when we go to the Dr. St. Vinnies Boutique in Portage has several and since we can't afford a new one we will go take a look. My bionic wife is very particular as to what kind of recliner she can tolerate. Believe it or not most new recliners are not tRead More...

Day 156 - Busy day

Kenneth Monty — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 14:31:02 +0100

Howdy,

Really worked out yesterday, not just out at the Wii but rearranged the house. Moved my computer desk and hutch from the living room to the bedroom and that thing is heavy and it was loaded with stuff, wires, printers, modems, routers, books, etc.. Also moved some heavy old chairs and today have to clean the rug and walls and set up the new arrangement, removing all the old cabling for the internet TV. Hungry yet? I was and yes I did overeat a bit and theRead More...

Day 155 - Yea Packers, Sorry Jets

Kenneth Monty — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 14:24:46 +0100

Morn' all,

I kinda blew it yesterday. Had a big breakfast, big lunch. popcorn during game, big sandwich and desert for the evening meal and all this showed up on the Wii this morning. Plus I am really struggling with some health and sleep issues which makes sticking to the program a bit of a challenge at times. Many a morning I wake up and say to heck with it and then have to stiffen my resolve, get up and go for it. I already know what the alternative is since Read More...

Day 154 - Weeks cap

Kenneth Monty — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 12:37:21 +0100

Good morning,

Week ended well after all. Starting BMI 26.93 - ending BMI 26.76, Starting weight 198.9 - ending weight 197.6. And on we go to the next week. The wife and I do have a Dr. trip to make next week, means eating out, so we'll see.

Big football game today, far too much hype over a game for my taste. May the games be clean, without injury and may the best team win.

By the way 16 below F out this morning. Brrr. These old bones are compRead More...

Day 153 - A balmy +4 F

Kenneth Monty — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 13:50:26 +0100

Good Morning,

Kind of disappointing this morning when I stepped on the board and discovered a gain. I can't explain it as my food was good and I have been faithful in my exercising, if fact, I had a bit extra yesterday as I cleaned house. Salt was minimal so I guess I'll have to chalk this one up. Looks like I'll be ending the week with a gain and I absolutely hate that. I had hoped I could get permanently below 200 by the end of the month but it looks unreasonaRead More...

Day 152 - Good Morninggg Canada!!! 16 below and counting...

Kenneth Monty — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 14:14:26 +0100

GGGGgoooodddd MMMooorrrnnnniinnnggg,

Well the jury is in and the WIO off the balance board is out. My legs are not up to it, that's for sure. Not much sleep last night. Pretty good day yesterday otherwise, food was OK other than I got into the bread a bit. All in all an uneventful day.

Day 151 - It's Cold, OK, I'm a wuss ;)

Kenneth Monty — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 15:47:03 +0100

Howdy all,

Something new today. I did the WIO off the balance board and the jury is still out on that one. I have to admit that the freedom is nice and the aerobic workout is better but the island environment is more difficult to control and the steps do not always count properly. I was also doing it in my socks on the living room rug and maybe I should put my shoes on and go on the kitchen floor to take some of the impact out. All in all a nice workout, just a Read More...

Day 150 - Brrrr 4 degrees F

Kenneth Monty — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 13:40:35 +0100

Mornin,

WOW! Thanks for the Walk It Out Links, everything I wanted to know and then some. Jessica put a lot of work into that help. When I was doing that I did some other research out of curiosity and found that there are sites that have cheats for Wii Fit. One of the cheats is how to jog while sitting in your easy chair, WHAT! For the life of me I will never figure why some would want to cheat on a fitness program, especially one that is done in the privacy in Read More...

Day 149 - Not to bad!

Kenneth Monty — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 13:49:53 +0100

Good Morning,

The exercise did not go too bad and I got a good nights rest with little leg pain above the normal so I think I am on the mend. Did not get as much snow as predicted and that was more good news. Food was really good good yesterday and that was good. Why I believe I had a good day! I do need to do some research on the WIO program as it keeps coming up with new stuff that I have no idea what it's talking about. Now it's talking about capsules aRead More...

Day 148 - Guess what? Funny white stuff fallin outta sky...

Kenneth Monty — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 13:51:08 +0100

Mornin all,

Well, I had a baaad day, food was OK but I got into the nuts, guess I love em 'cause I'm one of em. Anyways the salt does me in and the Wii is a machine and cannot lie so big weight gain that I expect will go away over the week. Still disappointing.

Anyway the Packers won and the Jets won so all is well, right - RIGHT.

Day 147 - More funny white stuff on the way

Kenneth Monty — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 14:51:38 +0100

'Lo everybody,

Today is Sunday and the week's recap. For not being able to exercise I did very well and it's a bit scary. I actually pegged a loss of 4 pounds and close the week at a record 198.9 pounds and 26.93 BMI. That's nearly 40 pound lost since I started with the Wii Fit and 50 pounds overall. My average Wii age is around 35 and that's not too bad for a 69 year old who was an invalid just 5 months ago.

Not going to make it out to church today sinceRead More...

Day 146 - Another fresh blanket of snow

Kenneth Monty — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 14:25:24 +0100

Good morning all,

5 inches of the stuff gave me a little workout this morning and another 5 inches expected Monday and then Brrrr,. Food was good yesterday but I went up just a bit, lack of exercise does make a big difference. Our Packers play today so the evening is planned. Doing the wash for extra credit and that's all the excitement around here.

My legs are not that much improved and I am starting to be a little concerned. If you are so inclined and tRead More...

Day 145 - Ummm, daughter one good cook.

Kenneth Monty — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 13:17:07 +0100

Good morning all,

Yummy homemade cream of asparagus soup for lunch and I had only one bowl and did not take any home even though it was offered, talk about a supreme sacrifice! Good to see NotThePest back. My legs feel a bit better today but I am not going to tempt pain and get on the board just yet. I am planning on Monday. Fresh blanket of snow and all is bright and white and new looking. The wife is still recuperating from the eye surgery and thatRead More...

Day 144 - Found Some of that loss

Kenneth Monty — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 12:37:58 +0100

Hi,

Yup, found some of that big loss, of course had to eat out twice yesterday and, of course, I ate the whole thing. The dear wife brought half home and lost, go figure. The Dr. news was not the best but not the worst. My medications were adjusted and he said I should be back on the board within a week, he did not like it at all that I could not exercise and if this adjustment does not work I will be going through a whole new therapy, not something I look forward tooRead More...
