I finished the 30 Day Challenge on EA Active and am now starting another 30 Day Challenge. The rather cheap resistance band that came with it started to snap so I got a resistance tube but it’s a little awkward with the Wii Remote and stuff, so I think I’ll just have to buy a new resistance band.

My eating habits haven’t been real bad lately but they haven’t been real good either. I am still not drinking enough water. I think I might need to start keeping track of my water intake, start treating it as medicine or something to force myself to drink it. This Friday I plan to go shopping for food. I’ve set aside $50 for it with the plan to actually buy some damn fruit. And maybe some cottage cheese, although I only like that in small doses. I probably just had a craving today which is why I thought of it. I am torn on whether or not I should get some Slim Fast. The thing is, I really do not like eating breakfast these days. I figure a liquid meal might be easier to handle, and well, the chocolate shakes taste pretty damn good. But I hate buying diet food because then I always feel like people are like “mmmhmm, someone is trying to lose weight”. Which ok is sometimes true but they don’t need to know that!

OH MY GOD.

The easy workout makes you sweat! The next day I decided I should buy some workout clothes.

The difference, to me, between Wii Fit and EA Active is how with Active you go from one activity to the other, whereas with Fit you pick and choose what you want to do which detracts from the overall effect of the workout. It also allows the user to go easy on themselves. Lord knows left to my devices I would not have chosen to do three running drills in one session.

Tomorrow will be my day of rest (today should have been, but I didn’t feel like it) and I think I’ll pop in Wii Fit and do some yoga. See, Fit does have some benefits over Active, namely the yoga, balance games, and weight/BMI measuring.

The next part of my plan is to buy some fruit and force myself to eat it everyday. I like fruit, and I like water, I just can’t seem to eat it as much as I should.

At any rate! I have not been good to myself this past year, like at all. And I’m kind of tired of me being bad to me.

I want to grow my hair out, so I am being much nicer to it. I am back to using Garner Fructis shampoo and conditioner and my hair loooooooooooves it. Oh my lord do I love this stuff. It makes my hair all soft and fluffy and that makes me smile and giddy. Which is kind of sad. I haven’t used it in awhile and I couldn’t recall which version I had been using before, so I just picked the one for dry/damaged hair since I don’t need more volume, and the only other kind the store had was for hair that had been colored, which mine has not. So through process of elimination, dry/damaged it was! Fluffy hair.

Then there is my face. I need some new cleanser because the kind I’ve been using seems to not really work anymore…I probably had some hormonal shift or something. Anyway, I’m getting new product in sometime soon and I will let you know how that goes! Glee.

Then there is food! My biggest issue is buying food at work for lunch. When I stopped doing that for two weeks in December I went down a pant size. Clearly, the food at work is not good for the stomach. But I get so hungry ;-;

So now I am forcing myself to make a sandwich the night before work, as well as eating something for breakfast. This will help me save money, too! But I am also thinking I need a food journal because if I have to write down everything I put in my mouth, I will be less likely to snack.
