Dusted it Off

 

My ex husband gave me a Wii and The Biggest Loser for Christmas as we were separating. I still joke that it was my parting gift because I had wanted it for a while and he didn't want one in the house. 

This game was part of what kept me sane during my divorce. It helped me channel myself to something healthy and positive. Through the following years, I went back to it here and there remembering how much I liked it. 

About a month ago, I tried to play it again, but the two controllers I changed the batteries in didn't work. There was one more I could have tried but didn't because I assumed something was wrong with the console. Last week, Sean changed the batteries in the one last controller. It works! 

Yesterday, I decided to workout with The Biggest Loser. I did an hour of kickboxing. It felt so good! It was hard enough to make me sweat and give me a challenge but easy enough that I didn't want to quit. By the end, I had more energy and knew I wanted to keep up with this program. 

I am now committed to The Biggest Loser workouts 3 times a week for my cardio. I am so excited to be adding this to my routine. 

BurpeeGirl Workouts

 

When looking for a low impact workout on YouTube, I found BurpeeGirl. After one workout, I liked it so much that I subscribed to her channel and now do one of her workouts at least once a week. Last night, I did a metabolic boost with her. It was the hardest workout I have done in a long time and felt great. I was grunting, sweating, and working hard. As I become more consistent in my workouts, I am hoping to workout with her videos more often and hoping to find more that make me sweat as much as I did last night. I will reach my goal weight this year. I am hoping she helps take me there.
