Hello everyone!
Work is still sucking. I finally made $100 today though...not sure what's going on...business has NEVER been this bad before.
Anyways, on a positive note, I've become WAY more active. I have 3 dogs and I take one of them to the park every morning to get in a good, fun exercise...plus I get to play with them and bond with them 1-on-1 which is a different experience than when they are all together fighting for my attention... =)
Tomorrow, I'm going to begin training the puppies while I'm at the park...so that should burn some calories...I wonder how to log that? Does anybody know? I was also wondering how to log playing fetch with my dogs...because throwing has to burn calories...and then there's all that bending over and standing back up and crouching down trying to get your dog to come back with the ball...hmmm...
I'm still waiting on my Wii Fit to get here and my Tae Bo tapes...in the meantime, I'm just going to the park for an hour or so each day and walking up hills beside creeks and lakes and such. It is SO much fun and so relaxing for me...I'm done with walking on the treadmill (unless it's raining)...
Well, I'm proud of myself for finally becoming active and finding something that I truly enjoy...it was a beautiful day today and I hope tomorrow is the same...
Xoxo

I would count it as lite activity, at at least! :) Good luck!

I love the puppy pics. I have three myself (2 boxers and an American bulldog) and yes they do fight for attention unless yo get them one on one. I think bulltrouble was right that marking your time down as "light activity" should work.
As far as your Wii fit, if you don't want to wait for it, remember that you still have the Wii Sports that came with the system. I don't know if you've tried boxing yet, but truthfully, you will wear yourself out in twenty minutes if you play that.

I don't have anything yet...it's in the mail on the way 2 me... =)
Boxers are such beautiful dogs! My pits look alot like American Bull dogs...that's what I usually have to write down on my lease so people will rent to me...

My daughter has a pit. It is the biggest wimp you ever met. You can't help but love her, but when people hear the word "pitbull' the automatically shift gears. It's funny because I remember the same irrational fear of dobermans and rottweilers. It seems that the public needs to fear certain breeds from time to time. In a couple years they will see that these dogs are as harmless as any other breed.
Yours look great though. As far as your wii fit, when it comes, you'll love it. I don't use that program yet (i was too heavy until recently to use the balance board). But like I said, you can box and work up a pretty good sweat using the WII sports game that comes with the core system.

Thanks alot! I'm looking forward to getting it. Pits are some of the best dogs out there. All of mine are sweet, loving, and loyal. They aren't mean at all but are very protective of me...which any dog would be of its owner....I feel bad having to lie about my pits but they are so misunderstood.
