So up until last week I was on schedule for finishing Chapter 1 of my book doing one page a week. However, a lot of things came up between last week and this one, so I got a little backed up, and only finished today what should've been done last week. I should still have plenty of time to finish it up and do all the other crafts we have yet to make though.
I also took a little time to make an entry to the NYAF Mascot contest, but I didn't even make top 10. In fact, several others didn't make it that I thought should have, while a few made it to the top ten that I never would've put there (in my opinion they didn't reflect the theme as well as they could have). If you want to see my entry, it is here: http://dyzzispell.deviantart.com/art/NYAF-Mascot-Contest-Alt-Entry-120673348
On another note, have you ever wondered if Wii Fit works? Well I can tell you from personal experience that it in fact does. Last August I got the game and started working out on it faithfully about 50 minutes 3-4 times a week. I also changed my eating habits simply by eating less calories. By December, I had lost about 12 pounds. I really never had a lot of weight to lose in the first place, but having tried several other things and finding nothing that worked - mainly because I couldn't find anything that would hold my attention long enough to make a difference - I was amazed at the results. I know you only have my word to go on, but my brother's fiance :devLaura-Lynn: has been doing Wii Fit since sometime last July and she's lost over 75 pounds!! She only has about another 10-20 to go.
So anyway, although it kept my attention, I've since gotten really bored with it. So I decided to give EA Sports Active a try. Well, it's too soon to speak of any results yet, because I've only done one workout, but let me just say WOW!!! This game makes Wii Fit look like child's play. I decided to try the 40-minute easy workout. Yeah, NOT easy. It was soooo tiring. I have several muscles sore today that were never sore with Wii Fit. Hopefully this will be the kick I need to get these last couple of pounds off! It has things like volleyball, baseball, tennis, boxing, kickboxing, inline skating and more. As for toning exercises, I never knew there were so many variations on the lunge and squat!
Anyway, I'm kind of tired, so that's about all for now. Next chance I get, I'll hopefully have more to report. If anyone cares.
