If only we could all sleep this soundly! He was on the floor watching his favorite Little Einstein cartoons one minute and I turn around a minute later to find him sound asleep!

I have been feeling like this a lot lately . Just not in the mood or not having enough energy to do much of anything except to get through the day.
I have myself to blame. I've not been exercising or eating healthy as I know I should. Sort of goes hand in hand...........you are what you eat and what you do!

SO, I was amazed at my wonderful husband when he looked me in the eye yesterday and said that he could tell I wasn't my energized self lately and that he knew I was having a hard time getting to the gym. He then told me to go out and buy a Wii ! He had noticed that Lisa had been using one and she's lost weight and doing great with it. Also the kids have fun with it.
SO, I did just that! Tonight I spent way too much money and bought the Wii console and it came with some games and I also got the new EA Active exercise program!
I will be getting it all set up this weekend and start my new exercise routine next week. The only reason I am waiting for next week is because the next three days are extremely busy. Kyle gets out of school tomorrow. Family is coming over for dinner Friday. Jim is leaving for a weeks trip back east on Monday and a lot of things going on this weekend.

I'm really looking forward to using it. Not only will I be able to exercise whenever I want but Kyle gets out of school tomorrow and he is a boy full of energy and not enough space in this small house so on the days we can't get out and about he and I can play the active games! They are not the type of games you sit on your butt and stare at the screen, they are games like tennis, bowling, boxing, skiing,,, active games! I'm sure Conner will try his best also!

So you guys can all keep me accountable to use it regularly and get back into my energized self again!!
