i love my wii fit

so in a little less than 4 weeks i have dropped 6 pounds all because of my wii fit. i work out every day with it for anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, i've unlocked all of the exercises and do the 10 minute boxing in expert mode and really break a sweat. i do the balance games when i'm not too tired and do most of the yoga poses (i skip the one legged ones cuz' i'm not strong enough to do them yet) and i do almost all of the strength exercises (except the planks...same reason i skip the one legged yoga poses). the point is that it is working. and yes my eating habits are changing, i'm trying to watch my portions and make sure i eat lots of veggies but if i want a little chocolate i go for it, if i feel like chips i have some and i allow myself 1 soda per day cuz i get a slight headache when i go without (it's a caffeine thing, but i hate coffee and i'm not a fan of tea so...)so anyway, these are little things that i am hoping will amount to a larger thing in the end and as long as i stay motivated i think i will do just fine.

bored

I'm bored with my life, i feel like everything has become monotonous. work seems like the same old thing every day. yeah each of the kids that pass before me have different combinations of problems, but they have started blending into each other. often times i sit at my desk doing absolutely nothing, but i mask it well and always give the appearance of being busy. some of the people at work are grating on my nerves, they're lovely people but if i have to hear one more time about how much they hate their jobs or complain about the fact that they can't wear shorts to work anymore i'm gonna go a little nuts. it just feels like the same thing every day i guess is what i'm saying. meanwhile, on the home front i am trying to turn to a healthier lifestyle, eating more fruit and veggies than any other food group and getting out and exercising more. i have been realy breaking a sweat with my wii fit this past week, i just need to make it last longer than a couple of weeks. i have been making dylan walk with me at eldridge, he grumbles all the way, but i make him do it anyway cuz we both need to get active. i'm starting to plan for the move next summer, but then everytime i have an idea it gets shot down by someone. right now i am really feeling the scranton area, marywood has a decent PhD program for developmental psych with courses offered in the evening and on weekends which would be awesome...if i could get a job in the area which i might be able to, you never know, but like i said someone wants to poke holes in all of my plans essentially forcing me to stay in this area (which i am determined not to do) but i look around at my stuff everyday and wonder what i should take and what i should donate not to mention what mom is intending to bring, cuz god help me i am not lugging all of her crap along with us to where ever we move to that lady has too much crap!! but i am hoping that a lot of her stuff will be left behind for bill to deal with. but i guess it is still far enough away that i don't have to worry about things too much
