There’s not really much to say about my third day with Wii Fit. I chugged along doing the activities, unlocking a few new ones, and focusing on Yoga and Strength Training. I’ve learned which activities to stay away from because they’re either too boring, not taxing enough, or entirely too taxing. My weight went up 0.7lbs from yesterday, which sounds about right because I reverted back to my full glass of milk before bed routine. It helps me sleep. To compensate, I’ve decided to cut back on Starbucks Frappucinos. I’m addicted to those things and drink at least one a day on my way to work. I figure alternating coffee and tea every other day would probably be healthier.
I think I overextended myself running tonight. It’s a shame now that my endurance is finally improving and my chest and breathing can last for longer runs, it seems that my leg can’t. My lower left leg is throbbing in pain. I suppose it’s my fault, though. You’re only supposed to run every other day (at least according to the ‘Couch to 5K’ plan that I’m doing). I’ve been running every day for a while, and I think I’m going to have to cut back. I’ll switch off between running and using the elliptical machine and see how that pans out.
