Fat and Fifty Four years old!

Yesterday morning I woke up and it was one of those OMG, how can a person hurt so bad when they wake up kind of mornings.  Ever have one of those?  I have too many of them.  I lay there and thought about it and said to myself- "Peggy, you hurt because you are Fat and Fifty Four.... Now get up off that thang and do something about it'!  So twelve hours later I am standing in my living room with a Wii Fit Plus game and a Wii Balance board.  I'm telling myself that this will be better than a treadmill and it sure will take up a lot less space.  So let the games begin.... First you start with a setup of your avatar or whatever they call it and you go thru a process of telling it how tall you are, and then it asks you to stand on the board and it weighs you.  I think it had four categories you would fall into, but the only two I saw were overweight and obese.  I broke out in a sweat without even doing anything when I thought it wasn't going to stop at overweight.  But it did. Whew! Some consolation huh?  Anyway, when everything was processed I started playing around with some of the workouts.  It was fun to do but I didn't want to overdo things my first time out.  Today I got a little more serious with it and actually did a 10 minute run and I didn't pass out! I only went a mile in 10 minutes, but you gotta start somewhere right?  I did a bike ride, I went flying, I went boxing, I went thru obstacles courses, and on and on.  It finally told me not to do too much in one day.  I have a feeling that I may have already overdone it because I am a Fat and Fifty Four year old overweight woman!  But it was fun and my energy level has been up today, and tomorrow I will probably wake up crying from pain in a different way than I usually do.  Even if I do I am going to stay the course.  I have set a goal with the game to lose 10 pounds in one month.  Wish me luck my friends.  I'm sure I will need it!
