Slacking

I have really been slacking lately.  Between having bad days, being super busy, and asthma issues.  I'm really not happy about it.  I have a goal trip.  Basically my goal is to lose 10 pounds per month until my trip in August.  That would mean a total of 50 pounds and I would be able to wear all my summer clothes that I haven't worn since 2009.  I know I can do it if I make the time and stay focused.  I am doing the Les Mills Pump program.  It has me doing weight routines & cardio 3 days a week, cardio 2 days per week and 2 rest days built in.  I have wanted to do something more than just walking on a treadmill or elliptical machine in the gym.  Last night I decided to fire up my wii and play a few games.  What started as dancing to a few songs on the Black-Eyed Peas Experience turned into a few more songs on the Michael Jackson Experience and a 25 min workout routine on Just Dance 4.  In total I was "dancing" for over an hour.  It was really fun and I got a great workout.  I was able to get my heart rate up and had to turn on the fan to cool me off.  I think my dogs thought I was crazy.  lol.  When I started I had walked less than 2000 steps for the day.  When I finished I was up over 8000 (my daily goal).  2000 steps equals one mile.  I'm so glad I figured out a fun way to get in my cardio.  I'm also glad I live alone and my dogs can't talk or laugh at me.
