So yesterday and today I had to really force myself to do my daily Wii Boxing exercise. Partly it was just that I haven't been sleeping very well so I'm tired, but I think it's also partly the game itself. It really seems that all I'm doing is flailing around and hoping that it connects; there doesn't seem to be much in the way of skill or a learning curve, and trying to throw a punch while holding a controller is a bit awkward. I think I need to try out some of the other "sport" games that came with the Wii and see if any of them give me as good a workout as the boxing does.
Yesterday's intake:
Breakfast: Oatmeal, banana - 10 points
Lunch: Tomato-beef broth, turkey pastrami wrap - 14 points
Snack: Yogurt with applesauce - 3 points
Dinner: Chicken with teriyaki, Rice-a-Roni, green beans, milk - 22 points
Dessert: Pudding with Cool Whip - 4 points
Total: 53 points
You'll see that I made my cop-out meal from the other night again, but this time I actually did it on purpose. It was good and it was easy, so I decided it was a keeper. I spent a little time yesterday making a list of all of the dinner entrees that I've made since I started the WW program. It's a pretty short list. I hadn't realized quite how much I was repetitively making the same meals. There are only about 10 items, and I know a couple of them I've only made once. Boring!
Today's task is to go through some of my cookbooks and recipes and the WW site and add a bunch of entrees to my list and calculate their points values. I'm actually getting kind of excited about this meal-planning idea. At the very least I'm going to have a wider range of options entered into my recipe calculator to draw from, and if I'm not bored with what I'm eating I'm more likely to stick with it.
