Workout 14 of WA2 was no joke. The mountainboarding tricked me - it went from 47 to 58(?). I don't remember because by the end, my quads were screaming. For those of you who have never used Wii Active 2, you're blessed in that you don't have to do mountainboarding or mountain biking! Mountainboarding involves holding a squat while your avatar glides down "mountainous" terrain. When the rails with "treasure pieces" appear, you're supposed to twist hop from side to side. After this, you're supposed to keep the squat hold while alternately jumping over the obstacles. Then you're supposed to "run" up the side of the mountain, only to repeat the process. With the round with 58 pieces, there's 3 running portions and tons of jumps. OUCH.
Then at the end of the workout, it had me do both flutter kicks AND reverse crunches. Boy, was my core screaming.
I've been having a problem eating enough calories. I'm eating around 1600 or 1700 calories right now, and that's what I'm used to when I'm trying to eat cleanly. However, I think I need to remember that I'm not 200 lbs. anymore. I need to eat more. So I've bumped it up to 1800 and will eventually bump up to 1900. Maybe 2000. I don't know, I'm a puss.
I'm tempted to play some DDR (easy cardio because I don't feel is exercise)...but my Achilles is bothering me. Weird, because I've never had a problem.
A confession: I don't understand the Paleo craze. My mom is trying it and I see all this praise for it...but I like my potatoes. I lost a lot of weight eating potatoes and pasta and all that. It feels like a glorified Atkins to me. Am I wrong?
On the wedding tip, I'm kind of already over planning our wedding. I just want to be married! I've been with Mr. M for FOUR years. We'll be together for 6 before we get married. I know, first world problems, but wah. :(
