Ken and I promised to not buy each other a Christmas present this year. Which is fine as I would rather spend money during our vacation. However, I decided to buy myself a present this year and bought myself 'The Wave' by The Firm, Inc. Here's a link:

So, once Ken started back to work, I started using it. I am so glad we get up so early in the morning. This gives me enough time to work out and then still have computer and coffee time! This is the second full week that I have used it and I am already feeling better and a little more tone..not a lot but a little. I am also sore, which means something is getting used! When I'm done, I am so sweaty so I know I'm working my cardio like I'm supposed to.
The best thing about it is that it's not hurting my back. I used the Firm system before with the steps...and my back would hurt for a long time! This new system is a lot more gentle on my back as the step portion is not that big. I also have fun with it!
I like the fact each session is 30 minutes max...the express ones are like 15 minutes. Perfect for me...no excuses to not excercies, (and trust me, I've thought of all of them!). I am incorporating my Wii Fit with this...on days off I do yoga and the Wii Fit helps keep track of my weight.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I'm excited to find out what happens to my body after a month! I will be interrupted with our vacation, but still plan on excercising while we're on vacation to make up for my lost time!
So, as I've said before...baby steps. The weight watchers thing wasn't working for me. The holidays didn't help one bit! But, my thought is excercise and the others will come about, (I've already noticed that I am eating less during the day and eating better). I also cut out my beer, (helps that I don't have any). So, I plan to check in here everyday and post my weight. Let's see how this goes!
