Well I’m heading off to my Mom’s this afternoon with the family for my baby niece’s christening! After my workout this morning I packed up the Wii & the EA Sports Active for the trip-I will not only be doing my workouts, I’ll be showing the whole system to my mom & sisters.

There were actually a couple of surprises in this mornings 22 minute workout. I thought that by now having done 6 or 7 of the preset workouts (before I officially started the 30 day challenge workout series) I had seen all the exercises. But I had two new ones today-knee crunches and. . . . well, something else. I can’t even remember what it was called It’s been more than 5 minutes ago and my memory isn’t so hot some days.

I’m giving myself a couple of goals for this trip to my mom’s. Sure, I could say I’m going to totally watch what I eat and stay under 1200 calories a day-but let’s be honest. That isn’t going to happen. You’ve got 40 folks from my French/Italian/German family coming. We show love through food and there is going to be a lot of it-the whole time. So I’m going to keep my goals realistic. There are 3 of them:

#1-Drink my 8 glasses of water every day
#2-Skip all the sweets.
#3-Eat more slowly to give myself a chance to feel full.

So we’ll see how that goes.
