Obviously, I need to cut back. Doing so will be a bit of a challenge. The good news is, I did manage to get in a workout yesterday - Gold's Gym Cardio Workout on the Wii, followed by a ten minute yoga podcast I bought from iTunes as a way of squeezing in a little extra stretching and toning over the week. But I'm going to have to step it up a bit more, and I don't know how I'll do that yet.

Maybe I'll make it out for a bike ride this week. Or maybe I'll do more Wii games and sweat it out. I dunno. But I do know I need to lay off the coffee and the fruit cake, 'cause my head and gut are killing me!

Walk It Out, if you haven't seen it, is probably one of the simplest Wii fitness games out there. Using either a DDR mat, the Wii balance board, or the Wii nunchuk tucked in your pocket, you walk along to music while exploring a virtual island. That's it, period. Well, you do accrue points as you walk, which you use to unlock various items on the island, like trees, buildings, a cafe, farmland, and even a giant airship, but basically, you just walk around the island. And I really love that.

I'm the kind of person who loves being immersed in video game settings, but doesn't particularly care to hack and slash or shoot my way through a scene. Rune Factory is one of my favorite video games, even though I rarely play it, because I can spend an hour or two just running around talking to people and digging up farm crops and such. Of course, Rune Factory doesn't require me to get my butt off the couch, but Walk It Out does, and that's part of where my love for the game comes from.

I'm about 75% of the way through Walk It Out at this point, and will probably finish it soon. When that happens, I don't know quite what I'll do next. Konami, who released Walk It Out, apparently have no plans for a second game, even though I've seen rumors that the company who developed Walk It Out would love to do another one. I would love a chance to explore another virtual environment, and had hoped a new version of Walk It Out would include more exotic settings, either from around the world or straight from imagination. Can you imagine how cool it would be just to walk around on a space station on Mars? Or explore a steampunk city in Victorian England?

But it appears this is not to be. So what will I do when I've completed Walk It Out? Play it again from the start, most likely. That's what a lot of fans seem to be doing. Just starting the game all over again from scratch. But I will keep my eyes out for a new game. After all, I do get bored, and I like to be entertained with new things.

I wish Konami realized that.

Once we returned, home, when the flu didn't have me flat on my back, I did some Walk-It-Out with Pixie and more boxing. I did manage to get to the Y once, on Friday, and then took my first bike ride in a couple weeks yesterday. Both activities went well, which makes me feel good. It means that my Wii workouts let me keep up my endurance in spite of my break from the usual routine.

In fact, I think with the weather turning colder, the Wii will become part of the usual routine again. During the summer, it was easier to get out during the week to bike. Even though I promised myself I would not hibernate inside all winter, I still can't seem to get myself outdoors to exercise. And with Girl Scout cookie season coming up, it may only get more difficult as things go. So I'm certain I'll be relying on the Wii to keep my butt as jiggle-free as I possibly can. I may even look into getting a new fitness game, like Wii Zumba, just to mix things up.

Anyway that's the fitness news for today! If you have any Wii workout games you'd recommend, let me know.

Speaking of news...

Cynical Woman has a Steampunk section in the Zazzle store!!!!!

Huzzah! I finally finished the steampunk themed artwork I've been slaving over all month and posted it in the Zazzle store. It was so good, I made it into Christmas cards, prints, stamps, a t-shirt and more! Plus all the other stuff is there too, including my Zombie Santa card! So pop on over and take a look. Zazzle offers sale codes on a regular basis, just look at the top of the page and you'll see what the current special is. Support your local Cynical Woman and help her conquer the world of merchandising! Yay!

I can thank my sister-in-law for this. We were up her and my brother-in-law for the holidays, and she had signed up to do SOME's Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day. I managed to get Hubster, the kids and myself signed up as well, so very early on Thanksgiving morning, we all went out to walk/jog the Tiny Turkey Trot (one mile) and then we did the full 5K Turkey Trot. And I learned something very important during these events, and that is...

No matter what you think you'll be doing, always dress to run!

I expected the girls to walk just the 5K. Instead, they opted to do both events and they took off running right at the start, then continued to alternate between running and walking the entire distance of both courses. I was dressed in jeans and loafers. This was not an ideal running outfit. Now I know better for next year. I will wear running shoes and sweats, no matter what!

In addition to SOME's Turkey Trot, Hubster decided to bring along the Wii and set it up at his parents place where we horrified/amused one of his brothers with bouts of Just Dance and Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. Even though we were in a very cramped space, Hubster and the kids and I all managed to shake our groove thang without falling over any furniture. Though one time I did get a low-hanging wind chime tangled in my hair.

And there was the usual walking about. Unlike in my hometown, you can actually get to a number of places in DC just by walking, so we walked to the park and to the zoo. And since the Zoo was doing a night-time "Zoo Lights!" display, we walked all through that as well. Lots and lots of walking.

All in all, I got plenty of exercise in, and I managed not to eat too much turkey so I feel pretty good about myself. And in summary I would like to say that this Thanksgiving I was very thankful that I did not look like I did in the photos we found in my in-laws' house where I was three weeks post-partum and I looked like Tippy the Whale.

We'll see if I can turn that around, or at least stop my slide into sloth and indifference during the holidays. I told my sister-in-law we'd sign up for a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving. She's going to run the 5K course, while Hubster, the kids and I walk it (my running days are over, thanks to my bum knees). It'll be good to get out and walk in the brisk morning air then go home and eat all that food afterwards. And since we will be away in DC all the rest of this week, Hubster has mentioned taking the Wii with us so we can work out as a family at my in-laws house. That's a good idea I think.

Hopefully, I'll get back into my groove again soon. We'll see.

My family and I are in DC most of this week. If I was very good on Friday, I got all my blog posts for this week done in advance, so there won't be any missed posts. If not, you know what happened! I hope you all Happy Turkey Day, folks.

But I still need to exercise, so what to do?

Exercise at a time when I'm not supposed to be working, of course. But that means exercising when the kids are around, so anything I do will have to include them.

Don't get me wrong, I haven't given up exercising on my own. I still go to karate once a week, I still bike a couple hours a week, I still go to water aerobics twice a week. But I need extra work out time, so if I want it, I'm going to have to do it with the kids. To that end, I've started doing things like playing outside with them, or gardening in the yard while they ride their bikes and scooters in front of our house. And on Fridays, I take them to the pool at the Y.

This has to be the best part of the whole deal. I've been dying to get Pixie into swim lessons. Problem is, she hates taking the lessons. However, if I go in the pool with her, she's happy as a lark. So rather than fight her over formal lessons, we just go to the pool together and use the open rec area. She's actually taught herself how to doggy paddle, and I get to bounce around and tread water while she swims from the wall to me and back again. It's a win-win scenario.

And Princess loves this too. She loves taking swimming lessons, but since she can swim pretty well, she's not going to complain if we go to the pool just to go to the pool.

I'm still looking at other things we can do together that everyone will enjoy. I do have to be careful about my knees, so things like running races with the kids isn't an option. But we can garden together, or I can do yardwork and they can play. And we can go on walks together and do other things together. And we can even do some Wii Fit together.

Anyway, that's what's going on in the wonderful world of exercise at la casa de Madden. Drop me a line if you can think of anything I could do with the family that I haven't thought of yet!

I like to hibernate when the weather turns chilly. I like to curl up on the couch with a hot cup of tea and look out the window knowing I don't have to be out there unless I want to be. However, this isn't the healthiest attitude to have, so I'm going to force myself this fall and winter to get out at least once each week, twice or more preferably. Once my biking gear comes in, I should be okay to ride. I'll still have to ride against the wind every time I go out, but at least I should be warm. And maybe if I can find the time, I'll get outside a couple afternoons each week and work on the yard. I don't have to spend hours outside, just 30 minutes or so will do the trick.

But it's going to be hard. Believe it or not, I've got a lazy streak a mile wide and it's most likely to rear its ugly head when the days turn cold and dreary. We'll see how well I fight against it this year.

Anyone else have plans to get outside this fall and winter? Let me know how you do it!

No way was I going to let someone burn out the lining of one my girl parts. But now, after having gone through a couple of really miserable periods this year, I'm starting to wonder if it might not be such a bad idea. I'll need to ask the doc about the insomnia and knee pain and see what side effects I may be looking at, but if it will somehow help with all of that as well as eliminate the painful cramping, I may tell him to do it right then and there.
