Workout with Disney!

Last week I started using a stability ball and weights, and bought a Jilian Michaels Yoga Meltdown DVD because dieting wasn't cutting it.  I love the DVD but I can't do a lot of it because I have no upper body strength and cannot hold all 222 pounds of myself up.

So I was lying in bed trying to think about how to get more cardio in.  We live in a a condo and it's got an open floor plan and I read somewhere that walking is just as successful as running so I thought I could walk inside.  It's WAY too cold for my bones out in that weather and honestly, I had the idea of someone peeking out their window seeing me exercising.

So, I put in my favorite Disney move, Beauty and the Beast, and decided I would walk for 40 minutes this morning!  I chose Beauty and the Beast because I know it well, and wouldn't get distracted.  Yes, I admit, walking around in circles was boring, but it worked.  I got 40 minutes of a brisk walk in.  Better than 14 minutes of attempted yoga melt.  Hopefully after a few weeks of weight training I can try the yoga again, but we'll see.

Have a good day and don't loose hope!
