I have created my own weight loss plan and I’m calling it the “Disneyland 50″.  I want to lose 50 pounds between now and  October 10th when I am going to Disneyland with my kids.  Today marks the 2 week point.  I started with the EA Sports Active game for the Wii and joined it’s 30 day challenge, and of  course I’m working toward drinking 8 glasses of water a day and I’m trying to make good choices when eating.  After two weeks I have lost an appropriate 4 pounds and I am feeling fantastic!  Since the 30 day challenge on the Wii has a two days of exercise and one day of rest schedule I will be adding some aerobic/weight training this week.  (Joyce Vedral’s Bottoms Up workout – one of my favorites)  I figure lower body on the first day, upper body on the second day, rest a day, and repeat.  Add to that some crunches daily Monday through Friday.  I have my sister and aunt joining me in weight loss and my 7 year old daughter and husband as my personal cheer squad.
