Now that it’s the new year, we’re all thinking the same thing: it’s time to lose the weight gained from all the holiday binging. I’m regretting a few steaks, cheese, potato chips, lasagna, hollandaise sauce–you name it. While I’m not a big fan of dieting, I do believe in weight training and overall fitness.

Shawna and I have been talking about getting a gym membership, but I found that the only way I can force myself to go is to do personal training with a trainer. It worked for me in the past–I would meet my trainer after work for about an hour and do some aerobic work and some weight training. I really did feel better when I was doing it, and lost about 10 or 15 pounds.

While I would rather breastfeed as a quick way to lose weight, it’s about time I got myself into shape–and Wii fitness doesn’t count! It’s totally lame–but I get winded playing. And my elbow has been aching since the day we opened the box! My Wii age has dropped dramatically, which only means my fingers and wrists have gotten stronger.

Ahh, the joys of being in your thirties–every chip goes straight to your arse.
