Fitness Friday-My First Week of My EA SPORTS Active Challenge!
Okay, I’m about to do something I never thought I’d do-I’m posting a picture of myself in a bikini. I actually recorded it and pulled a still out of the recording, so it’s kind of grainy, but at the end of my 30 day challenge, I’ll vlog myself in the same bikini and see how I’ve changed.
As you can see, I don’t look too bad. Partly because I pulled my favorite shot out and partly because I DID lose 60 pounds. I’m currently at 143 (having gained some of my lost weight back because I totally slacked over the holidays), and you can see that my arms need toning, my stomach flattening and there’s NO WAY I’m tossing in a rear shot unless I see some serious change in that rear of mine.
This first week has been AMAZING. I’m truly impressed with the EA Sports Active product. So far, I’ve worked out four times and have had two rest days (the pre-programmed 30 day challenge has you work out two days on and one day off) and today is my second day off and I’m STILL feeling the workout!
EA Sports Active starts you out at the level you choose, and I’m choosing the hardest level because I’m super determined and it’s working EVERYWHERE. I can still feel it in my thighs and arms but it’s not an annoying painful ‘burn’, it’s a wonderful “I can feel my parts moving” stretch that is bringing me more energy, a better attitude and general sense of well being.
There is no cheating this game. Not like anyone would try to cheat on a diet lol, but everyone has played a workout video and taken a little longer break than they should have. This product knows if you’re not putting your leg up high enough, it knows if you’ve taken that extended break. You literally have your very own personal trainer in a box, without the self consciousness that having a real person next to you might bring.
I’ve been posting my progress on my other website, The Wii Mommies, where you can catch my Vlogs of my day to day progress and also read up on the other Wii Mom’s setbacks and success. You can head to our Forums and reach out for support or offer your support to others who are in our position of wanting to get fit but don’t know where to start.
We’ve added sections for personal topics such as possible reasons behind our weight gain, stress in our family life or other reasons why we might find ourselves in the fridge as well as sections that talk about Virtual Fitness and Diet programs like Weight Watchers and the diet I’m following with this EA Sports Active 30 day Challenge, Bob Greene’s Best Life Diet.
I encourage all of you with blogs to participate in Fitness Friday with the Wii Mommies each week. It’s simply a way to hold ourselves accountable for our actions as we strive to reach our fitness goals. The Wii Mommies are here for all of you, and by writing something up on your website and linking using the linking system we have on the Wii Mommies site, you’re enabling all our readers the opportunity to connect with you and find the inspiration they need to join us in their own personal fitness quest.

Congrats on your weight loss! I’m off to check those forums now
I just happened onto your blog today and wanted to give you major kudos for posting yourself in a bikini. You look great and should be sooo proud of yourself.
You look great! Good for you to be so dedicated to your work out routine and weight loss goals. Keep it up! By the way, I featured you on Healthy Moms for Say It Forward this week.
Oh girl, your a hottie! What a cute bathing suit.
I am a bit behind, I have read up and see what this EA Sports Challenge is about!
Thank you for sharing…
I agree with all the other posters (of course) – you look faaabulous, dahling! I think your arms look pretty darned toned to me.
That’s my girl!
xxxoooxxx
You’re a brave girl for posting this picture of yourself. I’m to chicken to even wear a bikini to the beach. Great job on the weight loss. That’s fantastic!! Congrats!! I sure would love to lose about 30 pounds. I’m back on the diet again. So hears to hoping. Hope you have a great weekend.
I am so proud of you! I think that you look amazing now…I can’t wait to see your progress!!! You go girl.
I dub thee Super Hot Mom!!!
You look fabulous. Congrats!
Looking good
You’re a brave girl (bikini pic)!
I think you look great already.
Thank you so much for being brave and doing this. I think you look GREAT btw. Following other people’s health journey’s tends to help me out a lot. I can’t wait for Christmas when I finally get my Wii!
You look amazing! I can only hope I’ll look that good someday!
Is it hot in here or is that just your hotness emanating from the computer screen?
I’ve been a bad Wii Mommy – I’m back on track this week, though, so I’ll be posting my Fitness Friday post on Friday (May 1st) the good, the bad and the ugly… 
One step forward, two steps back…but hopefully many more steps forward in the immediate future! 
I am SO wanting to get the EA Sports Active – I need some extra oomph in my workout!
You give the rest of us hope! Must invest in some sort of fitness fun.
Ummm, I don’t know what to say except, “You look so sexy”. I love your stomach.
wow! you look great and you did a good job c: I am inspired to do some weight lose for myself c:
I think you already look great! And I think you are brave, like the others have said. Good luck with your weight loss. I have been a tad depressed about the weight I gained when I broke my hip and am still working to get strong enough to really work out.
Hi. I’m just here visiting your site, and I have to say, I like it a lot. You have some great stuff to check out. I have a small blog that has been around for about 2 years. It’s not big, I delete posts every now and then. But I invite you to come check out my site. I would love to have you over.
YAY for you! I would find this more effective if you didn’t look so great already. But I do understand the need to have everything toned and feel and look the best you can. Good luck! I’ll be checking back!
You look wonderful I just took my first 40 minute walk since cancer and it felt great. It’s been well over a year and today I made myself walk and it felt great. However there is nothing I can do to tighten a 62 year old lady’s loose and elder skin however it’s great knowing your happier and healthier and I can be happy and healthy if I keep making my butt go out and exercize thanks for the motivation.

All the best with this challenge. I did something similar with P90X and posted a shot of myself in a bikiini. My first in over 10 years. If EA Sports Active does not work for you, I’d love to coach you too.
Wow!! you look amazing.. you are one hot Momma.. Im so jealous of you.. Keep it up
