Cardio Party 2:  45 minutes
Ab Jam:  10 minutes standing

Wii Fit Age:  25


I think that lower body workout yesterday must have really worked, my legs were getting tired during the kicks today.  I suppose that's a good sign.

We bought ourselves a used mini-van the other day.  We ended up talking the guy down more than 40% from his original asking price.  Not a bad deal.  It has a few cosmetic issues, and a couple mechanical issues that we are all set to take care of.  With some of the money we saved I think we're going to put a CD player/usb connect stereo in it so the kids and I will be able to listen to what we want.

We had intended to buy a different mini-van, one that had built in child seats, but somebody beat us to it.  On the way home from buying this one, Tyler was sitting in the back and he discovered that it does indeed have child seats built in.  Yay!  No need to run out and buy a car seat.  The Dodge Stratus I've been driving since Tommy turned 2 has a built in seat and we haven't used a car seat since.

We cancelled the cable yesterday, and now just have broadcast stations, DVDs, and Netflix.  I have managed to get myself hooked on Lost now.  I had never seen an episode before this week, but Netflix has the series available by season.  I started with the pilot, Season 1, Episode 1.   Through season 5 is available instantly, so that should keep me occupied with as much as I watch TV.

So what did we do after cancelling the cable?  Went out and bought a brand new HDTV of course!  It's great, and now we don't need a digital converter box.  I just plugged a digital antenna in and it was good to go.  I want to get a wireless PC to TV converter so we can use the television as a computer monitor if we so desire (for those couple shows that Netflix doesn't offer but we can watch online).  I can already think of a couple good ways I could use that for homeschooling. 

The spring quarter of our Kitsap Biggest Loser starts again on Monday.  Maybe I'll do better this time around.  Wish me luck!
