Trying not to suck

sunburst_strengthOkay, I've failed at posting here. I've been mired in an attack of the blahs, but I'm trying to get out of it. I have exercised in small amounts off and on and been sometimes okay and sometimes rather not okay about eating healthy.
Today I decided to start the 30 day challenge on EA Sports Active. I only did 15 minutes, but it was not easy! I had to skip a few lower-body exercises because the leg strap thing is just not working for me. It was too small, and I got some extra velcro so that it fits, but it won't stay on. I guess my thighs are just too tapered and soft, but I have a plan. The walk/run works okay with the nunchuck in my pocket, but the squats and lunges just didn't register. So I'm going to take a snug pair of capris and sew a small pocket on the front of the right thigh to hold the nunchuck. Then I can just wear those pants when I use the Sports Active--good enough.
The sections I did were walking/running (in place), inline skating, and some various arm-strengthening exercises with the resistance band. Oh, and boxing! I'm really kind of loving boxing on the Wii. I'm planning to do some Just Dance tonight after dinner settles. ;)
ETA: I got my nunchuck pocket (made out of most of the foot part of an orphan sock) sewn on and did a short custom workout on Sports Active to test it out. Looks goofy: check. Works: check. Needs to be sewn on better: Double check.
