Exercising Hurts!

Who knew?

Well I guess I did know, but I just didn't want to believe it.

Remember a few weeks ago when that horrid Wii Fit told me I was fat and old....well apparently since I hadn't been over to my friends house to exercise recently, the damn Wii Fit was asking about my well being!

Well I think it was more trying to antagonize me by making David call me up and say "The Wii Fit is asking if I've seen you lately because you haven't been exercising." DAMN WII FIT!

So David and I made a committment that we would start exercising on a regular basis, we already do a great job of going on walks, but we wanted to actually use the Wii Fit to exercise.

This week was the beginning of it...and all I can say is "damn, I had no idea there were so many muscles in my body I wasn't using." The Wii Fit is actually a very cool piece of equipment, we've done Yoga (who knew stretching could hurt like that) and weight training (my legs are killing me from doing lunges - I guess no boy chasing this weekend for me) and I'm still shit at doing the Hula Hoop (My hips go in an oval and not a circle).

Oh yeah, and when I stepped on the board (after being home to visit family and doing nothing but eating carnival food) the Wii Fit almost did everything except scream at me for putting on 2 pounds, it even had the gall to make me choose from a list of items the REASON why I was getting fatter. Too many snacks? Eating too much? Not exercising? Eating too fast?

I chose the "Eating too fast?" option at which point the damnable machine gave me tips on eating slower......ah the gall!

But, I feel good, I don't feel lighter and my legs hurt (and for once it's not from having them up around my shoulders)...I think we're gonna beat this exercise thing, one way or another.

Looks 29, Acts 13, Feels 19

My best friend was able to grab a Wii Fit yesterday at Target and he brought it over so we could try it out on the big screen.


Have you tried it? It really is an amazing piece of hardware.

Before you start any of the exercises it tests your strength and balance by playing some "games" where you have to get little bars in certain places for certain periods of time. It then takes those timings (in addition to your weight and other factors) and gives you an estimation of "how old" you are. According to the Wii Fit, I am 49 years old!

The damn machine was just barely this side of calling me an old fat ass! So I guess it's time to get back to the gym.

My friend called me the other day to tell me that the Wii was asking for me. Apparently since I haven't exercised for a few days it was concerned about my well being and is afraid that I may have fallen into the freezer while retrieving some ice cream, and just wanted to make sure I was alive still.

So now that he has the Wii Fit, I want one too, but can't find one ANYWHERE! I can understand the console being difficult to find - just in relation that it is a console, but WHY can you not find an accessory (which the Wii Board is) anywhere.....I mean, come on, it's an accessory for god's sake.

Get your heads out of your butts Nintendo, just think of the revenue stream that you're missing out on.
