Last night I finally got around to hooking up my Wii Fit. My plan is to get back to running every other day (at least during the week).... and do Yoga/Strength Training/Aerobics via the Wii on the other days.

So before you start the activities, Wii takes you through a setup where it measures BMI, Wii-Age, and Weight... along with Balance.

Imagine my surprise when this message popped up....

Because I trip all over the place, including falling down stairs!! (I think part of the problem was I wasn't used to the Balance Board... and I am generally bad at video games anyway.... but it was still amusing!)

Anyway...Tracking progress

Day 1:

BMI - For me only :P

Wii age - 59 :/

Weight - For me only ... but I will say... it was not as bad as I thought it would be.

I have wanted a Wii for a while, but kept putting it off. Then a few weeks ago Nintendo announced the big price drop. Shortly there afetr a co-worker sent out a link where Amazon had the Wii + Free Shipping + $25 Amazon Giftcard all for $199. Done Deal!

The system arrived a few weeks ago. I have been crazy busy, but managed to play a little Bowling and Tennis. I also order Wii Fit Plus with the gift card. I hoep to have that set up this week!

I recently referred a former co-worker to my compnay for a job openeing that we have... and they have offered him the job... so I get a nice referral bonus :) Now I need to decide what to do with it! I have wanted to get a Wii for a while (no not so I can play Pearl Jam RockBand... I am plain bad enough on regular Rockband when I play at a friends' house -- though it is fun)...

Then there is the obvious shoes or new handbag (or some combo of both). And the boring option that my mom will vote for ... Save It!

So.....
