All 4 of us went down to Gamestop this morning and were waiting at the door for them to open up. I got the last WiiFit (not including preorders). Thank goodness we were early!

We then went to Wal-mart to go grocery shopping (yea, super Wal-mart) and my feet were KILLING me by the time I got home. Plus I had waited to long to eat something so my blood sugar was low, I was crabby and feeling weak.

After unloading all the groceries I popped WiiFit in. I made a quick trip to the mii channel to make a new mii just for use in wiifit. I knew it would make my mii super fat so at least now I was prepared. Plus I gave her pigtails because it just doesn't make sense to work out with your hair down(like my original mii had).

I entered my height and weight, did the balance test and all that good stuff.... and it sure plumped up my mii with lovely elephantine music to go with it. Heh. My feet were REALLY hurting by now. Bad idea to walk all over the store for that long and then plan to do excercises when you get home. I did a quick yoga pose and then handed over the wiimote to someone else. The rest of the fam wanted to try it out so I started on making lunch and watched Alex's mii get plumped up, Andrew try to master the balancing and Chicky trying to figure out when to stand on and when NOT to stand on the board.

I'm planning on using this mostly in the mornings when I'm full of energy. I'm more of an early bird than a night owl.

Oh right, I also set a goal to lose 20 pounds. I think I set it for 2 or 3 months. Not sure which one. My overall goal is to lose 60 pounds but I believe the max it allows is 20 at once. You can make new goals later if needed.

I like to get my wiifit in in the mornings. Preferably before the kids wake up. One day last week I was up doing my morning run on WiiFit when my son came in and started watching. He got so excited to see little doggies running across the screen. Then he started naming off what Mii's would pass me.

Once I had finished my morning routine I let him get on and try some balance games. He actually got a score of 60+ on the ski jump game. I'm impressed! (He's 4)


My sister came over last night. But before we had even decided if she could come over or not Alex was on the phone with me. "We need to have a WiiFit challenge tonight! We need to do soccer heading, hula hoop and tilt table!!!" I wasn't feeling well by the time she got there so they had to have it out without me. I witnessed some fierce competition between them. I definitely have to say that these types of things are much more fun when shared with friends.


On days when I can't or don't feel like doing the excercises I try to at least do a weight/balance check. That way I'm still on the graph and still aware of my progress.
