Wii-lly in Love

January 28th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Exercise, Family

I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that I have two kick-ass sisters.  Well, I think they’ve out done themselves.  They bought me a Wii and Wii Fit.  Not for my birthday.  Not for Christmas.  Just because.  Because they are AWESOME.  (Let’s pretend it’s not because they think I’m fat, okay?)

Seriously, though, I could not be more thrilled.  We haven’t joined the Y since moving and it doesn’t look like we will any time soon.  With the crappy weather, it’s too painful for the kids to be outside for any amount of time, and that means I can’t be outside (i.e. walking) for any amount of time.  So, YAY!!!  I have a Wii Fit now!  Between that and The South Beach Diet, I am going to be SLENDER by the time my little brother’s wedding rolls around.

Not only have I lost some weight already, but I am a Hula Hooping QUEEN, people.  (I may suck at downhill skiing, but can Hula Hoop like you wouldn’t believe.)

If you have a Wii Fit and you want to connect, send me email and we’ll swap Wii numbers.  I haven’t quite figured that part out yet, but I’m getting there.  I’m hoping my sister and I can see each others’ scores so we can compete and stay motivated.

Oh, and shhhhhhhh…. I haven’t told the kids about the Wii yet.  I know, I know.  But I want to keep it to myself for a little while before succumbing to the insanity.

    Wow, what a gift. The wii fit is fun. I haven’t used it much since Chris moved the wii to the kids tv room. Maybe I should start back up and compete against you. If you figure out how to connect to other people, let me know!

    WELCOME TO THE CLUB!

    Dads like it too. My wife had the WiiFit before we have the Wii even. It says that i am a fat cow that is 14 lbs overweight…so we have been fighting each other. And I even exercise and ran decent time in a half marathon!!!!

    Damn thing!!!
