Even though I got the Wii Fit for Christmas, this was my first full week using it. Besides the stomach flu visiting our house at Christmas, then getting my daughter ready to leave for her Disney World Internship, my parents arriving to take her there (thanks again!) and taking care of Mari (see 2 previous posts for Mari info) I hadn’t really gotten to do more than play around on it.<\/p>\n

This was the week I would get serious I told myself. I’m proud to say I’ve used it every day and have unlocked almost all of the different levels. As I’m sure a lot of you know, it’s a lot of fun when you’re trying to exercise and you’ve got an audience. I’ve had the kids home sick here and there and they want to be right there watching. J-Man even asked me to play the Wii Fit so he could watch. I think it was mostly for his entertainment and then he kept giving me tips from the couch. Just what I need!<\/p>\n

I have to say though, today was the hardest. I’ve sort of settled into a routine where I’ll do a few balance games to warm up. I especially like the snowboarding. Then I move on to the aerobics, like the advanced hula hoop and the step. I’ll do them a few times each for a workout then move on to the Yoga. So this morning I got the kids on the bus and Mari was getting her bed made and then would be getting dressed. So I figured it’s only 8ish I can get my workout in before I need to get her breakfast. I managed to get everything in and was moving on to the Yoga when Mari was ready for breakfast. I was determined to finish up, I only needed 10 more minutes. Mari walks by and she says “There she goes again.” I hear Mari go into the kitchen and the dogs start jumping around. When you have two 70 plus pound dogs you really do hear them jump around. She’s trying to get them to go away and I’m trying to balance in my tree pose, concentrating on relaxing and breathing and I can hear her banging around in the cupboards and muttering to herself. Relax…..Ya, right. Somehow I managed to get through all my favorite Yoga poses and went into the kitchen. I’ll be glad when I don’t have an audience to watch me exercise every day.<\/p>\n

On the upside, I’ve lost 3 pounds! Go me!<\/p>\n

Stacy found this on YouTube about the Wii Fit, and it is funny.\u00a0 Check it out.<\/p>\n
