Wii...Love it!

Our family has a new "toy" and we are truly enjoying it.   I even think we may be getting more family time out of it as well!  What is it, you may be asking?  It is a Wii Game System.  Thanks to my Mom and Dad who bought it for all of us for Christmas we are having a lot of fun! 

Creig opening the Wii!

We probably would have never bought one for ourselves, but we are so glad to have it!  Last week, Target had the Wii Fit system on sale and since I have been working out at home a lot we decided to buy it.  I am so glad we did!  It is so much fun!  I am kind of glad to not have to ride my stationary bike every night, and the Wii Fit system actually keeps up with my BMI, weight, and will count my calories burned for me!  Did I say it's great?  Meredith actually likes it too, and we have created a profile for her.  She has been exercising with me!  What better way to teach her good habits!

There are so many exercise choices with the Wii Fit:  aerobics, yoga, strength training, etc.  One thing I have really enjoyed is watching Creig, especially when he does the hula hoop aerobics exercise!  It is quite comical, and he agrees.  Even Meredith said, "Daddy you look silly.  You need practice."   Maybe I will be able to sneak a video or a couple of pictures to post!

The only thing I have disliked about this system is that it takes your measurements and then tells you what your Wii Fit age is.  Now, most of you know I have been exercising and eating well for months now.  And...are you ready for this?  As of Monday I have lost a total of:

45 pounds!

I am so excited...of course, I have more to go! 

So, back to the Wii Fit Age.  I went through all the tests and was weighed, did the balance test (which I did very well at) and do you know what my Wii Fit Age was?  33 years old.  Ugh!  Can you believe that?  I am not even 33 yet!

Now, Creig gets on the board and hasn't exercised in probably a year, eats what he wants, and did terrible at the balance test.  Guess what his Wii Fit Age was? 29 years old!  What?!  Something is wrong with this picture!  Oh well, I guess 33 years old in Fit Age is better than 43 years old in Fit Age!  

Guess who else got a Wii System for Christmas?

That's right...Tiffany and Patrick!  I am hoping I can talk them into getting a Wii Fit too, so we can link up together and work out.  We'll see! 

So, I guess you can tell Wii...Love It!
