Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!

We bought a Wii a few weeks ago, and yesterday I bought a Wii Fit! It's the best invention in gaming since the Atari I tell you!

Not only can you do yoga, strength, and aerobic exercise, there are a heap of balance and coordination games to get you moving. You can track your results each day too, and set a goal for weight loss for 2 weeks to 3 months away.

So Hunky Hubby and I were setting ours up last night. You pick your character, enter your height and birthdate, and then it weighs you and gives you your BMI. My feeling of dread at the thought of my weight and BMI was totally justified.... And I justified it to myself by saying "well we've just been out for dinner, and it's the end of the day!!" Hunky just laughed at me (that is, until he saw his own BMI! Ha!)

It's pretty hilarious, after it gives you your BMI it automatically changes the shape of your character to a little fatty!! Then I got my Wii Fitness Age.... I'm 44! 14 years older than I am in real life!

HOWEVER! I have done my second session on it this morning, and already I've lost 1.6kgs, and reduced my fitness age as well. Amazing what weighing yourself in the morning compared to the evening can do! I was feeling rather chuffed at my super amazing progress (BAH!) when up on the screen pops a little note "We note that you weighed yourself at 10:30pm last night, and it's now morning. Weighing yourself at the same time each day will avoid inconsistencies in your results, which can vary by one kilogram depending on the time of day".

It's a SMART little bugger that Wii!
