The Evil Wii Fit

so it begins. Pretty much I'm starting this to keep me and hubs accountable for everything we eat and our workout regime. Recently we got married and before the wedding I was in the mad rush to lose weight like every other girl. Over the course of the year maybe 5 pounds came off. It annoyed me because as I huffed and puffed away I'd read about all of these celebrities talk about how "easy" it is. They have this mentality of if I can do it, you can do it. Well I can't do it. First off, I have to work. Most Americans like me spend 8-10 hours a day on their butt! The only workout that encourages is the flattening of my ass! That's one thing I would like to keep. Other areas just continue to grow as you sit there and long for a mid afternoon snack, or reach into the candy draw that your boss keeps filled, or I'm bored so I think I'll have a twinkie....you see where this leads. So back to these celebrities...if I had a personal trainer for 8 hours a day and a personal chef, sure I could lose 20 pounds in two weeks as well. But most of us know that's not normal. Instead, I opt to go to the gym (when I get the motivation) and attempt to watch what I eat. Key word attempt. At the end of 8 hours, I don't feel like eating Tofu or arugula or any other rabbit food that some diet says I should eat. I'm hungry from sitting at a desk all day doing nothing. So in comes the Wii Fit....I just had to have one of these because I thought it was the answer to all the problems. My parents bought me and the hubs one for Christmas and after the holidays we decided to give it a try. First of all NEVER have a machine weigh you and then display it on a 42" television. It's a huge blow to the self esteem. So after it weighs you and tells you your BMI it proceeds to change your Mii to represent what it thinks you look like. At the moment mine's a little chunky. Once again seeing this on 42" is not a good idea! After a few work outs and doing some yoga, my body actually is a little sore. Let's see how long it last. Hopefully we can keep at it longer than most people who "swear" they'll use the treadmill because it's in the house.
