Wii Fit Plus

I'll admit it. I slipped up and stopped taking care of myself for a while. I lost two pounds and gained it back during Thanksgiving. I have since neglected my 30 Day Shred DVD as well. So while I do feel a little guilty, I don't feel all that guilty because I have not actually been sitting on my rear this whole time. :-)

I have been playing with my new Wii Fit Plus! Yes, it's a video game and yes, it doesn't give nearly as good a workout as the 30 Day Shred, but it's way more fun! I actually did used to play the Wii Fit, but the games got boring and I stopped playing on it after a while. With the Wii Fit Plus, my interest has been renewed and I've even started playing my old favorites again. Now, I know that working out on the Wii is probably not as good as working out in a gym or taking a fitness class, but I have better luck getting off my butt to play on the Wii than going to the gym. What I mean is, my interest in playing on the Wii is allowing me to be active consistently, albeit on a lower intensity level, but consistency has always been something I have had great difficulty maintaining. So right now, I'm not complaining that I am able to do something, however minimally active, on a consistent basis, rather than doing nothing after a few intense spurts.

So since the Thanksgiving blowout, I've been on the Wii Fit Plus and wouldn't you know it? I've lost the two pounds I gained from that weekend! Hurray!
