Whee!
Times are tough. Workers are getting laid off, businesses are closing, people aren't spending. The list goes on. So, I bought a Wii. I won't bore you with how I rationalized this purchase. Suffice it to say that I hate to exercise but I love to play. Though I have only had the Wii for a few days, I have to say that it really is fun. So far, I have played baseball, tennis, golf and bowling and I stink at all of them. I actually got winded during the baseball training exercises (overswing much?). The package that I bought includes Wii Fit, which I haven't tried yet (smacks too much of "cardio workout"). I also haven't tried boxing yet, but I might do that today. I have avoided it because it requires use of not only the remote but also a nunchuck. (I soon will have mad nunchuck skills.) So, off Wii go. Game on.

I am wickedly jealous of you - I wish for Wii so that I can fool myslef into believing that I am not doing antyhing so good for me as exercising but am instead wasting my time playing video games. Please bring it with you when you visit.
ReplyDeleteYou can also work on your computer skills. Gosh. The Wii is pretty much the best thing you ever bought.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering when we were going to hear about wii--I have heard there are people addicted to wii fit. I kinda wish I was--only I have to get one first and then figure out someplace to actually do it. Oh, well. Guess I'll forgo it for now.
ReplyDeleteI think I have a Wii injury, or maybe even two.
ReplyDeleteWii? So I guess I should not expect to see you at work any more?
