I was going gung-ho on working out before the plaque struck but I was caught in a rut. I love strength training and lifting weights but the cardio workouts were boring to me. I go for a 30 minute brisk walk but that doesn't really do anything.
So with my birthday money I bought the Wii Fit. I got it at Amazon for $89.99 with free shipping.
At Christmas they were $150 because it was sold out everywhere.Anyway, I've Wii Fitted (a verb now?) for 7 days and have lost 1 pound. (The game tracks your weight for you.) I'm so excited. Let me tell you, this is a workout. I do yoga, then strength training, then aerobics and then a balance game. The game keeps you motivated. I got up at 6:30 am this morning to work out. Do you know how incredibly unbelievable that is for me? ;).
The kids love it too. Ava's favorite is the running, Lauren loves tightrope walking and Maddie does the Hula Hoop. The Hula hoop game is killer to the heart and abs.
Anyway, this isn't a review per se but we LOVE this game and it was worth spending ever last dollar of my birthday money. I can see doing the Wii Fit on days it's too hot or rainy to go outside to workout. So off to start dinner and maybe do some skiing...

and there is you lovely tv-cupboard!
Amy, I live in Mississippi and I have been following your webpages and blogs ever since you started them. I feel so close to you and your children and love watching them grown and all the cute things they say and do. You are such a talented mom. I was a stay home mom and now a grandmother to 4 grandaughters, ages 10, 2 that are six years old and a one year old. They love seeing your bunchon my computer. Keep the faith, Brian will get a job. It is tough here, also.
You know I bought one of those for my kids and all I heard was it would never get used so I returned it and now all I keep thinking is I want it for me!! LOL Especially since I read your post.
