The Weekend of Wii

We got the Wii. For anyone reading this that doesn't know what that is, it is a Nintendo game console that is really fun. I got it for Wii Fit. I thought it would be a fun way to stay in shape. Steve could also have fun with it when he can't get to the gym. We are now slowing becoming addicted to Wii.

It rained this weekend so there wasn't much to do. We spent a lot of the weekend upstairs in the loft cracking up playing the games. We got Wii fit which comes with aerobic, yoga, strength and balance. The yoga and strength ones are pretty hard and you definitely feel it. The aerobics and balance games are really games but you also get in a work out. Steve was really good at the balance games. He is a professional snow jumper and soccer ball header. I am a pro hula hooper.

Picture this..... I am standing on a board and looking at the big screen tv. Hula hoop starts and I am swinging my hips around super fast like I have a hula hoop on but I don't. I lean forward with both hands acting like I am catching a hula hoop but I am not. I was cracking up so hard all by myself the first time I played. This makes working out fun.

Gavin is a little too young for it. It tracks your weight and your BMI each day. Tells you if you are underweight, normal or overweight. Hopefully my Wii does'nt tell me I am fat.

This Wii will be loads of fun and we have to make sure we don't become junkies. The good thing is that you have to be moving for most of the games so no fatties in our house playing video games.

Sunday the rain stopped and we actually took showers and got out of the house. We ran a bunch of errands and had a typical Sunday. We ended it will movie night, watching Nemo and popcorn. It was a nice relaxing weekend that went too fast.
