The Healthy Tales

For Christmas, my parents gave Mike and I a Wii.  We thought it would be a fun thing to have for us to bond since he loves video games and I can’t figure out how to use the controller.  So once I ordered our Wii for my mom I started hearing about the Wii Fit.  So you know what came next.  I ordered a Wii Fit for us and one for her since she was also getting a Wii for Christmas.  I have to say I truly love the Wii Fit as it is a fun way to workout.  I especially love seeing “Calorie Incenerator” when I finish Hula Hooping.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been too good lately with the Wii Fit.  I weigh myself once a week for Think Thin Thursday and that is about it.  Part of the reason is because I started using Jillian Michael’s 30 day shred and part of it is pure laziness.  Enter Fitness Friday.

I’ve been looking for new Wii games to play and came across the Wii Mommies.  It is a group of moms (and non-moms) using the Wii to lose weight and it can be any game not just the Wii Fit.  I am super excited and I am going to start joining in on Fitness Friday to talk about how I am using my Wii to get fit and stay in shape.  I have my afternoon mapped out since work is slow.  Leave at 12, eat lunch, hop on the Wii, then go run a mile on the treadmill.  I might give Jillian a run for her money this afternoon but I’m not too sure.  I might have to bring her to San Antonio with me instead.  So happy Friday and if you have a Wii come join in the fun with the Wii Mommies.
