Well, my blood pressure has gone down to 137/72!  Yay!  The doctor has released me to go back to the gym!  Woo Hoo!!

No more fighting for the Wii Fit and I can start pushing the iron again!  SOOOOOOOOO excited!!!  See y’all in the gym!!

Keep the faith!!

So according to the Wii Fit, I’ve lost 1.6 lbs in the last few weeks.  I’ve been playing is when I can get time.  I know.  I know.  "You have to make time to exercise."  But that’s not the problem!! 

The problem is that since I got the Fit for MY Wii … the NON video game faction (see: everyone else in my house above the age of 6)  have been dominating the thing!  My sister, my brother-in-law, and of course my niece and nephew want to play.  Even my Mom and my Dad are starting to play!!  I swear, I have to schedule time at like 3 AM to use the thing!!

I think I may do that … put up a calendar with times that people can schedule Wii time … yeah!  That’s what I’m going to do!

So I got a Wii Fit this weekend.  According to the thing I’m fat.  Go figure.  "Tell me something I don’t know!"

"Ok." it responded, "Your Wii fit age is 30."

"Sweet!" I said. lol  My sister also was playing on the Fit and her BMI said she was in normal range, but here Wii Fit age was 52! Woah!  We got a good laugh out of that.

Anyway, because of the blood pressure thing I’ve had to find alternate means of cardio exercise that get my heart rate up, but not too intense.  The Fit definitely fulfills the job.

The Fit’s sheer awesomeness is amazing!  It is SO much fun and I worked up a sweat faster than doing the treadmill or the elliptical.  Working hard and you don’t even realize it because you’re having fun playing the game!  I am really hoping I can actually see some results from this thing.  We’re going to find out since I am putting it in as my new exercise routine. 

I’ll be doing a little of all of the exercise categories.  They are Yoga, Strenght, Balance, and Aerobic.  My sister, her husband, and I were having a blast trying to out perform each other on the different games.

So all in all, great fun for everyone.  I’ll be sure to keep everyone updated!

Keep the faith!
