Well, Chaundra and I purchased the Wii Fit on Wednesday. It was fun putting it together and trying it out. It is funny because Chaundra was putting together supper at the same time and I started to do all of my Body Test. I put it on the floor and got on it. As it weighed me I came out normal on the BMI (Body Mass Index) I was so excited. Then I turned it to the weight thing and it said that I weighed 145 pounds, that is when I realized that maybe the carpet was under me was cushioning me. I had already set it up to lose two pounds in 2 weeks. I remember seeing little foot pads for the Wii board that were for thick carpets so I went and got them out of the box and put them on it. Then I redid my Body Test. As soon as I got on it, it said “we have determined that you are holding something 41 pounds.” Now it says that I am overweight and instead of having to lose 2 pounds in 2 weeks it is saying that I have to lose 43 pounds. That is always fun to hear.
After a while Chuaundra did her body test. It went a lot better for her. Then we did some training. Chuandra trained for a while then I got back on later that night. It asked me if I had noticed that Chaundra's posture was better and I said that I hadn't noticed. That is when it told me that I should pay better attention to her. Wow dissed twice in one night by a machine.
When I went to Walmart that night as I was walking in I notice that my posture did feel better, but by the time I left it had already felt normal again.
Anyway, we enjoyed being able to start getting fit. We are going to start out slow and go from there. (I will worry about not hitting my first goal later) We already have been able to feel it in the morning, so I think that it is going to be good for us. I am really enjoying the game and I would recommend it to anyone who has a Wii. It is going to be something that you are going to have to keep up with though. It will be an everyday kind of thing. For now, I guess we will have to get back to it when Chaundra and I return. At least we will have hiking and swimming to keep us going for the weekend. I would give the Wii Fit a 4 and a half stars out of 5 - I would have given it 5 but then it made fun of me.
Oh and by the way - it was nice to Chaundra.

That's freakin' hilarious! Who knew the Wii could be so cruel?
I am sorry the Wii Fit insulted you (although I am still laughing). I hope that you and it will learn to get along. It may just be going on the coaching principals, women coaches encourage a better game out of their players men insult it out of them. I don't say I agree with it, but maybe the Wii is your personal coach and knows she needs encouragement and you may need to just be mad at it and show it you are better than it.
Don't take it personal it is just a machine! Enjoy your weekend away!
