My Wii-kness

Two Christmases ago my family pooled together to give our family a Wii and the Wii Fit game with balance board. Although the children were ecstatic my family (and I) knew that a big point to the gift was so I could use the Wii Fit to have fun and exercise to lose weight and get healthy. I was looking forward to it until I tried to use it. The stupid thing groaned at me in its cute little voice and then let me know there was an error. Translation you are too frickin' big- GET OFF! I was embarrassed and bummed. I was a Wii failure. Sure I could play the other games and even got the Dance revolution game to fill in till I was light enough (holy crap that game is tough.) Needless to say I just left the Wii Fit and balance board alone chalking it up to yet another goal.

Till yesterday!

Oh yeah that's right! If you can use the Wii balance board raise your hand and say Mii-iiiii!
Woot! "Mii-iiiiii!!!" Yes oh yes I figured what the heck and tried and it WORKED! My little Mii is a round but happy girl, and she can play! And to top it off my kids were so excited too! "We can ALL play now mommy!" they cheered! How awesome! That is one more thing I couldn't do with my kids that I can now!

Sit down tight, fasten your seat belts, put your hands up and say "Wii-iiiiii" because this chunky dunkin' journey of weight loss is one wild roller coaster ride!
