Wii ... Can Help!!!

Okay, about a month ago, my husband and 8 year old daughter headed to Best Buy to purchase a Wii for our family... I have been sceptical about this gaming system for a long time (as I am sceptical of any gaming system that keeps you seated, distracted and glued to the tv)

Well, all I can say are POSITIVE things about the Wii by Nintendo!! This thing is AWESOME!!

My husband and I have been saying we needed to loose weight for while now, so when the Wii Fit was mentioned and we knew we had a little extra money, I finally caved and we got one. The rest is history! My husband has lost like 6+ pounds now and I'm down about 5. We LOOK FORWARD to working out!

Yes, I said we look forward to working out! We love to do the yoga as do our kids. We are all getting better posture, flexibility, gaining muscle and loosing weight (well at least Mommy and Daddy are!) The fitness activities are wonderful, the balance games amazing and did I mention the yoga (oh yeah, I did!) Now that we are into moving our butts to get some weight off, I have to give big thanks to the one thing I never thought I'd give thanks too, a video gaming system!

So Santa better be nice to me and bring me the Jillian Micheals Wii game, cause I need to up my workouts and who better than to kick my butt than Jillian!!

Oh yeah and to keep me motivated, my Mii (we character) is called Bigmomma! That way when the weight comes off and Bigmomma starts to shrink, I can change my Mii to Shrinkinmomma and then when I finally get to where I want to be, I'll be Hotmomma!! (Something to make me keep on going and find myself at the end!)
