This is the one where my wii gets fit.

Category: Uncategorized

Mr. D. bought a Wii Fit.  He blogged about it here.

And like he said in his post, we both set up our Miis (those are little characters in the computer that represent you) and we set up goals.

My Body Mass Index was actually in the healthy zone…although it is just below overweight

** Underweight = <18.5
** Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
** Overweight = 25-29.9
** Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

My BMI was around 24.  I forget Mr. D’s BMI…but if I recall correctly it was somewhere around negative ten.  So my goal for this month is to lose 6 pounds and to lower my BMI.  Mr. D’s goal is to gain and raise his BMI.

I’ve only done four or five games so far.  I haven’t done any of the strength training yet.  What’s funny is that me and Mr. D are pretty competitive…so I think that this Wii Fit thing combines competitiveness, nerdy video games, and something healthy.  Could be good.

    Negative 10?!  I think that equals death.   I am totally going to have the #1 score in every activity… just you watch.

    Damn, I new I should have preordered my copy but I kept going back and forth on whether or not I wanted it.
