The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I have a Wii Fit, javachik.

Heee. I'm loading pictures onto my digital frame. The size my camera takes is too large and the resize that flickr does is too small. Oh well. Total first world problem.

How do you like it, dcp? And thanks for the offer, Ms. Walker. I might take ya up on it!

I like it, give it a try. The initial set-up is a little annoying and too cutesy, but once you get past that there is a wide variety of activities you can pick and choose from. My balance is good, my stamina is not, but it is slowly improving as my weight and blood pressure come down.

I still play Tennis and do the training stuff from the original Wii Sports disk more than anything else, though.

“Not dead yet!”

Does anyone here a Wii Fit? (Or do I need to ask about opinions in the gaming thread?)

We do too-- the set up is annoying, but it is fun. My only complaint with the yoga is the sequence in which they unlock the various moves doesn't line up with the sequence in which I'm accustomed to doing them.

But I LOVE the slalom skiing. Too much fun!

My only complaint is if you miss a couple of days, it has a tendency to mock you. Which pisses me off and I say bad words at it and then I'm fine.

I love my Wii Fit, although be prepared to want to smack the console when it tells you your BMI and Wii Fit age. (I mean, seriously, I'm relatively thin, and I still wanted to smack it.)

Oh, I would not like that feature at all. Talk about saying bad words at our toys.

And it looks so cheeful when it's telling you what a loser you are, too.

Lewis just laughs at me.

It really does. Little fucker.

Still, as I said in Bitches, it's fun and still the best way to trick myself into exercising that I've found. (Also, it is kind of nice to see those numbers improve.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Man, not to toot my own horn, but the lentil soup I made last night is DELICIOUS.
