A distinctly uninspiring day today but at least my Wii Age has gone down! I am now younger than JJ which can only be a good thing.
So day two and I am exercising in the morning as this is most likely to be when I do it normally. I have lost weight and so BMI, but I think that is due to the natural weight loss that people have over night as yesterday I excercised in the evening and today I did it in the morning, before brekkie. Today I have had to decide how I was going to progress - seems that each time I play a new game or number of reps is opened up. I have decided to play new games as I come across them, rather then if one is unlocked during the aerobic session in yoga, going back to do it and that I will stick to the same number of reps for at least a week before upping them to the next highest level. Also I am a little worried (?) as for example I am still unable to do push ups but did them on my knees today and got a 100%. It seems to me that moving on to more reps before I cna actually do a single bleeding push up is cheating, though I could be wronger than a wrong thing that is very wrong. All in all, I did better today than yesterday BUT that is really only due to me actually know what I'm supposed to do today so we will have to see how things progress over time...
For my birthday (to my complete surprise and bouncing up and down joy) my Mum, Dad and sister got me a Wii with Wii Play. I loved it and it was particularly unexpected as we had got the same for Dad for his birthday so when I opened the present from Kristy and found the Wii Play I thought she had got our presents swapped over by accident. On my Dad's birthday we spent the best part of the evening playing with the wii - unfortunately with Dad's recent accident (He fell over with a milk bottle in his hand, severing 2 tendons and rupturing one) he could only use the wiimote and note the nunchuk. He did however prove himself to be a demon bowler and he and JJ had a couple of matches. Poor Mum's wrist was hurting due to her arthritis so she couldn't play this time.
My lovely hubby hadn't got round to getting me a present so he got me a book and promised to get me the wii fit when it came out. Well today was crunch day and I waited in ALL DAY getting more and more annoyed waiting for it to come. Finally, about 4ish it arrived - I think I may have scared the delivery guy by me somewhat over enthusiastic answering of the door. I lasted about 1/2 hour before succumbing to setting up which took all of two minutes and then I felt guilty and decided to wait for JJ to come home before playing it.
When JJ came home, he was allowed about 2 seconds to take his shoes off before being forced into the lounge to play. Unsurprisingly I am classed as obese, JJ as overweight and it calculated my wii fit age to be 42 - annoyingly JJ was classed as 31! I played all the way through the exercises and then JJ did the same - JJ whupped me in nearly EVERY game, though seeing him trying to hula hoop in just his pants and shirt more than made up for it.
I HATE the gym and, though I went fairly regularly for a short while, I quickly stopped as I loathed it so intensely and found it so very boring. This however was enjoyable - we both finished knowing that we had done exercise but not exhausted and, having had a much needed shower, we were both feeling quite good.
All in all, I hope that I will keep up exercising with the wii fit (which incidentally is hard to type as I kept getting wii fiit) as it is enjoyable, variable, inherently silly with the aforementioned hula hoop game, a football heading game and a tightrope walking game just for starters. We have decided that we are going to take before and after photos - some without clothes and some with clothes which we can show the general public without causing mass panic.
