This is not me. It's a picture of a slim, young lady using the same piece of equipment that sits in my bedroom, gathering dust. The same one I assured my husband I would use. "It's easy on the knees; low impact and will allow me to also exercise my upper body. It's perfect!Yeah, right. Perfect. The first time I used it, I threw out my chronically bad hip. So, it sits. Gathering dust. Oh, I said that already, didn't I?
That was three years ago and hubby's mind has, mercifully, forgotten my previous declaration of vigorous, never-ending exercise and weight loss, and happily bought into my new sure-fire, motivational gimmick, er-uh...stroke of genius! Besides, he had no clue what to get me for Christmas, so...problem solved.
Wii Fit! How could I miss? Yoga, strength training, aerobics, balance exercises. It's perfect and I can do it in the comfort of my own home! We got it a few days before Christmas and loaded it into our existing Wii program. Before I can start playing, however, I have to set up my profile: Age, height, weight...WEIGHT???? This isn't good. Hubby is sitting on the sofa, watching my progress.
I make him hide his eyes while this stupid little animated Wii board shows me I'm overweight! Don't think for a minute you're going to find out the details if I won't even tell him! Let's just say if I weighed what they suggest, I'd be a walking, talking skeleton.
Anyhoo, hope everyone has a great 2010, and please, leave a comment with the resolutions you enjoy breaking the most! Gotta go. I'm making chocolate fudge and snickerdoodles!
Happy New Year!

Chocolate & snickerdoodles - sounds like the perfect fitness plan!
I'm famous for holding grudges..I'm hoping to cut it down to only 2 this year! what do ya think? Grudges aren't healthy PLUS, wrinkle lines! (caused my stress and distorting) EW. Happy New Year :)

Glad you like my diet plan, Mozi. And Moccasins, I don't think 2 grudges a year is excessive, but 0 would be better. :>)
I hear ya!
I tend to be very solid & compact, and NOBODY believes me when I tell them what I really weigh. The nurses at my doctor's office usually do a double-take when they make me step on the scale.
