to Wii or not to Wii

Well am in week 1 of the weight loss and am down half a stone, really pleased! So this week I went out and bought a Wii. I have in the past gone to personal trainers but I just can't afford it so went for the next best thing, I hope!!!

So far so fun, been a good bit of crack and no one laughing and me jogging around the living room, we apart from a few crows on the window sill falling off their perch!

Feeling rubbish this week with a horrid cold and food has no taste, don't know how thats going to go on the scales but we'll see.

Progress on the Wii next week!

Quick Question

I need to ask you guys a question and I want you to be brutally honest with me ok? Do I look fat in this shirt?

I'm babysitting a Nintendo Wii at the moment (that's a whole different story). I'm not much of a 'gamer' (not sure I should even be using that term being 38) but they have a fitness game called Wii Fit. Now, I consider myself to be pretty active and neurotically healthy, I eat good and all that jazz. My missus has being doing this Wii Fit for the past month or so and said I should give it a go. I was confident but not cocky.

It starts off with a body test, you know weight, bmi (weight to height ratio), balance, etc. On I get and off we go with the tests. Pretty straight forward I'm thinking. So it's time to weigh me, no problem there, right?

Huh?? So I'm now a fat bastard. I'm not shallow. I can deal with that. I'll go to the gym 7 instead of six days, well doable. Then there were a few other balance tests. Apparently I hang a bit to the left (I knew that already though).

Finally, it was time to tell me my Wii Fit age. I didn't need a computer to tell me this. I was born in 1970 so that makes me....

WTF? All those years in the gym and I'm a 56 yr old fat guy. I couldn't care less though 'cause my missus, as it turns out is, 24. Booya!
