I was supposed to walk 5km on the dyke today with Brendan, but he's not feeling the best and the weather isn't exactly inviting, but I was committed to doing something active today, so when Dylan said, "Mom, come play on the Wii Fit with me!", I headed upstairs. After creating my Mii, I was ready for my body profile. I would like to say at this point, that the Wii Fit is a very mean and discouraging game. After asking for all my vital stats, it tells me that I'm obese, completely unbalanced and that I'm 11 years older than I really am. And this is supposed to encourage me to work out how?? I have a perfectly proportioned, spandex attired, 17 year old trainer talking to me throughout different exercises and I wanted to throw the controller at her. (I personally think that's the real reason so many controllers have gone through tv screens!) After many failed attempts to ski jump, or hit soccer balls with my head (why is that fun?), Dylan gives me his analysis of my time on the board - "Mom, that's not good!"
Oh, and I had to set a goal for myself at the beginning of all this and it didn't like my goal either - "Are you sure you want that to be your goal?" I wonder how many Wii Fit boards have gone through tv screens?
