Wii Would Like to Play

Well, it came!! Josh and I decided to spend a part of our stimulus check on a Nintendo Wii because we've been really, really wanting one. So we found a Target bundle that came with the the Wii Fit (which we really wanted) and a console, controller, etc. We bought that the other night, and it came yesterday. Needless to say, you can guess what we did Friday night!!

We made Miis; here is Josh with his Mii.

It really is as cool as it looks on the commercials. We spent a lot of time playing some of the Wii Sports games- boxing, especially.

I turned out to be surprisingly good at boxing, but by the end of the second round I was literally sweating. So it really is a workout! We also tried the Wii Fit, and it actually walks you through being weighed and checking your balance and all kinds of stuff. Then it tells you your "Wii Fit Age" and your BMI... and your Mii changes to reflect your BMI... not sure I like that it made my Mii quite so fat! But it does let you set goals and that kind of stuff. And it has aerobics, strength training, all kinds of stuff. So we're cancelling my membership to the gym, since I haven't been in over a year (like since I got pregnant), and it's a little hard to go anyway with an infant!

Anyway, it was a very fun investment, and it'll be great on youth lock-ins and such. The funny thing is I'm actually sore this morning from too many rounds of boxing! Guess I really was getting a work out!
