Wii (un)Fit

So over the weekend Randy and I went to the gym. It was my first time going in over a month, what with the holidays, that nasty cold I had before Christmas, and going on vacation for 11 days. But we went on Saturday.

Then on Sunday we worked out using Wii Fit. I used Wii Fit the day before Christmas for the first time and though it felt easy at the time, I recalled noticing the pain the next two days. Well, 18 days later I used it again. The first positive I can note is that I’d lost weight (just 4 pounds or so…but I’ll take it). My BMI also went down slightly, too.

But I worked out a bit more this time around, exploring new exercises in the strength, yoga, and aerobics sections.

OUCH!

There’s this hula hoop exercise that was fun at the time but, damn, I’ve been in pain for 3 days. I’m not sure if that means I was doing it wrong, or whether it means that it’s doing its job. Either way…

OUCH!

Now Randy wants to go to the gym again tonight. Where’s the love?

On an unrelated note, Yahoo! News today had the following headline: Most American Pet Owners Want Obama’s To Adopt a Mutt

Who cares? Why do “news” agencies conduct such silly polls non-stop? Who cares which president you’d rather have a beer with? Who cares what housewives thought about Michelle Obama’s election night dress? It seems that with 24/7 news coverage available now, they just grab any headline they can and run with it. I think I miss the days when you just had the morning news, noon news, 6 o’clock news and 11 o’clock news (the latter three being a concise 30 minutes long).

    You know the old saying: No Pain, no pain.
