Are Wii Fit yet? – DAY ONE: Benchmark

Day 1 is always the worst – the realisation of just how unfit you are can be really uncomfortable. I finally took the plunge, took the Wii board out of the box and got myself weighed in (I took my body measurements myself)Wii-fit-20080402033455209_640wWii-fit-20080402033438991_640w

    ROFL, oh I’m sorry I shouldn’t laugh because I know this would be me too, I used to be so fit but what with travelling and not getting back home until 7.00 ish every evening it is difficult to get motivated to get in, change and go to a gym for an hour and then get back and cook, that’s why I walk to and from Marylebone to Mayfair every day it’s the only regular exercise I get (shame on me!)

  2. Oh, I so agree, no shame at all either – there’s nothing to say I’m going to finish this thing – I could hardly walk today…ROFL!..ooh, that hurts…..
