Wii unfit
Back in July, Rex and I bought the Wii we had been talking about getting for months. I think we called it our anniversary gift to each other, but that's a little weird since we don't usually get each other much of anything. Whatever, we bought the damn thing.
While the girls were in Maryland, we religiously did the fitness test. Rex is naturally pretty good at both athletics and video games, so he easily scores younger than he really is.
I started in my 70's. No shit.
I thought after a few days, I'd get the hang of Wii'ing, but I think my best age to date is 39. I scored that tonight.
I really wanted to get the Fit, but I haven't managed to hit a store that had any in stock. I'm not willing to wait in line for hours, or get up any earlier than I already do, but I do wander through the video game aisle at any and every place that might carry them. Today, my persistence paid off. While hauling Owen's hiney around Target. I should get a few years off just for that! Anyway, Target had piles of the things, and even some consoles.
After the kids went to bed, I synced the thing up and got weighed and measured. I'm pretty sure my Mii gave me the finger after she saw my weight, but I'm in the healthy BMI range so SCREW YOU, MII.
Ahem.
The Fit said I was 42. Not bad, considering what the Sports Fitness test has been saying about me! Then Rex did his initial test, and damn if he wasn't in his 20's. His BMI is pixels away from obese, but he has the balance of an infant.
On the upside, I'm kicking his ass at the Yoga poses, and I retested and I'm already 4 years younger.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to watch tv and each my cheese puffs on the couch.
