21) Set one weekly excersise goal every week and then meet it. (even if it's small: i.e. 3 days of wii fit a week, two long walks around the ten hills neighborhood,  walking up the giant hill in front of my house)

So I'm reviving the Val Gets Fit blog, where I will blog about various fitness things.  If you feel so inclined, go ahead and read it, but be advised: it will be me talking about excersise, and possibly eating healthier. Read at your own risk of boredom.

Just call me Val-a-wii

The more I play my wii fit, the more I like it. I am unlocking more games, working on my balance (which is dismally bad) and working out. I like that it tracks my weight- It keeps me more accountable than I thought it would. I actually consider what I am eating, thinking "well, I haven't done my body test today... so, maybe a pass on the cheese" I'm still just a week in, but I can already feel it working, and the soreness from the boxing that I've been doing, i can totally feel in my arms.

plus, it's hella fun, and I love to introduce it to people.

Things That Make Me Happy

I got a Wii Fit yesterday, after a 3 week search. No online retailers had it, no brick and mortar stores had it, the lack of wii fit in my life was making me sad. So I signed up for an internet service that alerted me of wii fit availability. So yesterday, I was alerted to Amazon having the Fit, and I was happy! woo, wii! and by the time I logged into the Amazon page to buy it, they were all sold out. Sadness and dispair. I thought that other retailers may have some, if amazon did, so I called two gamestops, and the second one had it! I left work a little early, and picked it up.

I love the wii fit! Even though I've only had it a day, I think that if I stick to the program, and do the things that aren't as fun (the strength training, versus the soccer ball game, or skiing)

The only depressing part, is that my wii fit age (that they calculate through balance activities) is 34. Here's hoping that number goes down fast!
