My life is a series of contradictions, the latest of which is characterized by the red basket in my refrigerator, the one that is overflowing with chocolate I received for Christmas from those who know and love me, and "Georgina," the gleaming white Wii Fit board that sits just a few yards away in our family room.
At this point I'm not sure exercising is doing me any good other than to burn off the fat and calories from said basket of chocolate, but I'm still plugging away.
I've also discovered that I may just be the most uncoordinated human being on the planet. Step aerobics, why do you mock me so?
So what brought about this sudden interest in pulling out and dusting off the Wii Fit once again? None other than the Wii Fit Mommies, a group of women dedicated to encouraging and pushing each other to achieve their fitness goals by using the Wii Fit. How fun, right?
Even better. Not only do they blog and have a Twitter account, but they also have a forum for women who are using the Wii Fit to get in shape.
So here's the question of the day: Do you have a Wii Fit? Do you use it?

I don't have one. :( I'd like to get one. Not sure about the part that it yells at me for not using it or it shows my weight every time. :\ However, I'd like the extra workout between my water aerobics twice a week. :)
Yes I do and I don't! I got it the day it came out and I used it for maybe the first two weeks and that's it! It's been sitting under my loveseat ever since! I have to give partial blame to our floor though. The rug is too thick and I haven't found the right thing to put under it yet that doesn't annoy me.
I do and I have been trying to use it. I did a post about how it really works as an 'exercise in humility.' : )
Step areobics makes me feel uncoordinated...
And that soccer ball thing...I should've been knocked unconcious!
The hula hoop made my kids roll on the floor laughing at me and they took video!!! Anyway, I pressing along on it when I have time. It is fun. Thanks for the info on the mommy group!
I don't have one of those, but they sure look interesting. I might have to take a closer look. :)
I got one for Christmas and so far I love it. Once you get past that pesky weigh in section, it is fun. And my husband has been trying to beat my hula hoop record. I can not hula hoop in real life, but on the Wii Fit I am quite the Hula Hoopty :)
We do have one! I'm still trying to figure out how to use it while keeping the 2 year old off of the baby and away from me and the wii fit board!!
We got one a 45 days ago to be exact (since it tells you each day). I used it once and then not again for about 38 days and boy did it let me know! I have used it every day since the first of the year (or been to the gym). I love the balance things and the hula hooping. I just got the boxing unlocked today and it was fun also.
Nope...but I do share your love for chocolate!
We got one for Christmas & I LOVE IT! No, we got a Wii for Christmas, I bought the Fit for myself & daughter plays the heck out of it! LOL
I just found Wii Mommies today & am very excited about it too!
My husband got me one for Christmas, and I love it! I have been doing the "free step" in the mornings while I watch t.v.... averaging about 2000 steps just doing that! I think it's great, and my kids love it also.
I've got one, and as part of my new year's resolution, I've used it about 4 times this week. I used to think it was too easy and fun to count as a workout, but after a couple of moths of not doing ANYTHING, I changed my mind!
