The last time I was at anything resembling a healthy weight was the last time we had a democrat in the White House. In fact, I first made my Weight Watchers goal weight in 1993, during the first year of the first Clinton administration, and while Clinton was in office, I got to overweight, but never obese, let alone morbidly obese which I have been as recently as 2005. In BMI terms, I'm still obese, working my way toward overweight and then down to healthy.
Last night's election results have me fired up in all kinds of ways, not the least of which is a desire to feel good about myself again, and one of the best ways for me to do that is to achieve my rather reasonable Weight Watchers goal, not the weight number, but the reason I go to a meeting every Saturday morning and spend $39.95 every month on my monthly pass. I want to look good naked.
And I can do that. Yes, I can.
To that end, I played on the WiiFit this morning for 35 minutes and busted my ass. The trusty heart rate monitor said I burned 433 calories. My WiiFit age is still too high, at 52, but we'll see how close I can get that to my actual age by my birthday which is in 3 weeks.

You realize you're making me jealous right? I really need to spring for a Wii, clearly. *sigh*
However *coughs to clear throat*
GO CONNIE GO! WOOOT!
I really need to Wii it up more. Well, WiiFit it up. I hate that life is getting in the way of fun! Lol.
What's your favourite game so far? I'm partial to the advanced step and the peginun one...but that's because I'm good at them.
Oh and WiiFit story - we get my 4 year old niece on there and she LOVES doing the yoga, it's so flippin cute!
I like all the aerobics that I've tried so far, and the penguin game is a lot of fun. I haven't unlocked everything yet, and I haven't tried everything I've unlocked, so I'm not sure what my favorite favorite is, but I really like the island run, hula hoop, and step.
