One thing leads to another

My family acquired a wii fit this past weekend and things are really looking up.  Isn't it funny how one good thing leads to other good things?  This silly little video game burns 100 calories an hour doing piddly little low intensity workout games.  That's really not that many calories.  And yet, I feel unreasonably proud.  Today was day two of my new wii fit regime.  My little wii board guide congratulated me on sticking with it two days in a row.  And I felt like I was a fitness guru!  I felt so skinny!!
And because I feel so active and fit, it makes me want to track my food and eat like the fitness guru that I am.  Suddenly I'm planning meals and eating carefully and day dreaming about how I can't wait to beat my step aerobic score when I get home from work. 

So instead of watching an hour of house hunters international, I'm up and moving.  Which is this tiny tiny change.  But it might be the tiny change that leads to a skinny new me.

Could this be the start of me actually achieving some goals and losing some weight?  Will this be the obsession that lasts?  Could we finally see some progress?  Am I finally choosing my own adventure?  Turn to page 83 to find out! (aka, check back in a month or so and we'll see.  I've had promising weight loss epiphanies before, and look how they turned out).

On a sadder note, when I weighed in on my wii fit, my little mii character grew a belly because I am overweight.  So now my mom's wii is skinny and fit and mine is chubby, like me.  And my animated trainer is obsessed with posture.  Is that what they worry about in Japan?  Posture?  No one is overweight there, so it's about focusing on standing up straight?  Oh Japan... at least the wii fit games aren't as bizzare as cooking mama....

The deviiiil is heeeeeere!  She's here and she's angry that you can't saute!!
