We got the Wii on Friday night. And then on Saturday we got another controller, and a charging station, and Winter Sports 2008. We played with it quite a lot, so on Sunday we went out and got another Nunchuck so we could do split screen slaloming.
My word, but perlmonger and I are crap at it! But we shall persevere. We did this all yesterday afternoon, and then went out to the pub quiz, which we didn’t win. No change there.
My shoulders ached this morning, as did my legs a little bit. But still, we sallied forth to the North Somerset Show – walked there and back, a round trip of about 5 miles, and then 3 hours or so around the show. Quite enjoyable, but the weather was horridly humid. I bought a hemp hat for six quid, and perlmonger purchased another wooden spoon, for verily 10 cannot be enough for any household.
Cooking was non-existent, mostly – we’ve been eating out of the freezer to make some room. Sossidges Saturday, and a rather splendid upside down pear pudding, Sunday night was home made kofta meatballs, and chick peas with spinach, and tonight is chicken and chorizo with chickpeas, and couscous. Nice having home made convenience food 🙂
Hope you all had a good one.
Do let me know if the Wii thingmy actually helps with fitness / weight loss.
I’m really tempted to get one myself but they are expensive and I’m not convinced from the adverts that standing on one leg actually does anything to decrease your BMI!
There’s a great deal more to it than standing on one leg. Go do a search on Youtube.
My shoulders are aching just from doing Alpine skiing all afternoon on Sunday – like most things, you get out what you put in. I plan to use the Wii to get me fit enough to go and get fit, if that makes sense; I’m determined to try and do 30 minutes a day minimum.
But it didn’t ship on Friday, so I have to wait … wah.
We love our Wii – Pete and I have had huge fun with it, but yes it’s expensive.
I don’t understand – how do you do skiing without the Fit board thingy?
You use the controlers which come with the Wii!
