I got the Wii Fit for Christmas this year.
Yesterday was the first time I got a chance to try it out.
I think it is going to be pretty fun.
I am not sure I like the idea of my games being able to weigh me
and tell me what my BMI is.
When you turn it on it goes through a setup process and it has you
try out some basic balancing techniques.
I am not Jillian from Biggest Loser,
but I consider myself to be in somewhat good shape.
Of course not as good as before I had kids,
but I could hold my own in a tug of war.
After I did my balancing practice the little digital "me" says
"I don't think balancing is your forte."
SLAM! What a little snob digital "me" has become.
That really hits you where it hurts.
If she told me "I don't think being a chemist or a professional opera singer is your forte", then I would have to agree.
Isn't balancing just one step above breathing and brushing your teeth?
I mean it's lower than walking in terms of physical fitness.
It's a miracle I even manage to get out of bed in the mornings.
Come to think of it maybe my "me" has a point, sometimes
I do find getting out of bed to be difficult,
could it be my poor balancing skills are to blame?
I refuse to give up though.
I pledge to work on it every day until snobby digital "me" has to eat her digital words.
At my funeral all of my friends will say
"She might not have been a genius, but that girl sure had good balance!"
