Wii

I decided to purchase a Nintendo Wii to help me toward my goal of getting in shape. The machine came with two games, both sports related. I decided to try one out and had a great time bowling. Its fun to be able to bowl within the confines of my living room. I've also practiced sword fighting and kicked my DH's butt. He did kick my butt in Pac-Man and Galaga. Those two games were my favs when I was a kid, so I had to find them. Its not as easy to play on a Wii controller as it was in the arcade, but it was fun. Anyway, I've been using the Wii Fit Plus to start exercising. I've been enjoying the "workouts" that I've been doing. I really can't call them a workout because I've been doing more stretching and balance exercises at this point. Tonight I actually did a Wii workout. It was three different exercises. Once I get into the routine of doing this I will be happy. I'm going to Hawaii at the end of May, so I want to at least tighten up some areas, but would love to lose some weight as well. I haven't lost a complete pound yet, but I have gone down alittle. I've been trying to watch what I eat as well. That's not going as well. I've cut out the potato chips pretty well, but I feel like I'm eating too much. Its a slow thing, but I'm concious of what I'm trying to do, so hopefully I'll start making some headway soon.

Haven't gotten much sewing done this week. I'm hoping to work on it this weekend, since DH is doing military duty. I'm still working on Step 6, but I'll keep trudging along. I'm not in love with the blocks yet, but I'm going to finish the quilt and hopefully it will grow on me. I've had quilts that I didn't like before, but once they were quilted I fell in love. Hopefully this one will go that way as well.
