Not sure why I have not posted recently, but I have not. I have had great intentions, because there is a post that I really need to do. Okay, there are a couple of posts that I really need to do. I can not say that it is not because I have not had time to sit at the computer because that would be lying - and frankly, I do not lie and have never ever told a lie in my whole entire life, which would be 36 years, or if you ask my Mii person, on the Wii, I am 39!!!!!....lol! (more on this story in a minute, an no I am not bitter about it one little bit!!!!)
So, my sister called me the other day and said that she found a Wii Fit and was heading up to buy it. She said that they had three or something like that and I asked her if she would not mind picking me up one, if they still had any left. She agreed. You see we were at Cabela's.
So, she bought the Wii Fit for me, which I paid her back for later when we were back in Layton.
I am not sure if my kids realize they are sort of exercising, but they love it.....
Prior to purchasing it though, I ran into this video, which I think is absolutely hilarious......I have to admit to being guilty of the part where they say, why spend three dollars on a plastic circle thing when you can spend $300.oo on a Wii, I will admit that is me. I have told Madi quite a few times, no we are not going to get a hula hoop right now, maybe later. So what do I do? Buy a Wii and now Wii Fit. Priorities.
So, I decided to set up a profile for myself on the Wii Fit. First you choose the Mii - that is your person on the Wii - that you are going to use. I chose the one of myself that I created - tall, you know 5'11" - just kidding, she is average, my height. Blond flowing silky long hair, blue eyes....okay so the blue eyes part I did not lie about - sorry...lol. But what does it give me? It gives me my Mii person, names after me - Heidi - but I swear, she is not even the height I made her as a Mii, I think the Wii Fit shrunk her and made her a little bit chunky!!!!
Well, the Wii Fit board guide on the tv starts to ask questions - personal questions, how tall am I? My age? Which I say I am 5'8"! Kidding, I say 5'0", honestly that is truly how tall I am, I was just at the doctor the day before and they measured me to see if I shrunk since my last appointment 4 years ago. And for those of you that think I am or want me to be 4'11", sorry to disappoint you, I am not that - yet! It is already sad when the teachers at the school I work at and not to mention the students point out that I either blend in with the students or that they are taller than me. Love it!!!! Back to my Wii Fit story - Then it asks me my age....36 I type in. Then it says hold still while it takes my weight and my BMI.
I stand on this little white board, still as a board. HAHAHA - get it - I told you I am a dork! Heaven forbid moving, you might just throw off the measurements, but maybe they would have been more in my favor.
All done, it tells me my weight, and it is correct, because remember, I was just at the doctor for my yearly which is more like every four years because I love it so much. Then this little white board on the tv tell me my BMI and there is a chart that tells you where you fall - what category. You know, obese, overweight, average, underweight or something like that. Of course I am underweight, what else would I be? It tells me to eat more - more chocolate chip cookies and snickers - it is smart!!! In my dreams - I wish!!! This silly, or as some call it, stupid little board thinks that my BMI puts me slightly into the overweight section!!!! Okay, maybe I am the only one who calls it stupid. I am around 5th graders everyday - sorry for the language.
Now, I know I am overweight, but honestly, do I need a game system to tell me this. I am not paying them to tell me this!!!! Madi told me tonight that it will even call you a couch potato!!!! Okay, when it calls me that I am sending it to work for me, then it can see if I am a couch potato, and go to school for me, I'll show it!!!!
And, it will give you advice on how to work out and what you need to focus and concentrate on. Silly little machine. When you are setting up your profile, it lets you choose how many pounds you want to lose and when you want to lose it by and it tells you how many pounds that is equivalent to per week for you weight loss. I wonder if there is a money back guarantee if it does not work? hmmmm?
Oh, and by the way, I am not 39!!!! Not quite there. I am not buying into this Mii age thing. Brent was sitting behind me when I was taking my measurements and telling me how old I was. He laughed. So now he jokes with me, at least he better be joking, that I am older than him. You see, tomorrow, the 27th, is his birthday and he is going to be ....drum roll please.....38!!! He is two years and a few months older than I am. But he now says that I am older than him. I think not!!!! You are going to let a silly little machine tell you how old I am? Honestly, I can not believe it...lol! I told him, he needs to stand on that little 2'x18" or so board and let it take his measurements and BMI and weight and lets see how old he is, and then we will see if he is laughing after it. He says he will be younger than me, we'll see, I will keep you updated. Maybe I should make him a bet, if he is younger in Mii age (if he is right) then he needs to take me to Bajio. But, if he is older that me is Mii age (I am right) then he needs to take me to Bajio! As you can see it is a win-win situation for me! I am not asking that much, just a nice friendly little wager or bet. I think it is fair, don't you?
Anyway, here is the actual video but made into a parody - check it out!
I wonder how many calories I can burn playing Guitar Hero? (lol)

That video was so hilarious! I really liked the hula hoop comment. As for you being slightly overweight, I have no idea what that thing is talking about! The last time we saw you, I was wondering if you had lost weight silly! You look great, so ignore that piece of white plastic and know you're a hot mama. Ha ha!
Sorry about the "ha ha," I was just envisioning Garrett's face if he heard me say you were a hot mama. :)
Haha! I almost peed my pants watching that video. Of course, being six months preggo, I almost pee my pants a lot. We just got a Wii & have thought about buying Wii Fit, so after you've played it for awhile, let us know if it's worth it. Also, Mike wants to know if you've hooked your Wii up to the internet?
