Wii Fit

I have been wanting to start a blog for a while now and I finally got my inspiration! I pre-ordered Wii Fit some time ago and am very excited to be getting it soon. I have set a goal of losing 60lbs. using the Wii Fit within 6 months. If you are trying or want to try the same thing leave me a message if you are also chronicling your Wii Fit journey as well and we can glean tips from each other and moral support! I will be posting weekly updates on my Wii Fitness level as well as posting my measurements in inches, which is I heard, the best way to tell if you are getting results.

I am a 23 year old stay at home mother of two beautiful girls. One is nearly 3 and the other nearly 1. Blessings come with each age, for example, we can just give our 1 year old, Ellie, a Wii remote without batteries and she is happy, however if we try the same trick on with our 3 year old, Eden, she knows the difference between one that work, mostly I think because the blue lights on the Wii remote. However the Wii-mote only keeps Ellie entertained for so long before she loses interest but Eden is so cute playing baseball(even though she can't hit the balls very well she can't really mess up pitching) She will yell things like 'Out of the Park!' Which I have to admit is pretty darn cute! She also likes tanks, but she has no idea how to play she just waves it around and when things blow up she yells "I killed you!" Which I also think is cute.

So I have no doubt that while I am doing Yoga she is going to be right next to me trying to do it as well as Ellie is grabbing my legs and crawling up and down on the board, that might throw things off a bit but I'm sure I'll find some way to entertain her. My husband is also excited to see what games they will come out with that incorporate the board other than the Wii Fit.

All in all I think Nintendo has won the majority of my future business. I love the DS Lite, the Wii and have had every previous system as well and they are just getting better and better. I for one don't know how they will ever make a future system that will surpass the Wii. However there will always be some games, such as the Final Fantasy games that I won't be able to play on the Wii or games like Soul Caliber 4 for X Box360 and PS3. Both systems that I hold grudges against but sooner or later will have to pick the lesser of two evils, I haven't yet decided which one that is yet though.

My brother has an X Box360 and I have played that(Guitar Hero 3) and the graphics are a lot cooler than they are on the Wii but surprise, that and the ability to download songs are the only noticeable difference to me. Sure I miss seeing the cool graphic effects around my character when I rock out and my hands on fire when I am doing awesome but hey that kind of stuff just isn't the most important thing to me. However I do wish we could download songs on the Wii version, I understand though, why we can't.
