I have been horrible to you, blog-reader...

After my 12 week program I thought all I wanted to do was write everyday and tell you what I've learned. The truth of the matter is that life always gets in your way. Good and bad.

So here is my formal apology that I will be better about writing this blog.

I was eating lunch the other day at one of my favorite SLO stops, Splash Cafe, and something funny was mentioned to me. My friend, Erin, asked me if ahi tuna is good for you. Without even thinking I said, "That's a great source of protein, it has 50g of protein." She quickly followed this comment with, "You're the Rain Man of caloric values". LOL It's true, I have put so much of this information in my brain that it comes out without thinking about it. I never thought that I would be "that girl". You know...the kind of girl that says "Do you know how many carbs that has in it?!?!?". Don't cancel your lunch/dinner dates with me just yet. I am learning to control my caloric turrets. ;)

I have been trying to workout when I can. It's exactly what I was afraid of, I am letting life take up all my time leaving me with no time or energy to workout. I am trying to combat this, and make it to the gym at least a couple times a week.

Scott and I have been smitten with Wii Fit for a little bit now. We like just being able to hop on the Wii Fit board in the middle of the living room, whenever we feel like it. If you have a Wii Fit and love it, stop reading now... If you are considering purchasing Wii Fit for your home let me give you the inside scoop:

1. You are not going to lose weight using this program. Yes, you can work up a sweat. Yes, you might even be sore the next day. The programs are far too slow to get your heart rate up. If you are looking for something to supplement your workout, this is a good choice. It's fun and you can workout as long or as little as you want.

2. Wii Fit can be a little mean. It was my turn on the Wii Fit after lunch, and almost as soon as I had stepped on, it said "Watch that afternoon snacking!". That's right folks, Wii Fit called me out. It's like it had been creepily watching me eat that peice of pizza I shouldn't have. If you are delicate about your weight, this is NOT the program for you. Also, when you weigh yourself and it tells you that you are "obese" and your little Wii Mii gets fatter that's a confidence killer also.

So there you go, a mixed review. I love and hate it.

Scott and I also bought the EA Sports Active for the Wii. This is a great exercise program. A note of warning: This program is pretty sensitive so you if you don't have the Wii-mote just the right direction you are not going to be able to complete your reps. So far I like it a lot, stay tuned until I want to throw it out the window. :)
