Happy Tuesday! The winner's of the Stephanie Rowe Kiss at Your Own Risk blog contest are Eileen and Sara M. Way to go! Just email me at angie @ angie fox.com and I'll get your information out to Stephanie.
As I write this today, I'm sitting with my feet propped up on our Wii Fit Board. Now I'm assuming it wasn't designed as a foot rest, but it sure makes a comfy one. Which brings me to the next issue. Is it a failed new year's resolution if you haven't started yet?
You see, our family got a Wii for Christmas and courtesy of an amazing Black Friday deal, the Fit Board came along with it. That was cool because I've been wanting one for awhile. I hear they're really neat and a great way to keep track of your progress. Of course that is the problem too - according to multiple reviews on Amazon, your little computer trainer is so good at monitoring your exercise habits that he actually taunts you.
So basically I'm afraid of the Wii. I can't get myself to start because I wonder what the little guy will have to say about my weight. Will he berate me for my cheese and cracker habit? I need those to write. The fit board tests for balance and tells you just how clumsy you are. I'm a Fox. Our entire family is full of klutzes. Do I need to be reminded? My uncle ran over our neighbor's mailbox on Christmas eve and it's still sitting next to a broken post out there. That's reminder enough. And what if I skip a few days? I have things to do. The computer trainer doesn't. He's just twiddling his thumbs, thinking of new ways to taunt me.
And so I wait. I prefer to think of it as more than procrastination. It's a standoff. And for now, I get a pretty nifty footrest.

I think you need to cowboy up and teach that little trainer a thing or two . After all, you do hold all the power, literally, you can turn it off. Don't be afraid "Just Do It" .
...That little Wii guy?? He made my Mii pudgy! Agh. I do not look like that Mii! And yes, I stopped using it because it was upsetting to see a chubby Mii waddling about.
My advice, skip the nasty little dude & invest in Just Dance. Way more fun.
we love Just Dance! The second one is a lot harder, but still fun :)
Okay. Yes. See? I'd have a pudgy Mii too and that is just not something I want to think about right now! I have other things on my mind, like demon slayers and imp attacks. Really serious stuff, here.
Yes! I love Just Dance. That also came with out system. The new one seems cool too, but I want to master this one first.
Find out if there's some way to adjust this trainer's settings. A "mouth off" setting would be nice.
{half-smile} That's what I'd do if I had the thing. I have severe permanent vertigo. I don't need to be reminded that I'm not graceful. I'm quite aware enough of that already. {wink, Smile}
I'd rather think about demon slayers and imp attacks anyway. They sound much more interesting. {SMILE}

P.S. I meant "mouth off" as opposed to "mouth on." I just realized that phrase has two opposite meanings. If I'd caught it earlier, I could have changed the phrase... {embarrassed Smile}
A.E.B.
LOL Oh I know what you mean. And you're right -I'd rather think about imp attacks too. Hence the foot rest. I could turn off the volume maybe. But now that I hear it makes your little Wii avatar chubby, I don't want any part of that, either. I mean truly - that's just rubbing it in.
