…TOTALLY kicked my butt last night. I was at a friends house and they broke out the Wii. We played tennis, boxing (OW OW OW OW my arms are killing me today), golf (I suck at golf), some crazy bunny dancing/shooting game that was fun, Madden ’08 (promise girls, it was actually fun and I HATE boy computer games), and my new favorite, Guitar Hero III. I can see why people have lost weight while playing the Wii – the boxing game? Yeah, kicked my ass and took names. I was sweating, out of breath and my arms were killing me after ONLY 3 short rounds. This morning I woke to sore sides (you have to duck and cover a lot) and my arms feel like I did a 45 minutes workout.
If I had $250.00 to spare, I would TOTALLY run out and get a Wii right now (if I could find one - I hear they are still hard to find right now). I bet I would lose 20lbs of upper arm fat just from the boxing game. We had Dance Dance Revolution to try too (DDR), but I was too tired and sore to try it. That would be another 20lbs of lower body fat from DDR. No trainer needed! 
Oh yeah, Guitar Hero III. I have heard so much about this game and let me tell you -very addictive and very fun (once you get the hang of it). I was doing so well, I was asked by the computer to do an encore… I rock.
I realized I am much better at the “timing and single player-no-one-else-has-to-depend-on-me-to-catch-a-football” type of game that the others. I won almost all of those. The Madden game? While fun, I suck at catching passes thrown at me.
