More about Day 19

I knew I’d get a shoddy one – but better than expected I suppose, considering. Who would have thought that 3 days of junk food and no exercise would have brought me back to my starting weight. Although I’m getting enough sleep – I still feel tired. Wiible (what I have now called the Wii Fit Balance Board) told me that “Most people who exercise feel tired because they don’t get enough vitamins – remember to eat fruit and drink plenty of water!” I’m not sure if water has any vitamins in it, and certainly none of it comes from the great Neverfail Dispenser at work. Hell I could probably make it accountable for why my teeth are crap.

But hey Wiible, bring the comments on!

It is a little freaky he knew I was tired though. (He?)

I’m also starting to get over this hideous virus/flu/whatever that I had – and feel much better today than I have in ages. Might actually do some exercise instead of the pathetic attempts at stretching I did yesterday. Really I have no problem giving myself some recovery time – but it didn’t even try yesterday (the sitting game – the step game?) I don’t really get much exercise or enjoyment out of the step game, but it really easily clocks up 5 minutes, unlike the running game which really difficultly clocks up 5 minutes.

But I don’t pass out for blissful sleep unless I have a workout that makes me want to collapse. I’m also not fining much desire to go above 30 minutes – plenty or reason to go under, not much incentive to go over. I mean I suppose one day I could make a crack at going for an hour and see if it goes *ding ding sing ding* You reached 1 hour!

Did the worse I’ve ever done in the balance (left to right pink bar thingy) test, but the best I’ve ever done in the agility one. Maybe the key word I was missing out on was AGILITY. I was always kind taking my time doing precise movements etc. Silly me.

Day 19,

• BMI: 26.44
• Weight: 77
• Age: 22
• Exercise / Total Time: 30 / 45

I’ve been really sick. That’s now starting to sound cliche. I have never had a good immune system after having glandular fever in the first year of high school. It stuffed up my development and academic achievement, and I never really caught back up (I was at a selective school with Brainy kids, and being sick in your first year = no friends = hard time at school = hard work, whether or not your a couple of months behind everyone else)

I’m only just starting to get healthy – and two have 1 serious, one normal sickness since starting this program. Maybe its making me really sick.

My scores are bad – not as bad as I thought, but not good either.

I got 70 points for the advanced table tilt score, I’m pretty happy with that.

Also I bought a scooter today.

Day 14,

• BMI: 26.44
• Weight: 76.4
• age: 20
• Exercise/Total Time: 31 / 51

Got my highest ever hula hoop score – Rocket fire, with 1773. I felt like I was having a seizsure by the end of it. I also finished the basic river thing – I could get all the way to the end, until that stupid jagged rock, on which i would promptlt pop. 2-3 tries a day for several days – and that jagged rock (the left one for those who were curious) jut was beyond my unbalanced feet.

Mainly I did all yoga today.

Day 12,

• BMI: 26.71
• Weight: 77.2
• Age: 28
• Exercise/Total time: 0 / 7

Exercise? I think not. Bleh.

Hello world!

I am keeping the title of this post the same as the default one they give you for what, in my mind at the moment at least, seems like a hundred reasons. I won’t say mainly…. but mainly, because as cliche as it sounds, a new me will hopefully emerge at the end/some point and I hope to enjoy it as a second lease of life. Not that my first one is particularly terrible but because I hopefully will enjoy it none-the-less.

This is my Wii Fit Challenge. I got excited, nay inspired by Vinnk over at www.4colorrebellion.com. Who, aside from spelling colour wrong, are a great read. Vinnk (sceptically) decided to challenge himself on his so called “The Great Experiment: Wii Fit” for 7 weeks up until his wedding day. And you can read about his success and otherwise here.

So this is my time to shine. I’m going to copy/plagiarise/flatter/steal their idea. Although I nowhere near expect to write as much and as much as I am writing this like I’m writing for the world, feel safe in the knowledge that this is more of a online personal journal than anything like Vinnk’s.

However, if you are reading this… wish me luck!
