Balance

Wii Fit has found a weakness in me I didn't really realize. I have a terrible sense of balance. Every time I weigh in the game gives me a chance to take a balance test, and everytime I do lousy on it. The funny part is it just goes right ahead and tells me I suck. OK. It doesn't say,"You suck!" it is more subtle. I believe it says something like," Balance is not your forte, do you have trouble walking?" Maybe not exactly like that, but that is how I am hearing it. Maybe tomorrow I'll get a closer translation.
Christmas was a lot about balance for me also. Unfortunately, it was more about how much can I balance on my plate. It seems I was able to do well with balance at dinner time, and got most of the food into my stomach. My Wii Fit told me I had gained some weight, and wanted to know why. Such a nosey game. I told it I ate too much, and it gave me some tips on how to fill my stomach with foods less fattening and more healthy. That is accurate. After any weight gain the Wii asks you why you think you gained weight. Talk about being accountable to it. If you want your stamp saying you weighed in you have to think about what you did wrong, and listen to ways to fix your fat behind. Darn my need to have that daily stamp!
I did make a good decision and decide to do a little Wii workout tonight. I did 20 minutes of a combination of Yoga, hoola hooping, down hill skiing, soccer heading, and even one strength training exercise. I am starting to feel a little better as the bronchitis starts to fade away. Almost all of what I did had a component of balance training in it, so it was good. Eventually I will be able to get a pat on the back about my balance from my Wii and it will make my whole day.
