Okay, I just don't get it.
I put on five pounds. I've been a good boy this week for the most part. I certainly haven't been a bad enough boy to earn five pounds!
I'm not going to let this discourage me. I've come a long way and I have a long way to go and this is merely a speed bump.
I'm really angry. I don't have anything else to say.

-9 in 7 days!
Would you call this a Yo-Yo Diet yet?
Losing more than a pound a day can't be good for me. But, I don't know what, if anything, I'm doing wrong. It seems like I'm constantly eating something. It's not like I'm exercising to death - I laid around all week with my feet up due to my ankle. Looks like I'll have more of that this week as my left ankle is now on the fritz.
But, none the less, here I am.
My stomach is grumbling. I should go find breakfast. This is all so weird.

Ah, Tendinitis!

Yeah, I looked into the Wii Fit because my friends have it and it comes with lots of cool games and neat features.
Nintendo claims that the board can handle up to a 600 pound person. However, it will only give weight up to 330 pounds. This is up from the original specs. They added 30 pounds before releasing it to the American market.
There is talk that the new Wii Fit Plus will include a balance board that can go higher. Talk is cheap. The balance board is being used for lots of games, so, hopefully, Nintendo will get over themselves and realize that fat people spend money, too. Maybe we should send Nintendo copies of Wall-E so that they can prepare for the future!
As for me, one of the purchases I made was a program called EA Sports Active. This is a fitness program. It can use the balance board, but it's not required. It has a lot of the same features as Wii Fit, but with a more "gym quality" feel to it. Whereas Wii Fit feels like a game aimed at kids - because it is. It's aimed at kids and families, trying to make exercise easy and fun.
Even the "Active" is a victim of this "mental weight limit" - the highest weight I can enter in a profile is 300 pounds. My treadmill only lets me enter 400. Someday these limits won't matter to me .........
My first work out really did bother my knees - too much running and jumping. And, I started hobbling around Tuesday as my right ankle started hurting (heavy grocery bags probably didn't help) and then kicked into full tendinitis by last night. I've stayed off it all day today. But, I've had to cancel plans for today because I can't drive. I will likely have to cancel for tomorrow and Sunday, too.
Tuesday, with my ankle starting to bother me, I did about 25 minutes of cardio boxing on the Wii with Active. That was fun! I built a little work out and it was pretty challenging - but not deadly. My biceps are still a little sore today. If I could stand for terribly long, I'd do more!
So, yeah, so far I like the Wii and EA Sports Active combo. I still need to figure out more ways to change and tailor the work outs and as I lose weight, that may not matter as much. (Currently, me running in place or jumping is sheer hilarity!) I think I still will use the treadmill here and there, maybe once or twice a week once I get all of this ramped up. The cool thing is that I can include those workouts in the Active software!
Great stuff! Once my ankle is better - more working out! Until then, I will be good on food! I've been good all week.
You prolly already know this, but just in case- don't get the wii fit balance board thingie- it can only handle 250lbs. What a gyp, huh? "Get fit, but only if you're not TOOO fat."
