Okay, it’s official – I have the best husband in the world!  After expressing quite a bit of interest in my mom’s Wii, he’s bought me one!  What a dear!  And what a great surprise!  We spent all of last night playing as a family.  My hamstrings are a little bit sore today, but we had a blast!  I think I burned enough calories to eat 2 tbsp. of mayo, LOL.

Seriously though, my husband’s purchase also indicates my serious need to get in shape!  His purchase of a Wii and Wii Fit Plus is meant to essentially replace a gym membership, so I’ll mostly be doing cardio.  I love that the hula hooping doesn’t require a hoop!  The hip movements are far larger than a regular hoop workout involves, but there’s no danger of hitting my little lovies with my wildly swinging hoop in our small living room.  Total bonus.

I’ve also had some problems keeping my children occupied while I exercise without clinging to my legs and crying, and they like to watch the action on the t.v. screen – it’s more like a cartoon movie for them, so they’re happier while I workout.  So if there’s any Wii exercising mama accountability group…let me know!  I’m in .
