Nintendo has made my weekend

Shopping List:

  1. Nintendo Wii
  2. Wii Fit
  3. Pokemon Platinum

There you go. That’s what I spent my money on. Now, I had the Nintendo Wii. I got it back around Thanksgiving when they were rare and kept it back in case I needed a great Christmas present at the last minute. The Wii Fit though I just got today and have set it up, input my height and let it weigh me and figure my BMI (too high but I think it’s doing it wrong) and then set a weight loss goal.

I also got Pokemon Platinum which has nothing to do with fitness, but everything to do with a really fun game. Now, if you’ve played Diamond or Pearl Platinum’s going to look really familiar and maybe I wouldn’t buy it new unless you were addicted, but if you played neither Diamond or Pearl then Platinum‘s a great way to get back into Pokemon.

The Wii and Wii Fit can both be hard to get out in the world. We went to two Best Buy’s and three Game Stops before finally finding it in a little Mom & Pop game store in Ames today so if you want either the Wii or the Wii Fit make your life easier and order it from Amazon. Show me some love and buy it through those links and help get me some affiliate lovin’ too if you want.

This isn’t a paid ad, both are GREAT fun. (Boom Blox is my favorite Wii game so far, but a close second is Rayman Raving Rabbids).

The hard part is I work on the road a lot so some weeks I won’t have access to the wii for exercise etc. While gone I’ll do the exercises that are in Sparkpeople (free remember?) and walk but I’ll miss the wii!

PS: Weekends will tend toward more personal posts than others. I won’t say there will be no management type posts on the weekend and I won’t say there won’t be any personal types in the week, but I’m going to try and focus them that way. Work in work week, and personal on weekends. If I bore you as a person, feel free to Mark all as Read on Mondays. My feelings won’t be hurt in the least.

PPS: Very excited about the Wii Fit. About to exercise on it now. I’ll be gone for much of this next week and the following one, but I’ll get back to you all on how I keep up with it. I know you’re glued to your collective seats!
