Believe it or not, this has been a pretty productive week. By removing a variety of distractions from my daily life, I was able to dramatically move many of my projects at the office forward and to make progress on many different fronts, too.
For example, I began working out a little bit again this week. Actually, I started playing around on my Wii Fit Plus last Saturday, but I managed to meet the recommended 30 minutes daily of exercise for each day this week. In fact, on most days I exceeded the 30 minute mark (though I wasn’t trying to – I was just trying to beat these little mini games). Today marks my ninth day in a row of getting at least 30 minutes in on the Wii Fit Plus daily and I’ve actually lost about 6 pounds in the last week because of this increased exercise and movement. Sure, I’m at such a high weight that I can lose 6 pounds by simply reducing the amount of calories that I take in each day, but doing some of these simple workouts is not only fun – it helps to burn excess calories, too. I think that is the type of person that the Wii Fit Plus was designed for – those people, like me, who are too rushed to drive to a gym in the morning and who are too exhausted for a full scale workout at night. This little gaming device is made for those of us who need to get our workouts in by hook or by crook. Or, in this case, by video game.
Oh, hey. I’m looking to connect with some people on the Wii friend connect, so if anyone is interested, let me know! I’ve had this Wii for three years and I’ve only connected with my Mom (earlier today) and one of my friends from college (about a year or so ago). I’m not entirely sure how the Wii friend connect works or what the benefits are, but there has to be some benefit to it, right? Anyway, if you’re interested let me know!
My roommate and I also completed a few very minor home improvements this week, too. We took down the disgusting, busted venetian blinds that were hanging in our living room and replaced them with some drapes that I picked up on clearance at Wal-Mart. Also, my roommate went around puttying up some of the holes in the walls of this townhouse. Unfortunately, our landlord never really took care of this place so we’re stuck with a place that, for the balance of our lease, really needs some work done on it. But that’s okay – it’s fun doing little home improvement projects.
As I’ve already racked up my 30 minutes for today, I’m going to spent some time this afternoon relaxing. Sure, I’ve got some projects that need to be attended to, but I’m going to take some time and maybe sit out in the backyard and soak up some of this sun. One of my readers sent me an anthology to review for JerseySmarts.com so I’ll probably begin reading through it while I’m in the backyard.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!
