3 things: In my august (more like September) years i need to exercise; I already play video games; and I'm motivated by geekiness; So, i bought a Wii with the Wii Fit board and have been using it daily for 3 weeks. All despite the questionable statistics that say that 60% of Wii Fit purchasers use it several times and then give up (if that were true there'd be a lot more Wii Fit boards on Craigslist). I really get into it. I've done yoga before and had it fade away, fitness clubs and let them lapse and I just don't hike enough for regular toning.

When i did the Lighten Up 4 Life challenge i lost 22 lbs by using the SparkPeople website that helped me keep track, chart and anticipate changes. People don't much motivate me except perhaps my dear sweet helen, and self-help books are for people to make money on. Looking good can't motivate me because it's too late. Me? I am a child of the office - charts and games and understanding bosses motivate me and the Wii Fit has all of this. So, for now at least, it's working and i look forward to it every day. It keeps me focused on my balance, posture and weight and i get to see the little progress that minutiae provides.

So we'll just see how long this lasts and whether my mental health improves or just becomes more simplified in the process...
