Wii Fit Plus: Bicycling Game

I was lucky enough to get a Wii Fit Plus pad and game for Christmas.  I have been working on using the Wii fit pad to help me in my weight loss journey.  So yesterday I decided to click on the bicycle  game within the Wii Fit Plus game.  Trust me… NEVER… EVER click the bicycle game.   At first it was a lot of fun.  The faster you run on the Wii Fit Pad the faster your bike goes.  I was having a lot of fun.

That is until I figured out you have to find flags.  It is not like you have to find 4-5 flags… You have to find 13.  I ran in place for 9 minutes total and thought that I was going to die.  I would have quit if it were not for Abigail…

Me:  I CANNOT do this…

Abby:  Sure you can mom don’t be silly…

Me:  I think I am going to die

Abby:  Just get it done mom

Me:  Perhaps I should just reset the Wii

Abby:  Come on mom you have to finish what you started (who taught her that and why did she listen?)

Me:  I hate this

Abby:  You will love it when it is over… just come on mom…

And so I did finish and I did not die.  It stinks when your kids throw what you tell them back into your face!  TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS WII FIT PLUS ACTIVITY!!!!!

I know you will all try it but trust me…

Wii Fit Pad: The Discrimination

So my sister in law was nice enough to bring over the Wii fit pad today.  I have to say that I love it.  It is a lot of fun.  I just have one problem with it.  It is not a game that caters to people with disabilities.  I know it is called Wii fit but can’t people with disabilities be fit?

As a preface to all of this I shattered a bone in my foot this past summer and broke 1-2 more.  I am having an awful time with it and am not able to do many exercises.  So I was excited to try out the Wii fit in hopes that my weight and pain would reduce.  The pain is greater and my weight is yet to be determined.  I just wish that when developing the Wii they had thought of other people.  You know people without the perfect body, people with disabilities.

I do like it though and I am hoping that my kids get me one for the up coming holiday.  You know the one.  MOTHER’S DAY!  The best day of all.
