WII’ll It Get Me FIT In Time For the Wedding?

WII’ll It Get Me FIT In Time For the Wedding?

Guess what Mr. Lovebird just got his hands on??? Wii Fit!

We’ve been anticipating its release for months now. Mr. Lovebird said there we about 50 people a head of him at Best Buy lined up before the store opened, and he got one of the last ones. He said “it wasn’t as bad as before.” By “before” he meant the times (yes, more than once) we camped out through the night to get the actual Wii system when it was released in the winter of 2006. What can I say, he’s a techie and I love him for it. Apparently, it’s sold out in most places and you’ll be lucky to get your hands on one since it was just released in North America today.

With about 6 weeks until the wedding, I’m not sure if I’ll see results, but I’m gonna try to use it everyday! When we first got the Wii, we used it constantly and my arms would be sore from all the bowling and tennis. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Anyone else planning on getting Wii Fit to help them get in shape for the wedding?

my guy had a reserve on it at his local game store, so he should be going to pick it up today. i am very excited about it, but since we’re still doing a long distance thing, i won’t be able to get into a routine with it as of yet.

ooh, but you should check out “weski”. it uses the balance board and i think you can even use your miis in it go skiing.

I want it sooooooooooooo badly! My fiance claims he’s going to have one for by the time I get home today…. Considering he never pre-orders gams, I highly doubt this (I had to be the one who dragged us out of bed early one Wednesday morning last summer to get a Wii when I couldn’t stand waiting any longer for the Pirates of the Caribbean game)

We got the game this morning. Looking forward to playng with it when I get home today. This game is pricey though… about $90! And it’s selling out quick. I heard it’s going for a lot on ebay right now.

i wonder if it can really substitute going to the gym or doing “real” exercises…?

I’ve already spent 40 minutes on it today. The games are fun. We also bought We Ski but I haven’t tried it out yet.

Sorry Touc!

But here’s a treat I forgot to mention in the post. Besides Mr. Lovebird being a techie, he’s also quite the bargain shopper and doesn’t believe in buying anything retail. That’s why he didn’t just pre-order it.

I totally want Wii Fit!!! I’m not sure if it could get my big butt into shape (I’m counting on spinning and kickboxing to do that) but seriously this looks like SO MUCH FUN!!!

Let me know what you think!

I want one SOOOOO bad!

I have been playing Dance Dance Revolution on my Wii a lot lately and that’s been pretty good exercise but I really want the Wii Fit.

Maybe I’ll get lucky and I’ll be able to find one somewhere.

Yep, already on pre-order from Amazon.

Just hope I keep it up … I feel Mario Kart may be more tempting

Mr. Plumeria: [does weird waving balancing act while grinning broadly]
Me: Huh?
Mr. P: [stands in awkward yoga pose]
Me: Huh?
Mr. P: [exasperated] It’s Wii Fit day… don’t you remember???

… yeah, we got one this morning too.
