Wow! I’ve only done one day of the EA Sports Active, but I’m already impressed. It was fun, it was a workout, and multiple people can play (unlike the Wii Fit). I’ve already been looking at Wii accessories to buy the pieces so that two players can play on our new game. I’ve also gone ahead and bought enough Wii controllers and numchucks so that we have 4 of each. I am acutally anxiously waiting this evening so that I can try day 2. According to the trainer, it’ll be a slightly different workout each day to keep from being boring. I’ll keep you posted!

Monday Night Contests
I’m entering a few contests before heading to bed tonight so I thought I’d share them with you guys. Before I start the list though, I wanted to tell you about a friend who is currently trying to win a contest – Trisha at MomDot has entered the contest at Classy Mommy. The contest is for a Wii and simply a popularity contest. Whoever has the most votes at the end, wins the Wii…..Why should you vote? Well even if you don’t know Trisha and aren’t a MomDot fan, you should know that if she wins, she’s going to relist it as a contest over at MomDot…so mom bloggers, voting for Trisha could give you a chance at winning a Wii! How awesome is that?
Moving on….If you aren’t participating in the MomDot Christmas Party, it’s not too late…head over and start entering.

Still Wii Fitting
I’m seriously wondering if we will be able to continue our dedication to the Wii Fit or if the newness will wear off. I have to admit that several of the people get on my nerves. I don’t like my personal trainer when she tells me I’ve gained 2.2 pounds and decides she needs to lecture me, and the boxing coach? He’s just plain rude – every time. But overall I’m aching a little so I figure there must be soem good coming out of it. But I still need to lose more weight so I’m investigating other methods including some weight loss pills and wondering does Fenterdren work? It’s one of the many options out there that I’ve found. I’m trying to just gather information. I’m not purchasing yet. Not committing. I’m giving the Wii Fit time to help. (If only I had more patience.)
It’s Time to Get Fit
Wii Fit that is!! Yes, we finally landed a Wii Fit. (And even better we landed it for free as one of my mother figures bought it for me for an early Birthday and Christmas gift!!!) I’m not ashamed so I’ll share with you that I’m 28 years old…Well, may Wii age is 40!! FORTY!! Yep, that’s one way to motivate me to get to work. But I’m not sure about all of it’s determinates though as my physcially active almost 8 year old is 32! Oh yea, you read right…32..only 8 years older than I am!! And just so that the entire family’s business is aired here for the public, Becka who is 16 has a Wii Age of 31. The 16 year old is 1 year younger than the 8 year old. 
We are currently busy playing it in 20 “coin” intervals. I really hope that we stick with this. I’ve been looking for a way to get back into some sort of shape so here’s hoping the Wii Fit will help motivate me to improvement as I was not happy with the number it gave me when it told me how much I weigh (and no, that one I won’t be sharing with you).
