When I got Wii Fit back in May 2008, I used it every day for about four months. I lost a bunch of weight and got in good enough shape that I had abs. But then, I got bored with it since it was the same stuff over and over again and way too easy. And laziness and unhealthy eating took over and I gained back 2/3rds of the weight that I had lost.
But yesterday, Dan bought the Gold’s Gym Wii game and I gave it a shot this morning. Since I’m officially “overweight” again and out of shape, I’m gonna start slow, but it looks fun already. Boxing and a lot of cardio, something Wii Fit doesn’t have.
This isn’t about food though, to be honest. I’m not going to change my eating habits, since they’re not horrible. My main issue is being lazy. I need to be more physically active. Going to the garden on Wednesday helped remind me that it’s fun to walk around and get exercise.
It’ll probably be slow going, but I gotta work on it.
I’m a pretty broke college student, not gonna lie. All of my money goes to buying groceries for the house. I also used to be addicted to my cell phone. Unfortunately, I couldn’t pay the bill a month or so ago, so I haven’t had a cell phone.
At first it was weird: I was a serious texter and internet user. I would check my email like 10 times a day just to see if I had something new. My texting habit was up to about 1,000 sent messages a month. And having had that all go away, I felt naked. I stopped even bringing my phone so I didn’t know what time it was either.
After a month of this, I’ve stopped missing the damn thing. I’m even tempted to not get it turned back on until I actually get money this fall. I don’t miss feeling the need to constantly check my email, to pick up the phone, to look something up on the internet. It’s kind of freeing.
There are a few things I miss though: texting while pooping at work, using my phone as an alarm (which I guess I could still do) and being a font of knowledge when it comes to settling an argument.
Things I don’t miss: everything else, honestly.
