Check out that BMI and Weight!! I made it into the "normal" range! WOW - did I really lose 1.8 pounds in one day? Hmph. Helps to pee, poo, and not drink anything while wearing really light clothes ;)

BODY TEST
Center of Balance - 52.1L:47.9R
(sigh) I thought I had done better. Oh well - it'll come!

Basic Balance
Couldn't get through Round 4 - I need to keep working towards getting through all 5.

Prediction Test
This is the one I bombed the other day. Slammed right into the second wall I saw. Did the SAME thing today! Argh! I think I may need some kind of warm up because my balance really sucks when I start in the morning. Jumping jacks? Jog? I'll have to figure something out.

Wii Age: 59
Yeah, yeah. We could have Predicted that.

Soccer Heading
Scores: 102 - 190 - 166 - !278! - 191
I told myself "focus on the balls of your feet". Wow! I could feel it coming more naturally! Where I didn't have to think so much to move left and right, and my body was automatically moving to avoid the baddies and to connect with the goodies. That 278 blew me away. I *loved* the way it felt when my body was doing the right thing. I can't wait until this is my normal mode!

Tight Rope
Scores: 1:13.26 - 1:05.85 - !56.71! - 1:12.70 - Ouch! - (phone call) - 1:17.41
I broke the 1 minute barrier! Woohoo! And on that rep, I decided to hold the remote in my Left hand... Hmmm??! I've been doing that more now - carrying things on the left. After that rep, I got greedy and tried moving faster. I discovered that when you are unbalanced before a jump over The Biter, you will jump right off the rope. Makes sense. (laugh) Then I kept screwing around trying to go faster to break that 1 minute again and bombed another two times. Greedy, greedy.

Had to take a phone call with Apple for my iMac, and wound up on the phone for an hour and a half. That's another story - ask if you're curious. I tried moving around and doing things while on the phone. When I sit at my desk, I find my lower legs get ice cold and then they are really hard to warm up. I'll have to go soak my feet in hot water. I'm guessing that's not good for the balance games either and I tried jumping around and scrubbing them back and forth on the carpet to warm them up. Bad circulation? I'll have to keep an eye on that too. Don't want to become like Judie with ice water in my veins. I'll wind up in Florida too.

Anyways, I get back into it after the call. Focused on keeping my head on straight and my COB firmly in place for my last rep.

Bubble Balance
Scores: 1096 - 1167 - 1000 (ouch!) - 1176 - 1183
Ahhh... the rainbow... so close... My new mantra = "Feel Feet!" I could also feel it in my upper thighs and core. There is a smoothness of movement that I'm striving for. I didn't see the rainbow this time, but I know it's there now :) and I'm determined to grab it!

I also definitely feel a surge of happiness right after working out. It evaporates after sitting on my butt and blogging for 20 minutes. I'm curious about that and how to get more and sustain it. I'm sure there is something Freudian about that but try not to go there you perverts! I also don't want to become addicted to it and turn into an exercise junkie. But it is something to understand and pursue - endorphins, right?

(sigh) happiness. Love my Wii. Love Mii. Love you too - happy Wii-ness to all :)
