Just Dancin' ... Like a Turtle

Ahh, Monday ... I always try to be positive when I crawl out of bed on this the first day of the week. I must admit, if the sun isn't shining, it's pretty difficult. Luckily this morning the sun was beautiful, and after 3 straight days of beautiful blue sky and sunshine, the cold morning didn't seem quite as dreadful!
Well, I've been Wii-ing regularly, knocked Terry out (well, actually his Mii he named "Jimmy") twice over the weekend in Wii Boxing ... the bowling is a hoot, I'm struggling (well, actually my Wii "Cassie" is struggling) to beat Terry (Jimmy) and T.J. (Lane). Yesterday we were at Costco and picked up a Wii game called "Just Dance". I figured if I could dance off this weight, what could be more fun?! Well, let me tell you, many extra pounds and middle age has definitely affected my co-ordination and grace on the dance floor. I chose the "easy" setting songs to "warm up", and looked like an overweight Franklin trying to keep up with the dancer in the game. Look up "AWKWARD" in Wikipedia and there's my picture with my Wii control in my hand attemping sexy moves to Cindy Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Heck ... I'd settle for just being able to breathe and stay standing while trying to do this stuff, never mind having fun! So this game will take some time to get used to ... Terry said I should close the front curtains because the neighbours will think I'm having a stroke and call 911 ... such a KIND man!! (he of course won't even TRY the dancing) LOL I have yet to find a Wii Balance Board for my Wii Fit ... everyone has the travel bags, but no board for inside!!
So today was weigh-in day, too ... unfortunately, I stayed the same ... turtled, as we used to say at TOPS meetings. So I really need to get moving some more ... the eating's not too bad; I had a little indulgence on the weekend, but if I can just come out of my shell more often and 'Just Dance', maybe the scale will move downward next week! Wish me luck ... but please don't laugh if you drive by my house and can see me Wii-ing through the front window! Be kind!
Have a great week everyone!
