Wii Fit and Moving Craziness

For Easter Sam surprised me with a Wii fit. I was so excited because I've been wanting one ever since I got him the Wii for his Christmas/Birthday present. Plus I just can't get motivated to go to the gym...I tell myself that its too far of a drive. And I just feel silly when I go because I don't really know what I'm doing. :) But now I can work out in the comfort and privacy of my own home. Yay!! So far I really like it. I start everyday with a yoga routine and then move on to aerobics and strength training. And then it also has several games you can play like skiing, hula hoops, walking the tight rope, etc. Its a lot of fun! Here are a few pics of Sam doing his Wii workout.

Lunges

Push Ups

The Plank

Ab Twist
(it really works cause I'm super sore today from doing this)

I do wish that the program would let you make your own routine though. Because the way it works is that you pick one position and then do it but then you have to stop, pick up the controller and pick another position, do that one, and then stop again and pick another, and so on. So it isn't a constant routine. So it would be nice to pick 10 or so different positions and do them continuously. But overall it is a good workout and I am liking it.

As for getting ready for our big move...things are stressful. We are still waiting to talk to the movers but hoping to get an appt with them next week. That way we can start figuring out when we need to ship our stuff, find out how long it will take (hopefully not 3 months like we've been told), when we have to ship our car, and when/how to book our plane tickets, etc.

There are some days when I really start worrying about all these things we still have to do and figure out (what stuff to take and not to take or how we are going to live for 3 months with just a suitcase) when we are leaving in early June. And I'm really scared about our two kitties who won't be able to travel with us in the plane cabin (which I'm really not happy about) but have to be put in the cargo hold of the plane. And as some of you know, my baby Tommy is not going to like that much. Bello will probably be ok since he's a pretty easy going cat. But Tommy is probably the most particular and finicky cat ever. He doesn't handle change well and requires lots of extra love and attention from his mommy. :) So I am really worried about him. Ugh...moving stinks sometimes ya know. So please keep us and our boys in your prayers as we get all this figured out.

Bello and Tommy....best buds
