It's Wii Fit Time!

Dear Wii Fit --

I love you. I really do. You're actually pretty fun and, while I don't get quite as good of a workout as I do with aerobics or Cage, you're a nice change of pace. I've got to tell you, though, that I also hate you.

I hate that you laugh at me. I hate that you make my Mii look like a basketball with tiny arms and legs. I hate that you scold me. I *really* hate that you groan when I step on you. You're rude. You're obnoxious. And if you were a real person, you definitely would NOT be my friend.

That being said, my hate for you is a pretty good motivational tool. I want to see that basketball reduce in size. I want to make you proud of me. I want you to cheer for me when I lose weight, rather than make fun of me when I step on you.

So, it's quite the love/hate relationship that we've got with each other. It's a good thing that you don't live at my house. Since you live with J, we'll just have to settle for seeing each other on the weekends. You know, on my non-workout days -- those two precious days that I get each week. Don't get me wrong -- I'll still be using you to get in a little exercise...or at least to play some balance games.

Perhaps we'll eventually reach a mutually satisfying place in our relationship. You know, one where you and I are actually happy to see each other. Until then, I guess you'd better flex your groaning and laughing muscles, because we have a date this evening!

Love,

Meg
