Yeah, I’ve been slacking off with the whole “Fighting the flab”-deal with my Wii. Things got a bit crazy when we moved at the beginning of February and I wasn’t able to play my Wii or anything else at all for over a week. After that I basically got lost and strayed from the path.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve playing plenty of video games and a lot of Wii (of course) but my concentration has drifted to “The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess”, Virtual Console-games and “Showdown: Legends of Wrestling” on the Xbox.
So I’m a little ashamed now, and I’ve decided to start all over again but go at it even harder this time. Starting tomorrow I’m gonna play my Wii, and “Wii Sports” in particular, for at least 45 minutes every day, 15 minutes before breakfast and at least 30 minutes in the evening after work. I’ll continue this for at least an entire month.
And that’s a promise!
Today’s weigh-in was a bit disappointing.
I didn’t expect to have lost much, just a tiny bit maybe. But no, I haven’t lost an ounce! It does however take the body some time to get used to moving again and the metabolism takes some time to get going. Maybe I’ll see some results next week, if not at least I’m still having fun right? 
And as I’ve already reported, my stamina is getting a lot better at least.
Also, since I got my paycheck just yesterday I haven’t really started on the japanese diet yet either (although I had a little bit of japanese food this week), and I will be expecting some results from that if from nothing else.
It struck me today how damn lame it is to report every single day of Wii-playing. Not even I am that interested in how much I play So from here on I might just do weekly summaries if anything at all. But you can all be sure that I will be playing my Wii no matter what, and at least 30 minutes of “Wii Sports” every day. No cheating, I promise!
“Mario Kart 64″ was released for the Virtual Console today! I’m ecstatic I tell you. I looove Mario Kart in all of its incarnations so I was really quick to download this one to my Nintendo Wii.
As if that wasn’t enough good news Nintendo launched the much anticipated (by me at least!) News Channel today, and it’s actually pretty neat. It looks good and its functionality is actually better than I expected. So thank you for another neat Wii-toy Nintendo.
Speaking of toys, I’ve read some rumours that my webbrowser of choice, Mozilla Firefox, may be coming to the Nintendo Wii. If there is any truth at all to that rumour I’ll be beside myself with joy. My fave browser on my Wii, how awesome is that?!
And for my workout today I opted for nothing but Boxing once again.
Here’s todays Wii-activities:

The unusual amount of movement during the past few days is definitely taking its toll on my body.
Last night I was so sore in my right shoulder that I had problems getting to sleep. I actually had to get up and rub the muscles until they were blue before the pain subsides significantly enough for me to be able to sleep. I’ve still been really sore all day at work.
But nobody likes a quitter so…

Total Play Time 01:15
My longest workout yet! Boo-yah! And get this, it was all Boxing too!
The odd thing is though, that I’m not by far as tired today as I was after my workout just two days ago. So apparently, my fitness level is improving already! Weighing in on saturday is gonna be really interesting indeed.
First thing I did tonight was hook myself up with three new Virtual Console games; “R-Type”, “Super Mario 64″ and “Gunstar Heroes”. Then I begun my workout, and here’s how it went:
Wii Shop Channel 00:11
R-TYPE 00:04
Wii Sports 00:50
Total Play Time 01:05
Naturally I don’t really count the fifteen minutes of shopping and goofing off with “R-Type” as part of my workout. Mainly Boxing today otherwise, and a short game of Tennis as well.
Total play time: 00:30
My shortest workout so far but quite possibly the hardest yet. I played nothing but Boxing today as well, but I really went at it this time. My arms were flailing like those of a madman from start to finish as I didn’t throw as many big punches as I usually do, instead opting for raining down on my opponents with lots of quick punches and combinations.
Right now my arms feel like run-over spaghetti and I’m tired as hell. But it’s a good kind of tired
Total play time 00:45
And that’s nothing but non-stop Boxing baby! Man, am I ever beat…
This morning I weighed myself and the scale showed 97 kilos. I will be weighing myself every saturday for as long as this experiment continues, rather than every single day which was my original plan. But weighing myself every day is pretty pointless really so once a week it’ll be.
I’ve now just finished my Wii-workout done entirely with “Wii Sports” and today consisted of seven or eight matches of Boxing, three games of Tennis and a run through Wii Fitness (which I by the way find very boring).
Total play time 00:49
And now I’m really beat…
OK, so I couldn’t resist giving myself a little head start on this whole slimming-with-Wii-thing.
So when I got home from work I treated myself to some “Wii Sports” in the form of two matches of Boxing and three matches of Tennis.
Total play time 0:28
I also weighed myself, although one should really weigh oneself in the morning rather than in the evening, and the scale shows 98 kilos. So that’s my starting point I guess.
Stay tuned for more Wii-workout tomorrow!
