44th President.. and Wii Fit

I'll only take a moment to say, I watched the inauguration. I won't lie, I was hoping for some sort of miracle and McCain would step in last minute. Yeah yeah, whatever. Just going to be a long 4-8 years, and the idea of socialism terrifies me.

That's all I'll say on that, who needs politics in a blog?!

Russell got me the WiiFit for Christmas, we finally got it last week. We set up our Mii's, and we were both 'obese' and had about the same BMI--yet some reason I look a lot bigger than him, and I'm taller.. what gives?!
Anyway, he has been doing it every day after work (the exercises).. I just started last night. I did 25m, and I even got a perfect score in the rock & row or something. Lot of fun, I like it! I also like stamping that I worked out on the calendar, and seeing it on the screen so I can point at it and go "See! See! I did something!".
Russell has lost 5lb already (in 1 week!) and I lost 1lb, even though I didn't do anything yet. It was proud of me. ;)
I think the balance measuring thing is fascinating.
I have bad balance, but I knew that. The yoga tree position, balancing on my left leg-- absolutely no problem. Then I swap to my right leg and it's like my leg is made of jelly.. and WiiFit even said it can tell I'm shaking and told me tips to help--which did kind of help. It says it can help you balance your pelvis, which I definitely need--so here's for hoping.
I started using myplate again yesterday, I did really good up until bedtime. I ate 1/2 bag of popcorn, a packet of Milano cookies, and a banana.. over what I "meant" to eat yesterday. Garr.

Oh and Benjamin Button WAS a good movie!! It really was reminescent of Forrest Gump-in a good way. It didn't make me cry, but it had its ups and downs. It was terribly, terribly long. I wouldn't have mind that at all if I was at home sans bra. But being in the theater that long definitely sucked. I definitely recommend the movie though, interesting concept.

And United States of Tara, new Showtime show about a woman with multiple personalities and a family-- pre-tty goood (Larry David style).
