Friday evening BFF called me to see how I was feeling, since she’d heard about the nasty cold I was fighting. Our conversation quickly shifted to exercising, which is something I haven’t been doing a lot of lately, especially since this lingering cold has really taken away my energy.
BFF recently bought a WiiFit, and was telling me how much she loves it. She was speaking so highly of it that my mom bought one, too. Which means that I now have two places to go and use it, so I can see if it’s something I’d want to buy for myself. Since it’s a rather expensive purchase, I want to make sure it’s something that I’d really use on a regular basis, and not go the way of my Billy Blank Kickboxing tapes or my Windsor Pilates DVDs. (I’m pretty bad about jumping on the bandwagon of exercise ideas and then not following through on them afterwards).
As were were talking, BFF and I came up with a brilliant idea: We both love watching The Biggest Loser, and we both need to workout more than we usually do. So we came up with the plan that Tuesday nights would become our Biggest Loser Nights.
I’d go over to BFF’s house around 7pm and we’d do the WiiFit together. Since it’s only set up for a single user at a time, we’d take turns. I’m thinking that one of us could do crunches while the other is on the Wii, just to keep the heart rate up. After we workout, we’ll watch Biggest Loser together, feeling great knowing that we already got our exercise in.
I can’t tell you the amount of guilt I feel if I haven’t worked out before watching The Biggest Loser. It usually passes pretty quickly, but still, how can I feel good about watching other people sweat their asses off while I’m sitting on the couch “getting inspired?”
This Tuesday is our first BL Tuesday, so I’ll write more about it later in the week. I’m really looking forward to it!
