Ok, you guys, I’m not sure what has been going on… call it a senior moment (except I’m only going to be 38 next week), call it a blonde moment (except my hair is black), call it being oblivious and stoopid (yes I know that’s spelled wrong – this mistake warrants misspelling).
For the past 3 weeks, or however long I’ve had the Wii Fit, I’ve been doing it backwards!
How is that possible, you ask? Well, when my dad and I were setting it up, I assumed that the power button on the balance board needed to face the t.v. so that it could “connect” to the Wii system. Seems logical enough, right?
Never did it cross my mind when I was doing step aerobics and it wasn’t registering my feet correctly, unless I missed a step and did the wrong foot. It didn’t dawn on me when I was trying to do the balance bubble game and I kept having to shift my weight in the opposite direction from the way I wanted my Mii to go (almost like a mirror). Not even when I was doing the EA Sports inline skating and had to lift the opposite leg whenever I wanted to avoid hay bails.
Ugh!
I’m not sure how or why, but all of a sudden, this morning at 7am, it occurred to me that maybe I had the balance board backwards!
All of this time I never noticed the little “Wii” that was imprinted on the board (and facing the wrong direction). I can’t begin to tell you how much of a fool I feel like. But I guess I just did, didn’t I?
The good news? I’m doing WAY better on all of the games now. My balance wasn’t as bad as the Wii thought, now that I’m facing the right direction.
