Yesterday at Nordstrom, one of the chefs who I really like, made a comment about me needing to lose a few pounds because I sit all day in front of a computer. I am pretty sure that he was kidding, simply because he loves to pick on my “cushy desk job” that took me away from there.
However, his comment is one of those comments that make you think, that doesn’t leave you. His comment is a comment that motivates you, no matter if it was a joke or seriously stated.
Last night I began to think of what I could do to shed a few pounds, start minimizing the size of this belly. I am bored by running around an indoor track 20 times, or lifting weights or riding a bike that doesn’t move; and considering it is winter and there is snow on the ground, those are my only options. I thought of racquetball. My mom and I used to play on and off probably 11 years ago (wow!) and I really enjoyed it. Then one night, my groin started to hurt and I said no more racquetball. I wouldn’t mind starting to play again. I enjoyed playing it then with my mom, and in gym in HS. It isn’t boring and can get you moving around; definitely a good option.
I continued to think of other ideas and magically a light bulb appeared above my head with the word “Wii” right below it. The Wii, hmmm, it is supposed to get you moving around and get the blood flowing. I started to wonder if I played Wii Sports – Tennis, for say, 30 min a night, if it would have a positive affect on my health, well-being and this gut that has been starting to grow.
Is a Wii Diet, or I guess a Wii Excercise Regiment, possible? Would it really truly have possitive effects on a person’s health? There is the Jared guy, who only ate Subway for however long and lost tons of weight. I wonder if someone stuck to a strict regiment of playing the Wii, mainly Wii Sports, for 30 mins a night for say 5 days out of the week, if real results would be realized like Jared/Subway.
Hmmm. Maybe THAT is my next great idea…stay tuned.
