I used Wii Fit the day before Christmas for the first time and though it felt easy at the time, I recalled noticing the pain the next two days. Well, 18 days later I used it again. The first positive I can note is that I&#8217;d lost weight (just 4 pounds or so&#8230;but I&#8217;ll take it). My BMI also went down slightly, too.<\/p>\n<p>But I worked out a bit more this time around, exploring new exercises in the strength, yoga, and aerobics sections.<\/p>\n<p>OUCH!<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s this hula hoop exercise that was fun at the time but, damn, I&#8217;ve been in pain for 3 days.

Why do &#8220;news&#8221; agencies conduct such silly polls non-stop? Who cares which president you&#8217;d rather have a beer with? Who cares what housewives thought about Michelle Obama&#8217;s election night dress? It seems that with 24\/7 news coverage available now, they just grab any headline they can and run with it. I think I miss the days when you just had the morning news, noon news, 6 o&#8217;clock news and 11 o&#8217;clock news (the latter three being a concise 30 minutes long).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So over the weekend Randy and I went to the gym.
