Not much happening

Well over the pass couple of weeks I have bee doing very little it regards to playing the wii, engaging in some magic the gathering and anything else to be honest and with that in mind I am going to start doing more again. even though I am constantly feeling tired. As the weather is changing for the better (Yes I do have my fingers firmly crossed) I am going to start running around Kintbury as well as using the wii fit package. This in the short term will make me even more tired but in the long run I feel I should be able to increase the stamina which should allow me to cope better with the day. might even post my route and the times I manage to do the route in. I haven’t been ice skating as much as I usually do as I have managed to find excuses not to go which will change next weekend as this Sunday is fathers day and Clare, myself and Ryan are going out for a meal. I am planning on creating the list of the Magic: the gathering shadowmoor cards tonight as well as continue in writing a simple website which is a little CRM and a little equipment organiser.

Well that is for today I shall write some more on here either tomorrow or the beginning of next week.

The bank holiday weekend

It was the first bank holiday weekend in May which is nice as it means it is getting closer to my Birthday, this year I will be turning to the not so grand old age of 26. Doesn’t really mean anything bar I am getting
older but definitely not wiser. I have been playing the Wii Fit game with the Wii balance board and as I thought I had natural balance. I was slightly wrong, I lean on my heals and slightly on my left foot. I am starting to fit this but it is a slow task as you have to be constantly aware of how you are standing, but I must say the whole idea of keeping fit on this board is great.

Also this bank holiday weekend myself and Clare decided to go into Newbury and watch the crafty craft event which is held by the Newbury Round Table. The ground was it usual muddy self but the sun was shining and the crowds were out so myself and Clare had a quick look round grabbed some lunch and headed to the pub to meet up with Karen and Paul. At the end of yesterday we picked Ryan up from school having just spent 5 days in Germany.

More wii-ing

Well I know and as my dad would and has said I am completely sad for going out at 23:30 to pick up a Wii Fit game with the balance board when it was first released at 00:00 on the 25th of April.

Now I have only played on the device for 30 minutes but from what I have done on it I must say it has alot of proteintal. Admittedily as 00:30- 01:00 my balance and general reaction time isn’t great I did quite well on some of the yoga and physical exercise tasks. The aim of wii fit is to act as an additional aid to keep you fit. It asks for your height and calculates your wieght and your BMI. so far my aim is to get my BMI down to 23.44 from 23.88 so I not to far to go but wii fit suggests my BMI being around the 22 mark.

More on Wii Fit and the balance board over the weekend when I have had a chance to play with it a little more
