~You are now on Day 33 of your training~

“Good morning, Chrnocat! How did you sleep last night? Are you ready for today’s fitness test?”

Ok, I admit it. I was one of the million or so people who got Wii Fit for Christmas (amongst many other ultra-cool things) and I have to say, I am totally addicted! Could there be a more innovative game?? I think not!

Right from the moment I created my profile I was impressed. The sensors in the Wii Fit Board are amazing. Apparantly I lean slightly to the right when I stand, but nothing the Wii Fit balance training can’t fix. It also has built in scales to determine weight, and can calculate my recommended BMI based on my age and height! Wow! According to Wii Fit I’m in my Optimal Weight range (yay!) and could lose 3kg to be at the best possible BMI for my stats.

Ok! I think it is pretty obvious that I started this post before Christmas and didn’t get around to finishing until now. But I wrote so much I figured I would post anyway. Hope you *had* a Merry Christmas!

AGH! Christmas is almost here! One minute it’s a date far off in the distance – small and insignificant - and the next it’s a huge, scary event looming over my shoulder growling “Are you ready, Punk?!” I may have been rushed but I think I have all the recipients on the gift list checked off now (hail be to online shopping). Now I leave everything in very capable hands of the postal service to arrive before the big day -hopefully intact.

As it happens, like every other year, I have a wish list a mile long and a disgustingly bad habit of buying myself gifts while shopping for others. This year’s list seems to contain quite a few book requests and along with the few additions I purchased myself while pretending to seek a gift for my brother, it seems I may very soon have several tomes heading my way. Thus, to prepare myself for the onslaught of reading material and to fend off the horrendous indecision revolving around the age old question “what should I read next?,” I have made an effort to make some progress through my existing stack of books in the ‘to be read’ pile.

So, here we go again with another one of Chrnocat’s book reviews… *cue fanfare*
