Short night :)

Wii Fit Time: 32 mins
Games: Training Plus, Aerobics

Now, to see if I can fix my desktop *knocks on wood*

Not Great, But Not Bad

Not as active this weekend as last, but still better than the 15 mins I’ve been pulling off lately :P

Off Game: Intu-Flow Beginner

Wii Fit Time: 30 mins
Games: Training Plue, Aerobics, Balance

I managed a perfect game in Rhythm Parade on Advanced :D I finally figured out the misses weren’t missed steps, but accidentally moving one of my hands with the other (I think). It’s hard for me to consider that a miss, but I suppose if someone’s doing it intentionally “CHEAT” isn’t motivational *lol*

Computer still down. It’s kind of killing me that this week I didn’t really feel like playing WoW. Now that I can’t, it’s all I want to be doing *sigh*

I also updated the look on my Mii, just for fun. It still looks like me, sort of, but me during the five to ten minutes my hair is likely to stay out of the ponytail :P

Lazy

Short night tonight. Had fun hanging out with family today, and then came home and continued to fail to get my computer to start :(

So, now I don’t want to do anything except watch a movie and eat popcorn :P My Wii will complain at me tomorrow, I imagine.

Wii Fit Time: 15 mins
Games: Training Plus

Long Day is Long

Today felt like a Monday, even though it was a Friday, and pretty much sucked top to bottom.

Anyway, it’s over *lol* I didn’t feel like doing exercise that looked like exercise, so I played the games rather than doing a routine. I did do a longer track in Cycling, which involved keeping my weight forward to go off hills, and made by back stiff. I did a round of Super Hula Hoops to help with that and feels better. I also learned what cliffs look like on the bike mini-map, unfortunately after I rode over one to my virtual death :P

I ended with Rhythm Parade, which I am oddly fond of, given it involves marching. I tried the Advanced version, and discovered just how dependant I am on the whistle keeping pace, because they take it away from you half-way through. But I didn’t do too terrible, and I didn’t end the parade alone *lol*

Wii Fit Time: 35 mins

I spent a lot of this afternoon investigating computer display issues. Tomorrow I’m going to try and take my graphics card out, and see if cleaning it solves the problems. (In a side-note, a friend of mine suggested this about a month ago. I misunderstood what he meant needed to be cleaned, unfortunately.)

I’m a little worried about that. The plugs didn’t seem like they’d detach easily, and I have a history of breaking things like that :P I’m going to have to be careful, and see if it’s a little more self apparent once I take the screws out *crosses fingers*

I also hope this works. If it doesn’t, I’m looking at having to replace the graphics card, and finding something compatible. Dell’s suggestions were different looking cards that what I’ve got, and a different manufacturer than I’m used to. It might be worth taking it in somewhere to get the cards replace, but that’s an entirely different level of tediousness, as the computer case is too freaking huge.

But, we have family visiting in town, so I should get to see them this weekend, which will be a good thing :)

Two Times

I woke up stiff today, not really a surprise, and since I didn’t need to be anywhere right away, I went through the yoga exercises. I tried the Create Routine, which is nice because I don’t have to pause in between each exercise and select the new one. It looks like it only holds one, though, so unless there’s a hidden option to save more, I’m not sure I’ll actually use it to store a routine. More likely I’ll just pick what I want to do that day. Unfortunately, the only options are the Yoga and Strength exercises, rather than the games, so I’ll have to add those in or do the ones picked out for My Wii Fit Plus.

Later on tonight I decided to try one of the default routines, and then I played a couple of the game. I saw Rhythm Kung Fu on the list last night after I was finished, so I had to try that :D I may need to count for myself to find the rhythm, though *lol*

Wii Fit Time: 50 mins
Games: Yoga, Health, Training Plus

I also hit my very conservative BMI goal. It’s nice to see the screen give a celebration, but when my daily body tests have shown my BMI fluctuating my more than my goal each day, it’s hard not to be skeptical :P

Still, I put in a new one and decided not to have popcorn (made on the stove, with lots of oil and salt XD), so I’ll still take it as a plus.

Oh, and my computer is now working. I had to re-do the upgrade this morning. Last night’s failed, and my guess is that it was the lack of the video card drivers. So far things seem to be working out much better *knocks on wood*

Tense? You Don’t Say

So, at about 2:30 this afternoon I turned on my computer and waited for it to start up. At about 9:30, I was able to do so without entering Safe Mode.

Oddly enough, the time in between was not how I had planned to spend my day.

Anyway, in order to get it to start normally, I had to uninstall my video drivers. Prior to figuring this out, I went and bought an upgrade to Windows 7, thinking it was an OS issue. While I was there, I also bought a copy of Wii Fit Plus, which is apparently the new version included with the Balance Board now.

It has some interesting additions, including the ability to create routines rather than picking the games one at a time. Since I decided to still upgrade my OS, I put in an almost 50 minute routine, which was probably a little too ambitions, since I’d done Intu-Flow through the first half of the upgrade, since I was annoyed.

Off Game: Intu-Flow Beginner

Wii Sports: 27 min
Games: Bowling, Golf

Wii Fit Time: 49 mins
Games: Mixed Routine (Form, Health, Lifestyle, Youth)

I also added a Mii for my cat, and tormented her by dragging her out to the living room to be weighed :D

Anyway, my computer appears to have finished the upgrade, but is currently sitting on a blank screen with a cursor, and somewhere in between playing the Intu-Flow disc and finishing the Wii Fit routine, my DVD player has decided it just doesn’t want to read anything anymore.

If I wasn’t so dependant on technology, I would take a sledgehammer to the lot of them.
