Isn’t it just a bit insulting that Wii Fit uses a giant pig to track how much time you’ve spent exercising.  Yeah, I know its supposed to be a “piggy bank”, but pig and exercise just don’t seem to go together in a positive way (and I’m all about the positive as you know).

Anyway, I hit 20 hours on the Wii Fit this morning, so as a reward, my piggy bank turned from Bronze (which you get at 10 hours) to Silver.  Apparently when I hit 40 hours it will go gold.  As to whether or not its working, who knows.  After 20 hours over 40 days I’m down about 15 pounds (still have a good 15-20 more to lose though).  The strength training and the yoga are actually pretty decent, but the arobics stuff seems to be increasingly lame.  Despite the fact that I have absolutely no rhythm at all, I’ve been able to earn the “calorie torcher” status for advanced step.  Unfortunately, advanced step doesn’t seem to be much more than walking, since the fit board doesn’t represent much of an actual step.

As for the weight loss, I’m thinking a large part of that can be attributed to the insane diet I’ve been on for the past month.  Man do I miss carbs and candy.
