So I've had the Wii Fit for somewhere in the neighborhood of two months, and I've lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 pounds.  That's with using it only every four or five days, plus the resumption of biking to work.  According to the damnable little animated talking balance board I'm supposed to be another 16 pounds lighter to reach "fit", which it defines as a BMI of 22.  I don't think I'm going to get there, not because it's impossible but because I expect muscle mass to offset at least some of the weight loss, and the BMI measurement isn't taking that into consideration.

Some thoughts:

--Every now and then either the Wii Fit loses its little mind or something really funky is going on with me.  On Sunday I suddenly gained 3.1 pounds.  Last night I suddenly lost 3.1 pounds.  Unfortunately when there's a large weight gain and the screen comes up with different options for me to choose to potentially explain my sudden gain, "You've lost your fucking mind" is not one of the choices.

--No matter how often I use it, sometime around the ten minute mark my trainer decides to tell me I shouldn't push myself too hard all at once.  I don't know why, but I find this demoralizing.

--I chose the male trainer because the female trainer's boobs are mildly disturbing to me.  Cleavage is not supposed to look like a four lane highway between two perfectly formed mid-sized peaks.  It's odd.  But for some reason last night for my first yoga position she showed up and said, "I'll be stepping in for your trainer for this."  He was back after that.  What the fuck?  I know he wasn't busy.

--If you lose too much weight at once you can frighten it.  I dropped ten pounds in five days a month ago, causing the program to come to a screeching halt to ask me if I was okay and to not do that again, please.

--I'm sorry, but if I can hold a plank for sixty seconds without falling over, I do not deserve the ranking of "couch potato".  I don't care how goddamn shaky I was.

--Yoga is awesome, by the way.  I'm thinking of looking up a class in the real gym I officially still belong to.  My stomach hasn't been this toned in four years.
