Wii myself healthy

I love my wii. We saved up and bought one in 2008 the day after thanksgiving, and then for Christmas that year we saved up and bought the Wii Fit. I was so excited, I knew that I really wanted to get in shape and lose weight and I had hoped that this would give me a little extra umph. It did, I used the Wii Fit daily, and enjoyed playing the games on it and learning some yoga poses. After the first of the year (2009) I signed up and participated in the New You Bootcamp, and used my wii to help me get my cardio in. I also started going to the gym and had some personal training sessions to learn some other exercises to do. But then I got pregnant, which was one of the main reasons for my desire to lose weight, and I thought that I would keep up with some sort of workout routine, but complications and fear of something going wrong with my pregnancy hindered that. So luckily with my pregnancy, I only gained about 26 lbs, which I've now lost all of that but 1 lb to date. Now it's almost 3 months post baby and a new year so I'm back at it. It seems that last year was the year of fitness games for the Wii. There was Wii EA Sports Active, which we just purchased yesterday, a few other games like Jillian Micheal's games (which I had trouble getting the game to register my movements), the personal fitness coach (which seemed a lot like the Wii Fit and my husband and I didn't purchase), Wii Fit Plus, which I am enjoying the set up your own routine part so that I don't have to go back out and pick my next yoga pose, Your Shape, which came out toward the end of the year, and I was lucky enough to be chosen to host a house party through houseparty.com to receive a copy of the game to share with friends and family and have a party to try out. A party game called Just Dance also came out last year, and while it doesn't have a workout label, it does make you work up a sweat. I'm hoping that with the help of Wii EA Sports Active, Wii Fit Plus, Your Shape and Just Dance, it will assist me in my weight loss and fitness goals. I'm participating once again in the Bootcamp and love the videos that SparkPeople has online, plus I have a few other workout videos to do at home too. (Bollywood Booty videos are really fun and they also work up a sweat, and I'm hoping to do 30 Day Shred).
