A new twist on date night

We got a Wii as a family gift for Christmas and love it. Everybody wants their turn. Shortly after Christmas we invested in Wii Fit. Our New Years resolution is to exercise regularly.

If we can get the boys down at a decent hour we sneak down stairs to have a "Wii Fit date". It has been really fun for us to exercise and laugh at each other on a regular basis. This is us supposedly doing the warrior pose. So far neither one of us has lost any weight, but we are sure it is because our excess is being turned into muscle. "Wii" will keep you posted on our progress.
