35th Birthday

March 12, 2009 - Posted by danielle

Today is my birthday!  I am now officially 35.  Although my Wii fit age says I’m 41, I’m hoping to drop that within a week or so.

Yes, I have my Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!  HB got me a Wii for my birthday, but he gave it to me early.  It was actually here the night that Galadriel died.  He thought it would be a good distraction.

So, over Spring Break – which I just had last week – I played some MarioKart.  AND right at the end of my break, my b-day present from my parents arrived.  They got me a Wii Fit!  (which is how I know my current Wii fit age)

I’ve already unlocked super-hula hoop (6 min), advanced step and free step, boxing, advanced snow slalom (balance), the bubble balance game, the penguin balance game, and the snowboarding balance game.  I like the balance games the best, but I do the aerobic games to actually get a workout.  I’ve also unlocked some strength training and yoga stuff, but I really suck at those, so I’m leaving those for later.

On the yoga, you have to keep your center of balance in this little yellow circle and it detects when you are swaying.  My “trainer” tells me that I’m swaying and that I should use my core muscles to hold my position.  yeah…. core muscles, I have those, right?  ;-)

HB and I are going out to supper tonight.  We’ve nixed the Zelo thing, since we’ve had a lot of unexpected expenses recently.   So, we’re headed to Outback.  yummmmmm.  steak.

And I made the chocolate chip cheesecake for us over the weekend.  It is pretty good.  I think I might have overbaked it just a tad, because it is a tiny bit drier than I remember.  But it is still pretty dang good.

Well, I hope things are going well for you.  Take care, Danielle

    I just wanted to stop by and wish you a happy bbirthday!

    I don’t personally own the Wii Fit, but I have a few friends that do, and I love playing it. I always thought dodging the panda bear heads was hilarious. Leave it to the Japanese to put silly graphics in their video games. ;-)

    I think my Wii fit age was 29. Hopefully I can get better with time.

    Doing that yoga stuff is difficult. I never realized how much I actually swayed when I was doing it.

    Hope you enjoyed that steak and chocolate chiip cheesecake. Mmm…that sounds really good.

    Happy birthday!!!!! I played Wii when I was visiting friends and am a little happy I don’t have it. I imagine it can get pretty addictive. Have fun with the Wii Fit. Hope your steak was amazing.

    Hey, girl! I don’t know if you remember me from FCHS, but we used to hang out a bit a LONG time ago. I found your blog via an email that Shaunna forwarded to us both. How are you??? I love that I stumbled upon your address so we could catch up!
