Tackle It Tuesday

Tackle It Tuesday Meme
I woke up this morning trying to decide what I was going to accomplish today. My first thought of course went to my sewing room. I do have one tote bag that I need to make, but I really haven’t felt very motivated to sew the past few weeks. I will get there, just maybe not today.

Yesterday, while in Target, my daughter discovered they had a Wii Fit in the glass case of the video game aisle. Well, we just had to have it! I bought it just in the nick of time, as a couple of ladies walked in behind me and were disappointed that I had just beat them to it. Sorry ladies!

Anyway, my daughter had a friend over all afternoon yesterday and so we never had time to even check out our new Wii Fit. She convinced me this morning that we needed to open it and check it out. So, here it is, waiting to be plugged in. My tackle for today is to hook it up and figure out how it works! I’m a bit nervous, but I look at it as an investment in my health! I want it to get my off my butt!

On a more serious note, I also tackled my fear of the doctor and called this morning and got an appointment for my well woman check up. From there, I’ll be scheduling my mammogram and hopefully a bone density test as well.

    So, have you tried it out yet? And way to go scheduling appointments. I hate going, but it is a necessary evil.

    Heidi – Yep, part of staying healthy is staying on top of these doctor exams. I hate them! I used to be very good about it, but it’s been about 3 years since my last exam, I need to go!

    Audra – We put our Wii Fit to the test today and I have to say, I really am enjoying it! It comes with a lot of different activities to put a great variety into any work out.

    Lynn – I have to say, I really enjoyed the Wii Fit today! It’s got a great variety of exercises, everything from balance training and yoga to strength training and aerobics. I think, if I can figure out how to turn it on without my 12 year old helping me, I’ll continue to use it, almost daily!

    I’ll look forward to reading about your WiiFit experience. I’ve been thinking about getting one, but I’m not sure if it’ll be worth the investment for me. Make sure you blog about it!

    Christy – I plan to write a review of the Wii Fit, but I can tell you that after only two days of using it, I really think it’s worth the $90. It’s cheaper and easier than going to the gym and you don’t need any other extra equipment to go with it if you have the Wii system.
    Check back in a few day, I should have a full review done.

    Grace – Well, I don’t go back to the dentist until October, but I’m a few years behind on the well woman thing, so I’ll be glad to get that out of the way.

    Corrin – So far, I do think the Wii Fit is worth the money, although I don’t know that I’d use grocery money on it! :-D
