Game night & our first experience with the Wii

Last night we were invited to a game night with our fellowship group from church.  One of the couples were hosting at their house, so we lined up for Kileigh to go to Kevin's parents house for the night.  Kevin's dad came to pick her up after work and then we had dinner at Portillos.  When we arrived, they were doing an icebreaker game, Have you ever......  After that, we split into a few groups.  Some people went upstairs and did the Wii cow racing, another group was in the kitchen playing Skipbo, and my group played a couple hands of yahtzee.  I got to try my hand at the cow racing before we left. 

We actually got our own Wii yesterday and I am looking forward to trying all the games out and seeing how everything works.  Since I had the house to myself this morning with Kileigh was at Grandma and Grandpa's house and Kevin was at work, I decided to try my first workout.  I wanted the Wii Fit Plus and Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2010, so Kevin picked those up when he got the Wii consule.  I tried the Ultimate 6 resolution on the Jillian dvd.  I think that must have been a mistake because right off the bat, I had to run for 5 minutes.  I don't know the last time I worked out, let alone ran.  There was jumping jacks, pushups, crunches, jackhammer slam, etc.  After awhile I turned it off, because I didn't want to push it and injure myself or make myself so sore that I quit before I even really get started.  I think I am going go back to the Wii Fit Plus and use that initially until I start to get into my routine and see some results and then maybe go back to the Jillian beat my butt workouts. 

I am off to go bowling, Wii bowling that is.

Have a good day!
