Wii Fit
« on: April 05, 2013, 05:23:55 PM »
I hooked the wii fit up, haven't actually used it since 2009. Funny enough, my weight has been mostly stable since that time, I've gained 7 pounds in five years. Hopefully it won't take that long to lose the weight!

I'm four pounds obese, which was depressing, and my balance has gone to poo. I dropped a 30 minute session, and my legs feel like ground hamburger.

I don't really care for the tightwalk game. I brought my skill up in the ski event, and took a lot of shoes to the head in the soccer ball bounce.

The bubble roll though? That's my poo! I went from not charting all the way up to first place! (An old roommate was a yoga instructor and set the skill bar impossibly high on all the events to be a richard.) I don't know if he just didn't like the event, or if I actually improved my balance that drastically in a half hour, but either way it made me feel like a boss.

bubble roll and tight rope were my least favorite. my favorite is/was time marathon and the snow ball fight. I haven't played in a long time though.

Got it, haven't used it yet. Perhaps soon since I cut my work hours.

Hmm, I've always considered it but never got it.  Is it worth it?  Is there an equivalent (or better) fitness type "game" for PS3?  (I know I'd have to get the "Move" stuff too).

Dweez, it's worth buying NOW, and I mean that in the used sense. I got it back when it was released on the condition that my roommates at the time would kick in. (They did not.) Previously we'd all kicked in for Sims 3 CE (I got the plumbob) so I thought they'd be good for it.

Like all excercise equipment, 99% of people will buy it, use it for a short period of time, and then put it in a closet somewhere. The path to success is consistency (I am a hypocrite.)

I never bought the PS3 because it is still cowpoo expensive. The only reason I got a 360 at launch was because I was working at CompUSA, and I made the money back in about a week. (Jesus, if I had $400 to burn now I'd probably go to the dentist)

Bubble roll is a madam after you hit the Vodak.

I did the free step at maximum pace and it made my body cry.

Autumn, Kudos to you stepping up to a poo boss.

Thanks, I really appreciate that because it was hard! She knows me too well and tried to give me the guilt trip that I usually fall for, but I held to my guns.

I'm hoping to lose weight by using my fit, joining my local pool and with the weather warming up, taking walks with my little girl.

Maybe I can regain some sanity. Maybe.

I used to have a pool. Having a pool is awesome. I liked to use weights to stay under as long as possible and just look up. Scared the poo out of my mom.

I don't even have access to a pool, just a scary ass ocean.

Your boss really does suck, and you must be a saint to put up with that poo. I had a boss who tried to write me up for being late to work. He had called me in. On my day off. After working the night shift. As soon as he said he was writing me up, I told him he wasn't, and that I quit. Then I drove home. The Night shift manager was awesome though, I loved working night shift. I made that store SPARKLE.

I do have a lot of patience. Also, some say I'm naive for it, but I try to always see the best in people I know.

What were you doing at that job that left it sparkly?

My wallet bleeds when I go to the supermarket. But that's pretty neat. Not a drop spilt on the floor.

Chicken blood is worse than cow blood.

Cow blood mops up fairly easy, chicken blood needed the blue death mix.

I never worked the butchers department, but the smell from there alone says that cow can be pretty bad, but I used to prep those chickens in bags you get at the supermarket, and those things are bless'ed rank nasty.

We'd get the boxes in, and the chickens would be in a giant bag, full of blood. This blood stank like hell.

So we'd take the chickens and put them on the sanitized workspace and douse them in the seasoning mix. Many a time I had to dump the supposedly expensive mix because some jackass would drop the chicken straight in, contaminating the entire mix. My read on the situation was that the store would be very happy to look the other way on this contamination issue, but it was one of those things you can NOT golly around on.

Then you tied off the bony wings, which would stab you. On a good day, you didn't pierce the gloves.

Then you ram a pole up the chickens ass. Generally 3 chickens to a pole, and then it's into the warp core, where you apply the gas, and cosmetic fire.

When the chickens were done cooking, you remove em from the warp core and immediately burn your hands, regardless of protective apparel. Then you slot em in the bag and heat shrink the bag closed. Then they sit in a heat lamp box until purchased/store closing.
Now this was bad, but not as bad as the butcher area of the store. The blood was thick on the floor there, from droppage, leakage, spillage, who bless'ed knows. But the floors were shiny when I was done.

I still shopped there after I quit, and occasionally the dipshit manager would yell at me for not being in uniform, it was always a joy to remind him that I had already quit, and he could golly off.

I still remember another clueless manager asking me about what hours I was available, a good six months after I quit. I wasn't even living in that town at the time and was just visiting to buy chips.

Apparently I still have the look of the wage slave because people ask me where poo is/to get something for them from the mythical "back". Always a joy to tell them no.

I had one of those on the phone naffs stop me, and when I tried to tell her I didn't work there she gave me the wait one finger. I gave her the middle finger and walked off. I wonder if she tried to get me fired.

None of this has anything to do with wii fit though, and I should learn to continue discussions in appropriate threads instead of wandering, as I do.
