I’ve got to confess that this has been another week of supreme slacking. Until today’s weigh-in, my feet had not touched my balance board for a full week.

The numbers are telling: My BMI has sneaked up from 23.36 to 23.62, my weight has gone from 154.1 to 155.9, and my Wii Fit Age has shot up from 29.7 to 34. I’m now teetering on the brink of being officially overweight.

Yes, these are lazy, lazy times indeed. There is some hope: I have almost unlocked all of the exercises in the game, at which point I will permit myself to move on to Wii Fit Plus. That should provide some motivation.
