Wednesday's Weight Loss - Suck-It, Wii Fit!

Wednesday's Weight Loss UPDATE:
Wii Fit Can Suck-It!


I hate using the Wii Fit. The principle behind that device is great, but it always makes me feel bad about myself. My self-esteem is naturally low enough. I don't need a plastic robot from Japan to guilt me about years of over-indulgence on Nintendo products instead of competitive sports.


Even when I was at my previous best health - a robust 175 - the Wii Fit board would groan and squeak out an "Ouch!" whenever I set my foot on it. Stupid plastic white-devil! This is because the board uses a BMI scale to judge you and your fitness level. Even though I'm tall for a Mexican (5' 9"), my BMI requires me to be under 169 pounds. I've rarely broken 170! And that required round-the-clock diligence that was time-consuming, frustrating and highly inconvenient to having a life!


As of yesterday, Tuesday, May 17th, 2011, I have maintained a normal BMI for a week! The following chart shows my overall progress since starting the 4HB program. Each picture is from the iFitness iPhone app

I started slowly adding step from the Four Hour Body since January.

Suck it, Wii Fit!

I haven't entirely jumped into every detail of the 4HB plan. I've gone at my own pace and slowly added easy steps into my daily routine. I've had tremendous results and have more time to spend wedding planning, working on projects and writing. It's made great improvements in my stamina. I've been enjoying those at Mix-Martial Arts class. 

I still love Nintendo, but as far as their exercise program, that condescending, plastic white-devil can suck-it!

Thanks, Timothy Ferriss!
