The Wii/office/exercise room is nearly ready. Lovely golden yellow paint on the walls, brilliantly white ceiling, new light fixtures, new outlets and switches, a new area rug (waiting in the dining room) and just a little work to do on the trim to make it perfect.
We, not to be confused with Wii, set up the Wii on Sunday morning and created our Mii's. I am tall of course and the little Mii does adjust its' body size when you step on the balance board. After the mean part where it makes comments about your ability to stand balanced and asking if you trip much when you walk, the fun part begins. Hula Hoop, Step Aerobics, Slalom Skiing, Ski Jumping and Golf and it was FUN and sweaty. You have to sweat to see results. I am looking forward to a more toned me and Mii.

Who Would Have Known
GREAT weekend!
Even after telling Members for years that all extra activity counts as Activity POINTS I have really never taken the time to count my Activity POINTS until my new exercise goal went into effect on June 1, 2009.
On Saturday, walked briskly for 40 minutes (Activity POINTS value 2), then completed the general weekly housekeeping. After that, DH and I went out for a massage and then to the paint store. I sprang the "stopping at the paint store" on him after we were in the car on our way to the massage.
I had the colors picked from their website but needed new painting supplies and some friendly painting advice from the guy at the store. We went home and prepared the room for painting. DH did the "cutting in" and I manned the roller. We had 2 coats of primer on the two formerly accent colored walls in 90 minutes (Activity POINTS value 6). Cleaned the tools, drank water and relaxed a little while.
After dinner, I mowed the lawn (Activity POINTS value 2).
10 Activity POINTS on Saturday and 6 more on Sunday earned with more painting and horseback riding. I earned 16 Activity POINTS for the extra stuff I did this weekend. This makes me so much more invested in weekend chores.
I have plans for another coat of paint for the ceiling tonight and then a couple of days to cure before the wall color goes on. Painting = Activity POINTS, who would have known?
