The yo-yo continues to yo, and then yo again. Now I’m down about two pounds and again on course for breaking the 170 barrier? But will it happen? The last time I got close I suddenly gained a bunch of mystery weight. I’m not holding my breath that it will happen soon. If for no [...]

Day Nineteen: Tragedies
I gnash my teeth in lamentation. It appears we are in the midst of an plumping trend. Perhaps yesterday’s debauchery is catching up with me. I may need to step up my efforts this week.
For what it’s worth, the Wii Fit age is down. I was slightly better at standing perfectly still today than I have [...]
Day Eighteen: Hedonism
I didn’t weight myself on Wii Fit today. Instead, here is a picture of a walrus.
Since I didn’t weight myself, I didn’t get a Wii Fit age. Let’s just say it was 21. Here is a picture of me when I was 21.
It was a day of rest for EA Sports Active. Therefore I didn’t [...]
Day Seventeen: She Stoops to Conquer
After a couple of days of curious embiggening, things have finally taken a downturn. I was alarmed by the sudden hump, but pleased to see that overall my weight is down about a pound from last week. I suppose the downside of weighing yourself everyday is that you have a tendency to to overreact to [...]
Day Sixteen: Muffled Footfalls
Curses and double curses, I forgot to take a picture of my weight change since last time. The balance board never forgets, but she never lets you go back and fix your mistakes either. You have to live with what you’ve done – forever. So I’ll need to use the graph to illustrate that I’ve [...]
Day Fifteen: Mysterious Expansion
The balance board began today’s Wii Fit session with a strangely formatted bit of advice. An ill omen?
Thanks balance board, but I live in San Francisco where it is neither warm nor cold. It is, at all times, a tepid grey purgatory, just the way I likes it. I’m sure I’ve got nothing to worry [...]
Day Fourteen: Lunge-a-palooza
Gadzooks! Could at be that I’m not far from breaking into the 160’s? Whenever there’s such a major change from day to day I’m always inclined to think that it’s just a fluke. But here on the cusp of something that feels like a milestone, I want to believe.
No such luck with the Wii Fit Age. [...]
Day Thirteen: Unlucky Legs and the Urban Juror
The weight’s up by less than half a pound. I’ve alerted the media.
The Wii Fit Age has let me maintain the illusion that I’m still in my twenties for just a little bit longer. The ennui is terrific.
Today commemorates the thirteenth workout of the project. An auspicious anniversary! Is it full of portents and omens?
I [...]
Day Twelve: Jogging with the Kitty Kats
No change in weight today. That’s better than an increase. I’m now within 1 BMI point of the normal threshold. That sounds really close, but it’s actually about 7.5 pounds away. Or, roughly 4% of me that needs to dissolve away before the balance board will stop playing the tubby elephant trumpet.
My Wii Fit Age [...]
Day Eleven: Curse of the Temptress
Yesterday’s slight bump up in weight is followed by a slightly larger dip down today. I’ll take that.
More than 10 years difference in today’s Wii Fit age. I assume this has nothing to do with the weight loss and everything to do with the fact that I did slightly better on an agility game.
The EA [...]
