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 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 Ten: The Lost Workout

My weight bounced up by a little less than a pound. It wasn’t significant enough to warrant a rebuke from the balance board. Despite the slight increase, it’s still lower than it was a couple of days ago.

The Wii Fit Age on the other hand has skyrocketed up to 37. I attribute this mostly to [...]

Day Nine: Progress and Respite

George and Weezie may have been content with movin’ on up, but not me. I’m movin’ on down. 1.5 lbs. worth of down. As always, I’ll believe it after a couple of days. But now I feel a bit more confident that this is a bona fide trend and not the capricious will of the [...]

Day Six: Pumping Neoprene

Holy crap, another day of relatively significant weight loss. I’m not going to consider two data points a trend, but this is an encouraging development.

Since I’m a little skeptical of the results, I’m going to round up and call this 173. I’m not sure if I’m just losing water weight, or what the cause is. [...]

Day Two: Further Adventures with Wii Fit Plus

Today’s workout consisted of just over an hour of Wii Fit Plus. Admittedly, I spent more time checking out the new games than I did focusing on strenuous exercise. I worked up a little bit of a sweat, but in total the whole hour felt more like a warm up.
To my surprise, I was down [...]
