Early December, for St. Nick, I bought myself a copy of EA Active More Workouts for the Wii.  It is like an add-on for the original EA Active game, with more sports, stretches, games, etc. to enhance your workout.  I especially liked the obstacle courses and the step routines that this game offers.
Shortly after getting [...]

I was all excited to share with you a review for something I had on my Christmas list.  In fact, it was what I wanted most.  Of all the luck… I didn’t get it!  I’ll try one more time for my birthday (in April) but after that just buy it myself.  I’m worth it.  [...]

After a long hiatus, I dug the EA Active CD out of storage today and popped it in.  I decided to do the 20 minute workout on the “Hard” setting.  A couple of notes:

It was a little hard, but not bad!  My lower weight has made any efforts to exercise much easier.
The last time I [...]

I’m two months in a row for meeting my monthly goals! At the end of March, I said I wanted to lose five pounds in April. I knew that with two family birthdays (including mine) and Easter chocolate temptations, it would be difficult to lose much more than that. Well, in April [...]

I did the 30 day challenge using EA Sports Active for the Wii. It was a lot of fun and the exercises were varied enough to keep it interesting. I participated at the medium level (you could choose easy, medium or hard) and I think perhaps the reps or lengths of time is [...]

I’m almost done with the Wii EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge. When I first started it, I remember thinking that the dancing segments of the workout were kind of lame. You know what? They’re growing on me. Perhaps I thought they were lame because I’m not much of a dancer. [...]

Ahh! Today I got to the workout in the 2nd week of the Wii Active 30 Day Challenge where I performed the “squat hold” which is basically one squat that you hold in the squatting position for 40 seconds. Those 40 seconds seem like much longer, let me tell you! There were [...]

I have completed five of the 20 workouts in the EA Sports Active (Wii) 30 Day Challenge. At two days on, one day rest, they are coming along fairly smoothly. I have not failed to complete any of the exercises that the virtual trainer has put me through, but I am having difficulty [...]

Like I mentioned, I got the Wii EA Active game for Christmas. This morning I did my first workout in the 30-day challenge and I chose medium intensity as the setting. I didn’t want to appear wimpy by going with the low-intensity but assumed I’d be near dead if I started with the [...]

Merry Christmas everyone! I had a great Christmas. Among the many wonderful things I received were some items that will help me quite a bit with my weight loss efforts. (Thank you to Santa and the family members that lovingly thought of me and my goals!)

A 12qt soup pot that I can [...]
