Wii SHALL OVERCOME

After months of bemoaning the fact in my blog that I've been increasingly and incredibly unmotivated to visit my local YMCA, I have cancelled my membership. What could prompt me to do such a crazy thing? It's called Wii Fit. Oh yeah! This crazy little video game features Yoga, Strength, Aerobics and Balance games. I haven't done it everyday since I got it, but I've forced myself more regularly than I was going to the Y.

I'm learning Yoga-something I've always wanted to do, gaining a greater sense of rhythm (yes, I'm rhythmically challenged in spite of my being a musician). and I'm even noticing some definition-especially in my calves.

Now, my goal is to get up each morning and practice Yoga before I get ready for work. So far, that hasn't happened, but I have hope. I believe once I get in the habit, it will be something that I’ll do regularly…it’s just getting there that’s the hard part.

Here's my confession: I'm working out, and, in the long run, saving money. That's a great thing given the tightness of my budget and the whirlwind of activity currently taking place in my life. My new exercise routine is just one of the positive things I'm putting on my plate as I diligently seek to eliminate the negative and dysfunctional from my life. I am already experiencing a greater satisfaction in my life, and that in turn, is creating harmony deep within.
