Twofer


1. See that? That's my knii. That's right, my knii. A knii is what you get when you buy a Wii. I'm no longer me; I'm a Mii. And I no longer have knees; I have kniis. Well, in this case I have hamburger thanks to the Wii Fit pushup/plank exercise***. Because of the five month headache, I missed the summer, in all it's calorie burning glory. Now, I'm poised on the brink of turkey/mashed potato season five pounds heavier than advisable. I had to do something--join a gym (expensive), get outside (too cold) or...Wii. As you can see, so far so good NOT. I'll keep you updated.




2. NANO!! I'm 2,400+ words into NaNo and wondering...if I have to scrap what I wrote yesterday and go in a different direction, do I have to subtract yesterday's progress from my word count?

***In fairness, if I could do a boy-style pushup, my kniis would have been spared. However, that Wii Board is so narrow, it's like trying to do a pushup with your hands together.

  1. Your poor Knii! Yay for your nano progress. I have no idea about nano rules :-(

  2. Have you tried the EA Sports Active Personal Trainer?? I've completed three 30 day workouts and just started my fourth. Love it. In fact, they've come out with a companion program that incorporates a six week workout program that will be released later this month. You can set your intensity - low, medium, high. Let me tell you, the program works every single muscle you have, and a few you didn't realize you had!

    Sorry, about your knii! : )

  3. Ouch! :(

    Hooray for Nano progress! I'm thinking you shouldn't delete the scrap stuff but set it aside. That way, when you do your final word count,you can put it back in as a dream sequence!

  4. Ouch! I hope you knii gets better soon. I have no idea about the scrapping thing but I'd say, just plow ahead and worry about it in December. ;)

  5. Yuna -- thanks!

    Scott -- I haven't heard about that, but I will definitely check it out. I can't say Wii Fit gives a very good workout.

    Mir -- I will try that. ;)

    L.T. -- Thanks. Since I'll never hit 50K words, it probably doesn't matter if I scrap it or not. It won't make the difference between winning and losing.

  6. Sorry about your knii. As for NaNo, I'm not sure about the rules there... I've never done it. I know. I'm a lot of help, aren't I? LOL

    Tess -- You're model skinny, so talk to me about mashed potatoes. I remember you don't eat anything except sugar anyway, right?
