| Wii Fit! How many of you are as excited as I am about the release date of Wii Fit?!? I love exercise DVDs but I'm thrilled about Wii Fit. I love that it'll be able to track my progress! I think this may be the motivation I need to really get into an exercise routine. So fess up! How many of you are going to run out and buy it? lol or if you're like me, how many of you have already pre-ordered a copy??

| I just went to visit my mom in the nursing home tonight and I looked on the schedule, and they have Wii Sports tomorrow at 2pm!! Can you imagine trying to explain the Wii to an 80 year old woman? She does know what Playstation is at least. I told her that she had to go at least watch!!

| I hope she remembers to go. Can't wait to hear what she thinks. They had an article in our paper a while back on it being used in nursing homes too. Especially that intensive bowling! (I'll bet the help hopes the residents just wanna watch. )

| Yup, Wii Bowling is a big hit in nursing homes, and it's still my favorite Wii game... Here's the news article: FOXNews.com - Nintendo's Wii Becoming Big Hit in Nursing Homes Nationwide - Business And Money | Business News | Financial News |

| A friend of mine (who has a Wii) told me this weekend that she heard the first shipment scheduled for release is already sold out! Sounds like this may be a tough one to find at first. And yes, I've heard that the Wii games are a big hit at nursing homes. I imagine it's easier for them to do those controls than the buttons and sticks on other game controllers. More power to them!

| I'm so excited for Wii Fit! I'm trying to sell my Dance Dance Revolution (since I never use it. lol) so I can get it without my bf getting upset I'm spending more money. lol

| I admit I pre-ordered my Wii Fit from Toys R Us yesterday. I had a store credit that covered the cost. It says they will start shipping May 21. I'm excited. I feel like this will be a motivator, since I'm pretty bad at exercising, I figure this way I'll think of it as a game, not exercise haha.
