It's always hard to confront one's demons. I don't smoke, rarely drink, and I prefer my sex, drugs, & rock'n'roll without the drugs. So my vice is food, but more importantly, my vice is laziness. I joined a gym about 2 months ago but had procrastinated goin until 2 weeks ago, when I started working out in earnest.

Now, with Wii Fit in the office and the editor's blog started, I am anxiously determined to get results. I won't be using the game as my only tool for fitness, so it will be hard to say what effect it has on the overall direction of my fitness. However, it will surely have some effect. Even after the light exercises tonight, I feel some burn in my legs. Of course, the fun of being big is that not only are my muscles out of shape, but they carry a heavier load than most people do. This makes weight loss go quickly towards the beginning of your regimen, and then plateau a little later on.

I'm looking forward to giving everyone a taste of Wii Fit from the big guy's view. Here's my initial blog, for those keeping score!

Now that the Wii Fit has finally (technically) launched and our editorial blog is getting underway, it's super-duper Union time! Whether you're interested in Wii Fit as a fitness device, a weight-loss device, or an interesting peripheral that will finally let you realize indoor mastery of hitting soccer balls with your noggin, this is the place to be. I'm personally excited to get my hands on mine and be able to work some activity into my routine that doesn't involve jogging up and down hills in San Francisco. Particularly since San Francisco has lately been fond of spiking temperatures into the 90s, which is TOTAL nonsense and I'm having no part of it.

So come on in and make yourself at home! We hope to hear from you guys even as we toil through our 6 weeks of cruel fitness experiments. Join us and the pain and glory is shared!
