A Glimpse Into the Not-Too-Distant Future

I prayed to the Wii Fit gods, and they appeared to respond appropriately.

Just under 300! To be fair, the Wii balance board is not a scale, and it never gives you your exact weight...but it is sort of exciting that Wii Fit thinks I'm under 300. Any kind of motivation that I can get in advance of my next weigh-in is much appreciated.

So thank you, Wii Fit, you made my Thursday night. In response, I'd like to take you out to dinner. NOTE: since Wii Fit is an inanimate object, I will accept a human substitute...but the wifey has first priority.

The weekend is just about here, and it is yet again filled with parties and get-togethers, where it is harder to have control over my eating habits. However, last weekend I proved to myself that I could make it through that kind of weekend without falling off the weight loss wagon, so this weekend doesn't seem so intimidating.

Speaking of going out, I really need me to get myself a cell phone with a good mobile web browser. The wifey has a BlackBerry, and you can access Weight Watchers Online from its web browser. This is so helpful when you are sitting in a restaurant and don't know what is healthy, or when you get an impromptu call from a friend looking to go out to dinner but you haven't planned your point consumption in advance. I can just go to the WW website, log in, search foods, and update my points tracker. Unfortunately, I still have one of these in my pocket:

It's awkward.

SWEET You've got a Zach Morris phone.

If you ever feel like substituting a Wii dinner date with a human double date, perhaps the four of us can go out for a healthy meal sometime?

Congrats on the Wii Love ;)

Holla!

Any goal, even if something small, deserves to be celebrated.
