Maybe one day we'll have to get a Wii! I really enjoy walking when it's warm, but my bones need more resistance exercise. Rewards are tough- especially when you've got a tight budget. I had a patient tell me she was going to reward herself with a cruise-how's that for motivation! Right now I just put a check mark on the calendar each day I walk but I haven't set a reward for myself. If I was going to have to pick a more practical reward- it would probably be clothes, a book, or bubble bath or diet coke ;-) . WiiFit is such a great idea. Maybe one day we’ll have to get a Wii!

Maybe I could choose a craft book (that I can't find for free at the library) and make it my reward... I was also thinking that cheap earrings could make a nice reward. It is good to have company in my fitness quest, Julia! I can't wait for Nintendo to come out with more exercise games too. You know they will! Taiya, I like that idea!

It worked at the time, but ever since my daughter has been born I haven't gotten back in a groove. Hmm.. maybe I should do that. Good luck with tuning in June!
