We had school off for Martin Luther King day yesterday (which was glorious) and I planned to go for a walk in the morning before heading to Michelle's house for Creative Friday. But it was super windy and cold outside so I couldn't go. Instead I chose to do the kids' new "Just Dance" game on the wii! Oh my goodness, it was so funny. Luckily Landon was at Physical Therapy, Randy was in the shower, and Whitney was having a sleepover at my parents' house, otherwise there would have been witnesses to the humiliation of seeing my large, uncoordinated self "dancing" in the family room. (I have lost a lot of the rhythm I used to have.)
I was able to appreciate the humor of this sight even when there was no one there to see it! I kept looking over to make sure Randy wasn't peeking around the corner! It was so funny and proved to be a good workout for me. My heart was going, I was sweating and smiling, plus I got 5476 steps on my pedometer. Good times.
**Have you played a game like this?
Was it embarrassingly fun for you?**
Comment Window Tidbit: Today is the first day of the new term at school, which means tons of kids will have lost their schedules and won't know where to go. Aargh! Plus, I stayed up until midnight (unheard of!) to finish my bookclub book so I'm tired today!

Reminds me of my Billy Tae Bo days. The kids still mimic me. I think it funny you were afraid Randy would find you, I could feel your angst.
You try to get 11,000 steps in a day, right? Is that 5.5 miles?
I do Zumba a couple of times a week and I know the other ladies feel bad for me and my lack of skills.I know I can't dance and Blake reminds me often that he got my dancing skills and he isn't happy about it. I would die if Jason ever came and watched me do it. I know I wouldn't, I would leave.
Just Dance is my preferred form of exercise!
Ha ha!! I love it! I am a HORRIBLE dancer. I have zero rhythm. But I love to do it!! THis sounds like a really fun way to exercise! (as long as no one is watching!!)
Our Grandkids got Just Dance 3 for Christmas. It was a rousing success-you would have enjoyed watching Jay,Ann,Lynn and Julie trying to keep up with the kids. Hilarious. We laughed till we had tears in our eyes.
I have been wanting to try this. I think it would be fun, but I definitely wouldn't want anyone watching!
Hmm, I might have to try my kids' wii dance game when nobody is home! I am so uncoordinated, it's not even funny. I went to an aerobics class with my friends in college, and they were behind me, and ended up doubled over laughing AT me. It seriously scarred me for life, and I am not up for public displays of exercise any more!
I love this game...I need to practice without my littles so I can be a winner once in awhile!
I did try ZUMBA once in public - never again. HA!
we love this game too. i think it is so fun. i'm glad that no one watches me play though!
I see my mom beat me to it...I was going to say the same thing. She neglected to say that she did it too. I have the video...LOL!
It is a great workout!
We got the new "Just Dance" from Santa. I love it! We have had so much fun with it. I hope you are surviving this first week of the new term. My daughters only had to class changes.
i dance with Carly occasionally but it is not pretty!
I really, really want a Wii! I have zero rhythm, but I think I could still have fun.
That is a ton of steps!
