Wii Fit U

The new Nintendo Fit game is out. (Play it!) Its only available for download right now, but its free! You download it and then have 30 days to use it (you do need to have a balance board). If you like it, you just buy the little pedometer (a pedometer is a device that counts your steps, not your trustworthiness around children) that they make, the Wii Fit Fit Meter, for $20 and then you get to keep the game, forever.

Ive been using it for a week now and have lost more than 3 pounds. Its not much really, the first 10 are always easy for me. Hopefully this new game will keep me motivated to keep at it. Its really exciting to see how far Ive walked every day and how much altitude Ive climbed. There are also a lot of new activities that I really enjoy.

NFL 13 Mid Season Picks

With week 9 almost over its time to pick my midseason picks.

AFC
East: Patriots (7-2)
Sure the Jets have beaten the Pats and the Saints; theyve also lost to the Steelers and Titans. I just dont see them finishing ahead of the Patriots.
North: Ravens Bengals (6-3)
I dont know what I was thinking. The Ravens are dead to me. Im happy the won the Super Bowl last year but Im over it now.
South: Colts (5-2)
AFC South? Who cares.
West: Broncos (7-1)
This is the division to watch. I feel like the Broncos are going to win out but its going to be up to them to stop the Chiefs because it doesnt look like anyone else is up to the challenge.
Wildcard: Chiefs (9-0), Titans (4-4)
One of the wildcard spots is going to either the Broncos or Chiefs. The other, who frickin knows. Im going to stick with the Titans, not because I think theyre any more likely than any one else but because I picked them in the early season.

NFC
East: Cowboys (5-4)
Apparently a last minute win against the 1-7 Vikings is a big deal in the NFC East.
North: Lions (5-3)
The Lions are going to need help if theyre going to beat out the Packers. This is why Ill be rooting for the Bears tomorrow night.
South: Saints (6-2)
The Panthers are only a game behind, flying high on a 4 game winning streak, but those 4 wins are against teams with a total of 6 combined wins.
West: Seahawks (8-1)
I suppose the 49ers could catch the Seahawks but its not going to happen.
Wildcard: 49ers (6-2), Packers (5-2)
The Panthers and Bears have a shot. I probably should have the Lions here if Im being honest.

So Im sticking with my initial picks, with the exception of the Ravens. I still like the Broncos and Seahawks in the Super Bowl.
