Still getting it done

This weekend, we went on a hike as a family. We were planning on going on a fairly low-key hike, but the road to it was closed and we ended up going on a more challenging hike that took us four times longer than we were planning to be hiking. All the time, I carried the little boy in one of those child carrier backpacks. Needless to say, I got lots of good exercise in that day and was encouraged about the impending backpacking trip I've got coming up.

On the downside, though, I didn't do my scheduled video game exercise routine. There were two very good reasons for this. First, I was already pretty worn out from the hiking exercise I did earlier on Saturday, which was a kind of good exercise. Second, I still didn't have that lens for my EyeToy, which would have meant that I would have spent another routine trying to dodge a bouncing ball while my body takes up half the screen. Not fun.

But I got the lens today, along with another copy of the game and another EyeToy. Anyone want the set, minus the full vision lens? If so, let me know and we can work something out. That means tonight, I'm all over it. I'm going to use the thing the way it was designed to be used. I'm looking forward to seeing how it really works, but not looking forward to the virtual personal trainer telling me to get my act together and make sure I get enough exercise. I'll let you know how that goes. In the meantime, I have a workout to do.
