I just walked 3 miles

and boy are my arms tired!

You know that old joke, I just flew in from Albuquerque ... And boy are my arms tired? 

According to the pedometer attached to the waistband of these shorts with the stupidest pocket* in the word of pants, I only walked 1,500 steps.  According to Wii, I walked 3 miles.  Guess who I'm going to believe? 

The way I play Walk It Out on the Wii, my arms are as tired as my legs.  I cheat a little when I play.  It started because the pants I wore had no pockets so I couldn't put the nunchuk in a pocket as suggested so I just held it in my hand and shook the nunchuk in time with the music.  I found the hand-held method to be superior to the "right" way so I do it that way most of the time now. 

It's just a game.  Nobody lives or dies or loses an eye or a house if I play it my way instead of their way.  I'm not playing against anybody else so I'm not cheating anybody out of a victory dance.  So I'll do it my way.



* The stupidest pocket:
  1. It's located on the side of the shorts.  I don't mean the entrance is on the side, like with jeans.  The whole pocket is on the side. 
  2. I can get 4 fingers in the pocket at one time, but not with the thumb, and only my fingers - none of the palm of my hand.  How am I suppose to carry anything in there?

Welcome to Me

I have to go play with the Wii now, but I'll write more soon.
