So, yeah, the Wii Fit says I need to lose about 26 pounds. Which is not really a surprise, I suppose. I've been gaining and losing the same five to seven pounds for about a year now. This is what happens when your favorite foods are beer, bread, and cheese! Yesterday and today, I got on the Wii Fit and did some stuff. It is very helpful. It waves at you and reminds you to weigh yourself when you get on, it tells you where your center of balance is and when your legs are shaky. It also tells you helpful facts like as you get older, your legs tend to get weaker and your sense of balance becomes more compromised. Okay, helpful and EXTREMELY ANNOYING. Oh well. AND it makes a little "ooh!" noise when you get on. Seriously?
I will blog about beer, don't worry. Another tasty, tasty beer I sampled at the Beverage Testing Institute on Friday was the ROGUE ALES BRUTAL BITTER (and I don't have a picture because I don't have a camera phone right now, remember?) I really liked it, though, I gave it a high score in the blind taste testing. It has a soft cornflower orange gold color, and a nose of candied orange slices and grapefruit. Lots of alpha essence hoppy flavor, pretty citrusy, more orange on the palate with some burnt butter and clover honey. Fairly light hop finish. Well balanced and very drinkable. I would say I wish I had one now, but the Wii Fit would probably tell me that having a beer every night will not help me reach my fitness goals. I'll do what I usually do when trying to lose a few pounds -- try to limit the delicious beer intake and restrict it to weekends.
And the picture? We just got this Rodney White print framed. It looks fantastic in the living room. You can't really read it in the picture, but print reads THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SMALL CHANGE. That's for sure. We'll see you tomorrow, Wii Fit.
