Usually, this is the time of year you start thinking about starting to exercise again, just emerging from a post-holiday food hangover. The daily dose of Christmas cookies has subsided, and you are considering once again filling your plate with foods that are inherently green. And, that's not counting Nachos Navidad.
The holidays are not my healthiest season either. I tend to go on a month-long bender of party food and sweets, while rationalizing a break from any form of exercise. Here's what not to do. I can see how the Wii will be habit forming. The first night of getting to bed early after Christmas break, I tried to sneak in a little Wii bowling after the kids were asleep. My son hollered from his bed, "Who is playing the Wii? I can hear someone playing the Wii!" I've been thinking that since my holiday exercise routine was limited to walking to the fridge and Wii-related activities, perhaps we should invest in Wii Fit. This is some sort of Wii exercise program that involves yoga.
