I just finished workout 14 (I guess) and got the video pop up with the trainer enthusiastically telling me how we're going to be doing more reps and new, more challenging exercises. Somehow I didn't share his enthusiasm, but I'll stick with it! Drop by any time you want to chat about Active! Thank you so much for the comment!!!

I've been trying to find reviews of people who love this thing as much as I do, so thanks for that. :) And thanks for a few laugh-out-loud moments- much appreciated. I agree with you on so many points that it's getting a bit ridiculous. The basketball workout is the only thing I haven't fallen in love with. I had the opposite problem that you did- my avatar throws perfect baskets every time with very little/no effort on my part. I see the basketball workout as my unofficial rest period. Ha ha. I originally told the Active that I had a Wii board, but upon discovering that it really only hindered my workouts, I changed that. The only thing I would change about the Active is that I wish it would weigh you- guess I'll have to keep my Wii Fit after all. I have the same running issues as you- every once in a while I'll be plodding along at my "too slow!" pase and suddenly she'll (my avatar) start sprinting even though I clearly am not. I'll let this go on for a few seconds and then I'll stop to kind of "reset" her. I feel guilty getting credit for sprinting when what I'm doing can (at best) be described as reluctantly jogging. I also agree with you about the squats (holy Lord are they the hardest part of this workout!) but at least they do get easier. :) I applaud your efforts on eating better and drinking more water. The day before I started the 30-day challenge I also started 30 days of no fast-food or eating out, in hopes that it would jump start me into a more healthy life. So far so good (Day 15!) but I have a dinner coming up with friends and unless I'm strong enough to pack my own sandwich to Panera (which I seriously doubt) I'll be breaking it then. However, I plan on starting right back up again. My bank account has thus far thanked me more than any serious weight loss, but I still have 16 days left of the challenge. *fingers Anyway, I've bookmarked your site in hopes that you'll keep us/me updated every so often. I wish you the best luck in your endeavor- know that there are others out there that are "running" along side you. Hello,
