Wii Fit, EA Active, and posting from my Blackberry

So, party because of Wii Fit and EA Active and partly because I really
like that I can post blogs from my blackberry, here's another update
from the life of Scott.

Now, I'm a pretty big guy, so I've been blessed with the ability to
impress my wife by lifting extremely large tree branches and tossing
them over my head during post pruning activities, but I don't think
anyone would mistake me for some one that was actually in shape.

But, I'm getting alittle older and starting to realize the benefits of
getting in shape. Now that I'm almost 30, I know things now that I
didn't know 10 years ago. Things like the exact cost of my health
insurance and how much of it is paid by my employer. And, that taxes
are higher on fast food and restaurants than they are on produce.

So naturally, when I got Wii Fit, I played it for a couple days and
then put it back on the shelf for almost a year. But then, I got EA
active and played that for a few days and ... put it on the shelf for
a year. But then, I pulled both of them out, added a reminder on
google calendar, and have been playing both for about 4 weeks. And
I've been surprised by the results.

Now, I admit that because I'm a mathematician, part of it is my love
for charts and graphs. Every time I look at the random fluctuation
around the 5 pounds I've lost so far, I can't help but imagine a least
squares line fit to the data while I project it out to come up with my
best estimate of when I'll hit my goal. (Right now, I'm guessing
Febuary or March, but we actuaries like to be conservative, so for the
record, I'll say april or may.)
