Old's Gym

-

The new gym equipment has been delivered and set up. One treadmill? Check! One elliptical? Check? One big bum? Check!

The original equipment, one ab machine, a treadclimber, a total gym, and a heavy bag (not shown) are there as well. They were just not any fun. And they were not working (you actually have to use them to see any improvement.) So it's let's keep the old and bring in the new!

This is the most important piece of equipment - the beer fridge. It is strategically placed next to the ab LOUNGER (caps intentional). The new equipment came with a couple of cup holders so we should be all set.

I'm gearing up for some exercise later today by eating chocolate covered espresso beans and drinking a soda now. 

All kidding aside, I am seriously going to try to get back in shape. I used to go to the gym 3-4 times a week at one point when I lived in Boston. Since I've moved out here however, the long commute has given me a big excuse to plop myself on the couch at night.  

And just to put it all out there - here goes - the last time I got on the scale (last week) it read 157.7.  And, at 5' 6 and a half "  I want to weigh 135.  So wish me luck. I think this blog will hopefully keep my honest and therefore motivated. 

Next post - Weigh In Wednesday!

Equipment looks nice. You strike me as someone who is pretty determined and can accomplish whatever you set your mind to, if you really want it.

I'm bummed that I broke our rower last week. We're trying to decide if the belt is going to be easy and worth replacing, or if we should buy a new one.

Wow CJ you really are putting it all out there. Even our messy basement!

The exercise equipment looks good. They're almost too pretty and clean to use. Maybe we should go out for a super fattening meal and think about whether or not we want to get them dirty. Maybe we should keep them clean a little bit longer.

LMAO!!!!

Oh - and if BN is reading..... I'm thinking about doing that woodwork thing on the wall so that I won't have to look at that ugly insulation. Are you in?

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

Commuting Tips - How to Make The Drive More Fun

Today is Saturday, which means I get a break from driving to my job in Boston. I love what I do and I honestly don't hate my commute. By the end of the week however, I can get fairly tired from the trip. So, in order to stay sharp on my drive, I've adopted the following strategy to make things more fun,interesting and bearable. Talk on the phone. Talk a lot. And don't use your blue-tooth wireless set up either. It's more challenging getting in and out of Boston if you have one hand on the wheel and one up to your ear. Send text messages. Nothing says 'I love you' like a text message sent from a friend while navigating bumper to bumper traffic on the Mass Pike. My preferred technique - look down and type, look up for a quick lane check, back down again to type. Scan the newspaper. No better time to get caught up on the days events than while you are just sitting in your car doing nothing. Take mini-naps. Once you establish a path of travel, throw on the cruise co...
