Work it, work it

As if we didn't already have enough stuff in our house, we decided to add more. This wasn't just adding stuff to have more stuff, though. It was more of an investment in our future. I have been working out pretty faithfully for the past year and needed a change of pace on my workout habits. Not that it hasn't been a good workout for me, it just hasn't given me the results I've been hoping for. And I workout hard, eat 90% right, and even just did another body boot camp (remember last year?). Soooo... we bought some workout equipment. In the middle pic you can see both pieces. On the left is an elliptical machine, and on the right is a Cross Bow (similar to a BowFlex). We got the elliptical for about 1/3 of the original price at a store for used sports things called "Play it Again Sports." And Rick found the Cross Bow online, on Craigslist. I think that one we got for maybe 1/5 of the new price, and the lady even delivered it from Boise. Nice.

And so, we have the equipment set up in our spare room / office / guest room / home gym. Lol. It fits pretty nicely in there, even if it makes it a little tight for a guest. Oh, but the blow up mattress still fits - Jeremy stayed there last weekend when he was here for our 10 year NNU reunion (can you believe it's been 10 years since we graduated?!?!).

We've had the new fixtures for about 3 weeks now. The first and second week we did really well, using it almost every day. This past week it only got used once, but we'll get back on it. We're both really dedicated to getting healthy. We're also eating fairly healthy, and just generally trying to stay active. Hopefully this can be a lifestyle change for us. I think it will be, as we both are aware of our mortality and are wanting to have a family and be healthy enough to enjoy life.
