Starting out I mention that I have more than a couple of pieces of exercise equipment that I bought while watching television and some I have just picked up while out shopping. Well, added to the list of exercise bike, glider, step machine, large array of workout DVDs, big exercise ball (with DVD) and Gold’s Gym free weight set with bench; I can now add Bowflex. Yeah!
Before you start thinking that I am a bad steward (which I am going to sign up for a Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University class – even though I already have the cd’s), or an all things fitness hoarder; I just want to mention that I am using some of the items now and that I got the Bowflex at a really great deal! Actually I consider it as a gift from God. That may sound weird, but I kept telling Him that I wanted one, but couldn’t justify the price. With enough pouting (consistency pays off in more than just working out), someone sent me an email that bought one for $1,400 and only used it to hang clothes. She only wanted me to pay $200, but I gave her $300 because she delivered it to me. . Yeah, saving money and losing weight what a great combination!
I spent the last week concentrating on healthy food choices. My weekend co-worker tried to sabotage my efforts when she bought me an entire cake. Can you image, who does that? She bought me a birthday cake and it wasn’t even my birthday! She probably weights 105 pounds. I thought about making her one of my gift baskets that I am famous for and filling it with sweets, but instead I will buy her a case of tilapia or boneless skinless chicken breast and give that to her instead. You know… be kind to those who persecute you.
I want to thank my boss for my beautiful cookie bouquet that I can share with my boys. They will love it and so do I. Hey, I have a Bowflex to work it off. Today’s weight is 217.
