What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
I was 412 lbs. The Mr was able to use it because he was under the 400 lb weight limit. We bought 2 so that we could workout at the same time. When I got down to about 405, I decided to give it a go and see if it could hold me. I was able to do my first workout that included leg presses and that made me a happy girl. That was a little over 18 months (and 95 lbs) ago and we're still going strong. Upon first glance one might say it's just a Total Gym
Great site. I especially enjoyed your comment on motivation in the about section. I completely agree. Motivation in the "hippy skippy" kind of way rarely hits me. But I've managed to get exercise most days, and my pregnancy pounds are slowly going away.
ReplyDeleteThat is SO going on my wish list!!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is SO going to be on my birthday list! I join the "halfway to 80 club" next month and all I could come up with was a wallet and a watch for gift ideas. My hubs just shakes his head. Now THIS I can gladly ask for since you gave it such great reviews (and I trust you implicitly). Thanks hot stuff! I'm off to go check out the link you included. Minimal space was a key thing to read. I'm so pysched (not to be confused with pyscho). =o)
ReplyDeleteFF- Thanks! The motivation thing (at least for me) is all true. Never had it, doesn't matter, do it anyway! :) Congrats on the new baby and getting rid of the pregnancy weight!
ReplyDeleteMissy- As it should baby!
D1-This would be an AWESOME reward! Plus Amazon's price is slightly better than going the manufacturer site so if you have a wishlist already you can click through here and add it!
Tell me lady (either here or at SP) what type of floor space does this take up? I am considering asking Santa for one for xmas, but not sure if we have the room.
ReplyDelete- Hugmonkeymom
Mel- Let me check. Okay according to the website the Folded Footprint is 20"W x 14"D x 50"H. I have a hard time believing that's 14"D folded, I think it's smaller than that. It can easily go under a bed if you have room or up against a wall in your workout room and not take up much room at all.
ReplyDeleteHas been on my wish list for awhile now...still want one of these so I can have 'guns' too! :)
ReplyDeletethanks for posting this, hubbie and I are talking about getting some home equipment. We want stuff we will actually use - the treadmill he had before we met has been given to his daughter & grandson (the boxer in training) as they will use it
ReplyDeleteI refuse to get equipment to be clothes hangers
