Labor Day Weekend Recap
How do? It's the start of a new month again. I have to say, decorating for Fall early this year was absolutely the right thing to do. I want to say I put stuff up August 12th-ish and not only did it put me in a better mood but I usually decorate early September and then it feels like a deadline. Having all of this up was calming in the blazing heat and humidity and gave me something to look forward to. The Mr and I had our birthday celebration Saturday. I had him pick up my favorite cupcakes and it's the first year we didn't have an actual cake which felt weird and kind of sad. I grew up on grocery store cakes with overly sweet frosting and roses or balloons on the edges. Sadly since everything is off-site and shipped into stores now, they are as dry as the desert no matter where we try to get them. Even Mom and Pop bakeries have the same problem. I really don't want to bake my own cake so cupcakes it is and they looked like they hit it ou...
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
