Reward for Completed WLS

This is kind of a guy thing, but I just went to Lowes and bought the biggest walk behind snowblower they had! Eleven horsepower, track drive, powersteering....(don't tell my wife it was over $1300). My rational? Very few people in our neighborhood clear their sidewalk and I want to make sure I have a place to walk while losing weight and what better way to exercise in the winter than to walk behind a snowblower! This was my reward to myself for surviving WLS last week. Tool Time Tim would be proud! Heh! Heh! Heh!

Hey Greg, Whatever gets you moving has to be a great thing. I am in sunny Calif. so can't relate to a snowblower but sounds like the way to go for you. Keep up the positive thoughts!!! Pam in Calif.

ha ha ha ha ha Greg....do you need my address so I can get out and walk this winter too???? Great reward. Cheryl B rny 9/28/04

Wow, what a great purchase. See, you know your on the right track when your trying to figure out ways to still be able to walk, even in the snow. I am sure that $1300.00 will pay itself off soon enough. Congrats on making it and if it isn't to much trouble can you come over to my house when it snow's and plow my sidewalks??? LOL Shannon

Wow! It looks like I have second career. I'll be there with the snowblower as soon as I figure the transportation LOL My neighbors are going to think that I am a really good samaratan and while that will be a nice thought, I am really doing it for myself. I plan on doing about a one mile loop. We also have a linear trail close that doesn't get cleared, but I have my 20 year old cross country skis ready for that.

Great news Greg. It is only 841.67 miles from Battle Creek Mi to Rhode Island. That should only take you about 13 hours if you can get that thing up to 65... LOL Shannon

We will add a jet engine and then I should be able to follow the storm and clear the snow on the way too. What's for breakfast?

Protein drink's and cream of wheat with a 30 minute break and then some yummy water...... Shannon

Hey Greg, Me too, I'm in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Our winters get pretty bad too. Kell p.s. Heck Yeah you deserved it, and I know my husband would agree.

Hey greg, Nice reward.....I have not yet purchased one yet...still thinking.....I can really relate to the 20 year old ski's I have them too...In my garage just waiting for me to use them again .....Actually that is one of my goals.. by the way it is not just a guy thing....I would rather have a john deere to do all my leaves...I have enuff leaves for 4 yards....just not in the budget....I'll have to set my sights on something cheaper like a new rake...lol... ..sandy
