Some POSITIVE changes for this fine Monday morning!

We have a 3 car garage, of which for 3 YEARS my sons broken down race car has been in one side of it. I have longed to turn the space into a little workout area for us. We have a treadmill and an exercise bike, a total gym, and a weight bench, and we've had nowhere to put any of them, except upstairs in a spare bedroom, where nobody uses them! Sooooo, we sold the car Saturday, and DH cleaned out the garage. No excuses now...I can have all my stuff, and he even built a TV shelf so we can watch it while in the equipment if we want. Woo-hoo! I think I will finally get the elliptical that I wanted, but never had space for. I am also going to skip the wine during the week. I can't seem to lose when I drink it, even when I count the points. I think it also makes me sluggish and not want to exercise. So, I'm going to limit it to weekends.

For a minute there I thought, garage in Feb? Must be nice to live in CA I need to set up my total gym again. It's been folded up with moving tape around it since I moved over a year ago. Thanks for reminding me.

The challenge will be going out there from June-September. Blazing hot!

I once read that exercise equipment is the item which is most often bought, used for a few weeks and then sold! So good luck!! We have a good quality rowing machine and a big elliptical ski-type machine. The only exercise they give me is when I dust them!!! Kate

That's great! Now you can air-condition the garage, as HIS next project! ha

Good for you.....and I totally agree with the wine. I can sneak in an extra snack and still lose, but if I can eat really healthy, with a glass or two of wine, and hit a plateau. My father used to always tell us that wine was used to help people gain weight - we thought he didn't want us to drink, but I think he was on to something!!

Enjoy exercising! I have my recumbent bike in my den. We don't have much room for anything else besides that and Steve's weights. Have a great time working away those pounds!

I'm on my third exercise bicycle -- this one a recumbant. That's how much I've used my exercise equipment -- I've worn it out. (And yet, I managed to become morbidly obese.)
