Hello everyone!
I can’t believe it, but here we are… the last day of August. It’s been an interesting month for me. I hurt my knee and went on a trip where I didn’t get enough steps. It seems that all I’ve done this month is try to catch up! I have to get about 17,000 steps for my final catch-up and I will make my goal for the month. WHOO-HOO! I can’t believe that I might actually make it! I got on the scale this morning and it said 190… I started the month at 196, so I’m losing 1.2-1.5 pounds per week. I wish it was a little faster, but at least it’s fairly steady.
I finally found a TV for my exercise room. We went everywhere yesterday and I ended up buying one at a pawn shop. I’ve never bought anything at a pawn shop before. Quite the experience. I did, however, get a TV for $30, so I’m happy. I watched (2) shows yesterday and had no problem being on the treadmill for an hour. It helps with the boredom! I know this sounds silly, but I always worry when I buy something used. I like to meet the person that is selling it. I don't want to bring bad energy into my home. I kinda worry that the TV was stolen and it brings bad energy with it. My DH thinks I'm nutty, but that's just the way I feel about it.
I finally got to play with the Wii Fit last night. OMG! I cannot believe how fun it is! My DH and DS played too, which made it a nice family activity at home. We hula-hooped, which my DS looked like he was convulsing… the boys just got no rhythm. LOL! It was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while. All in all, I recommend it. I had a great time and played with it for about 45 minutes. My DS played for an hour!
Our friend (Keith), my DH and FIL are all gone to buy a hot rod for Keith. He’s been looking for quite some time and finally found one. So right now, it’s just DS and I at home and its nice. He’s playing the Wii Fit right now. I’m torn… do I limit his time on it? How long is too long? I’ll make him leave the house and play in a little bit. For right now, I’m liking the quiet time.
I’ve started a September thread, so post there starting tomorrow. Here it is:
