  • Okay, I'll exercise!

    Okay, the Number One thing I complain about is the difficulty I have exercising. I mean, with little kids it's just really hard. Can't take them with me, can't afford to pay a sitter while I go to the gym or go walking or whatever. I try to do exercise videos, but I need something more.

    So my BIL and his wife gave us their swimming pool last week. Gave. As in, no strings attached. Full-sized, above ground swimming pool. SWimming is my favorite exercise! Yay! And our buddy is going to come down w/ the heavy equipment neccessary to level out a 26-foot circle in our yard -- all he wants in exchange is a haircut and a home-cooked meal.

    The day after that awesome offer was made, my aunt called to offer me her treadmill. Free. We just need to come get it. It's been sitting unused in her house for about a decade, and she suddenly decided that I need it more than she does.

    Ever get the feeling the universe is trying to tell you something?! Okay, I get it -- I'll exercise!

        Okay, even stranger . . . . some friends of ours have been raising chickens, and the wife just called to ask if we could possibly take a dozen or two eggs each week. Organic, brown eggs. Which I love! And are a great, healthy source of protein for a person doing Atkins!

        It's almost scary, how things are falling into place for me . . .

          woo hoo for you.
          oh and if the kids bug you about the treadmill give them treadmill time too and let them do some treadmilling. wears them out and they get bored fast and say no thank you in a week or too when you offer them their time.

              LOL Yeah, I'd say the signs are all pointing you in the right direction!!! Congrats on the pool and the treadmill and the EGGS! That's fantastic. I've got an above ground pool too...have been fighting a battle with algae, but I'm winning...I think!
