A while ago my husband moved his brother's weight bench into our basement with the intention of using it. It originally went into the laundry room... at that time I said, "Is this going to become a clothes hanger, or are you goint to use it?!" Brandon insisted he would use it.
It became a clothes hanger.
So a couple weeks ago I asked him to move it into the finished part of the basement. Maybe if we saw it regularly we would be inspired to use it. This past week I finally had him show me how the leg press part of the machine worked and I officially began using the weight bench! I don't know how many leg lifts and pull ups to do to make me "feel it" but I don't want to overwork it either and end up incabable of walking. So I've been doing a couple reps of 15. Woohoo!
I've also added some more sit ups to my daily routine. These are done at random parts of the day when I find I have 10 minutes or I am already on the floor.
The other day I was weeding in the garden and decided that counts as moving on purpose, because some weeds require some crazy amounts of strength to remove!
I've also gone on a couple of walks.
Nothing crazy like biking to school... but I'm planning on doing something like that again soon!
This Wednesday Owen has his 4 month appointment - I'm curious to see how much I weight. I will report it here. Until then, move on purpose!
