The Workout

Those of you that read my blog somewhat frequently know that one of my goals for the rest of the year is to get in better shape. (and lose a little weight)

I've half-tried to do this a few times. But the problem is a simple one: I'm lazy. Very very lazy. And I don't particularly enjoy exercising. I'd much rather watch videos and eat.

I'm really committed to achieving my goal though and I decided that the only way that I will actually stick with it is if I literally remove all obstacles and make it as easy and convenient as possible. So, I decided to make one of my spare bedrooms into a fitness room, and went on Craigslist to find some good stuff to fill it.

I already had an exercise bike and ab ball. So, I was primarily looking for some type of home gym. And boy did I find one!!! And a great deal too!! The only problem was that the guy that was selling it was really really sketchy, even by Worcester standards. Oh yeah...and the fact that I had to carry all of it up 3 flights of stairs to my apartment (thanks for helping Katie and Amy!!!!), and try to put it together all by myself.

Normally, I'm pretty good at assembling stuff. And in typical guy fashion, I rarely look at instructions. But, this thing had 37 pages of instructions!!! And over 200 pieces!!! It took soooo long.

Finally, I got it all assembled (it took about 5 hours!) and it is ready to go! The only problem is that I'm too tired and sore from carrying it all upstairs and putting it together to actually use it for at least a few days haha.

Oh, and I also finished furnishing and decorating my sunroom last week. I love it!
