Last night we picked up a compact size home gym for our basement. The instruction manual was a bit of a challenge for Drew since parts weren’t numbered but after 5 long hours it’s together. <\/p>\n
Drew spent a chunk of today teaching me how to (properly) do the exercises on it. He also helped me figure out my current max weight capacity for each exercise so I know what weights I should be using for each. I’ve also got a three day routine to follow (well, a different routine every second day). Hopefully this means that I won’t hurt myself using it while he’s gone.<\/p>\n
We shifted the treadmill a few feet to the right in order to accommodate the new equipment in the room. No worries though, I can still watch tv while I walk.<\/p>\n
It was a beautiful day today so Drew & L redid our back stairs to create a slightly bigger landing\/top step. This will give me somewhere to drop groceries when I’m trying to open the back door. It also means the dogs won’t push me down a step in their rush to get inside the house. They also closed off the recycling bin cubby and front of the deck. When they were done L remarked on how different the backyard looks since the first time he’d seen it. I think it’ll look amazing when they finish it. Apparently I’ll be getting my gazebo this summer. L wants to built it as soon as they weather clears & Drew returns from his latest training trip.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow we get up at 0 dark 30 to drive up to the base. Drew’s off to Valcatraz until Easter. Guess this means I’ll be able to get the house back in order while he’s gone.<\/p>\n
And me. <\/p>\n
Keeping to a routine on weekends has been a bit of a challenge with Drew home. Still managing the diet\/exercise portion but the sleeping & wake-up schedules are definitely out of whack. It’ll be nice to wake up early (for me) on a weekend and not have to worry about waking Drew up as I thump about in the kitchen. I’m not too coordinated (or quiet) until I’ve had breakfast and my first cup of tea. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
