easy does it

My mini- home gym!

Bought these from craigslist for about $100 altogether...
The dude said they were "free weights" but I paid anyways...
What a dumb-bell I was...

What? Is that dust?
How did that get there?

"From left to right"
Treadmill, bike on a trainer, weight bench
resistance bands, back brace and free weights.

 
A clear shower curtain with a prism design.
Lets in light, but no one can see inside!
I never made that valance, either.
Time to finish what I started!

I ran through my every excuse in the book...
Every delaying tactic...
Every reason...they were reasons, right?

After a year of serious effort...
and results - I am ready to get back to basics.

Time to get seriouser 
in an "easy does it" kinda way.

P90X is still on the dvd player!
The chin up bar helped me to stand up taller,
after a couple of years of slouching...
See it over the door?

A little progress!
This is me in March...
About 90 days ago.
Something's working!
Slowly butt surely.

.............................................
Monster w/ concentrated whey protein
Egg white protein
Cube steak w/ Heinz 57 (a couple o' carbs)
Water, coffee w/ heavy cream
Atkins bar (tired of them already)
8,000 steps at work today!
.................................................
After the buffet the other day,
I am doing a little (modified) protein fast...
In this case, it wasn't carbs, but sodium I had too much of.
So no salt for a couple of days.
...................................................
The P90X guy says to focus on the task at hand.
Well said!
...........................................
Still driving around listening to Wicked.
I love me some Wicked. ♫♪♫♬

How is your day going so far?
Wonderful, I hope!

  1. P90X? Wow - color me impressed...that's a tough workout, so I've heard! Good luck and I love your home gym - that's awesome....

  2. Sodium is the culprit in our house too. We don't put salt on food or while cooking. Some food has sodium. Eating out means food was cooked with salt and we feel it the next day.

  4. About the P90X....
    I bought it a few month ago.
    But I was not in as good of shape as I thought I was.
    So it just dwindled off, as those things sometimes do.
    I set a goal to start again - on a lower level - this week!

    My body likes to be busy.
    My mind likes to have direction.
    Keeps them both out of trouble.
    Maybe? ;)

  10. Yeah - 90 short days!
    About 3 months...
    Puts us at the end of September!
    A year and a half into LoCarb.

    And about 20 weeks until I turn 50.
    In mid-November.
    My mind needs a worthwhile distraction... a new direction-
    Or I might never recover from my first
    ego-driven, mid-life-crisis (vs nervous-breakdown!)
    :)

  11. Great gym. I love your "free weights" joke. :)

  12. That's an impressive gym, Anne. Mine alters between a gym and a gathering room for junk :-)

    I agree-- back to basics is what works best for me. And that dang sodium. Get me every time too. Ugh.

    Keep up the great job!
