An Old Familiar Leaf

Well, after today there is no turning back. Our office was transformed into a workout room today. Chris's latest hobby is getting fit and staying fit. I decided I'd be along for the ride. Let me tell ya, he is going all out for this hobby, (but what else is new?) Our computer desk has been taken apart and put away in our closet (as we really have no need for it while we're not in school). So, Chris moved all of his workout items into the office, making it a workout room for the next two months. Before the mish, he was quite the all-star athlete. (when he reads this, he will say, "Now Julene, I wasn't an all-star"). I know that. But it sounds cool, and I think he is an all-star. And just because he wasn't an all-star doesn't mean that he wasn't good. This man tore it up on the track and soccer fields! He misses his old ways, so he is gettin back in the groove! I also use to be a little more physically fit once upon a time, so I decided that I'd also eat a little more healthy, and get back in my own groove of toning and what-not. To help Chris get back to his old leaf, he purchased off of KSL a rowing machine, weights and a bench to lift them with, and a punching bag thing that is weighted down with a water base (on a side note, we picked this thing up at K-mart... it was originally priced at $100, then marked down to $65, then marked down to $40. So we got it! And it comes with punching gloves!) . That is probably a horrible explanation, but it's for Chris, not me, so I'm allowed to not know what it's called. But the nice thing about it, is that I can practice my strike and kick moves that I learned in my RAD self-defense class, so I won't get all rusty! So at the end of the summer, you should expect to see a new pair of Batemans!

Ah, the memories....we did that once when we had Roma for a baby. Didn't get used, but it was a nice thought, and that's what counts right? Hold on, I have to undo my top button, my muffin top rolleth over.
So I was saying...the thought made us our svelte selves.
