Workin' On Our Fitness

Matt and I made a decision to quit our gym membership at L.A. Fitness. Why? Because we were too lazy to drive the 2 minutes to the location by our house :) Really, though, we didn't like making separate trips to the gym. But Matt hits his stride right when he gets home from work around 5. And since I don't get home until 6, he has lost a lot of his steam by the time I come around. Not to mention the fact that after fighting ridiculous traffic for an hour, I'm not really in the mood to get back in the car and go anywhere - especially not the much-loathed gym. So we canceled and instead bought a nice new Reebok treadmill from Costco to put in our living room. So far it has been working well - there is really no way to avoid it since that machine is staring at you while you're trying to watch TV in peace.

So I wondered what Jordan's reaction to this loud monster would be. Considering she is afraid of EV-VUH-RE-THING! Seriously, if she sees a "suspicious" box in the house, she will make a distinct arc in her walking path to avoid it. And not to mention the fireplace. She is terrified of that thing and we've never even used it. Anyways, Matt put it together on Sunday and surprise! She loved it! Hopped up on the thing right away. We plug it in to start walking and she can't wait to join us. It didn't take her too long to figure it out either. Look at the joy in her face while she's up there! We'll have to work on the staying up there part, but we're off to a great start!
