The weekend...

[Guest guest]

So, I have to start by eating my words about not getting as much as a

workout as expected from Gliding Triple Threat! My glutes were SO

sore yesterday, it felt like I had fallen down and bruised my butt.

LOL I can still feel it today, but it's much better. I guess

working the muscles in all those new directions was very effective.

Hooray!

So, I mentioned thrift store shopping on Sat was a bit of a bust. It

was. We must have hit 5-6 stores (I lost count) and most of them

didn't even have ANY workout videos. I did find a couple 's on

VHS still in the plastic, but that was it! Another place had the

largest selection - but most of the videos went with obscure fitness

gadgets, and they didn't have the gadgets. And there were a few

dancin' granny type workouts, but nothing worth buying.

But, we happened to go to Half Price Books - and they had a very

interesting selection in the health and fitness section! The prices

weren't super awesome at $4-7 for VHS & DVD, but decent - and they

had a neat variety of stuff you don't see all the time. I found

a " Runervals " workout for the treadmill, so I was pretty excited

about that. I also picked up Voight's Slim Physique (210

minutes!) and Kathy 's Lift to Lose Weight 2 (80 minutes)

because they are both programmable and had so many workouts on them.

I'm going to be sure to hit the two Half Price Books stores next time

I'm in Madison, for sure.

But, on Friday I did have a chance to hit some nearby thrift stores

and found a few things. I found 2 classic FIRMs - vol 1 & 5, I

think. Also found some FIRM BSS1 on dvd - 3 for $1 so I got those to

replace my VHS versions. And, I don't know what I think of it

yet - but I got a Bean Deluxe with the 10 flex. lol It was only $8,

and came with the Bean, the dvd with a bunch of workouts, and this

frame thing (the 10 flex) that has resistance bands on it. I had the

dvd on while I was airing it up, and imagine my surprise when I saw

the FIRM's Kay in the video. I don't know when I'll play with

this, or what I'll get from it, but I'm sure I can at least get $8

worth of use out of it.

The fridge hunt went okay. I found one that I liked, but I forgot to

measure our fridge before we left (duh!). So we measured the one I

liked at the store, and discovered that it was a few inches too wide

when we got home. But, I had already sort of decided to wait on the

fridge anyway. They cost more than I wanted to spend, since ours

still keeps things (too) cold for now. We're putting on a new roof

in a few months, so I'd rather get that taken care of first. But it

was fun looking at the appliances, anyway, heh. And if the fridge

does konk out before then, it'll be easy to go an pick one out from

the scratch and dent place!

Okay, I'll post my plan for this week next. Hope everyone has

enjoyed the weekend!
