Pounds of Happiness



Why did no one tell me that along with happiness comes inches and a double chin? Well, I'm here to tell you all--- it does!

14 pounds, weeks of saving, a week of super saving thanks to Mom and Dad being in town (You and Costco are my friends!), we bit the bullet and bought a treadmill. We have plans for the next decades of our lives and prefer to be healthy for them. Florida heat sure doesn't inspire me to get out and exercise much and I needed something I could do easily.

We decided to make our exercising a weekly competition. We would log the time on the treadmill and whoever had the least time would plan the date for the week. Do I even need to say who won? Yeah, it was me, by over 100 minutes!

Thanks to the ease of the treadmill those 14 pounds have shrunk a little to 11. I consider it a splendid investment in my health. Thankfully this happiness won't come with an extra chin :)

  1. Way to go! Keep it up and happiness also comes in little packages, not always meaning more.

  3. Great investment! That is on the top of my list when we have our own home again. Manson winters aren't any more inspiring than Florida heat for exercising!
