I spent a long time yesterday thinking about my post and all the comments.
Comments are what blogging is all about in my book but that subject will have to be tackled on another post.
So, this whole weight gain, feel like crap, need to exercise situation that I was upset about yesterday sparked a great idea.
The return of the Slimmons Gym.
At our old house I had the garage set up with a treadmill, exercise bike, free weights, heavy
punching bag, and a speed bag. Sure I was not in there as much as should have been but I would use it and I loved it.
So now our garage is just boxes and boxes of stuff. That exercise equipment is buried and even if I could get to it, there is no room.
The plan is as follows. Get the Slimmons Gym up and running by the end of summer.
I know what you are thinking. “End of Summer, don’t you think that is giving yourself too much time?” Truth be told, I am worried I will have it done by then. We have LOTS OF STUFF to go through and decide if it’s trash, a keeper, or a yard sale item. And I tend to make reasonable goals since unattainable ones are pointless IMHO.
Every weekend I will get in that garage and start going through boxes. One by one I will be more organized and will be that much closer to getting the old gym back in gear.
I have to tell you, I am really excited about this. All the comments and encouragement I received really helped to get my brain working to come up with a way to turn things around.
Thanks for the ideas, love, and support. I’ll be a healthy ninja soon enough!

Yay for you!!!
And don't forget, moving all those boxes is exercise too. =)
I'm so proud of you George :) You can do this :) We'll be right there along side you pushing you along :)
Awesome stuff!! And plasticpancreas is SOOO right! It was my first thought.
Go you! You can do it!
My first thought, too! Make moving the boxes even better by "moving with gusto!"
AND, you get double benefits - a cleaned up garage and your new gym.
Ummm - I should do the same thing. I'll bet our messy garage beats out yours. And I don't have the excuse of moving.
Good luck George!
AWESOMITES!!!
Perfect! And I agree, some of that moving boxes and organizing is exercise in itself!
Go ninja! Good plan as you can see how your progress is going and that can keep you motivated. Plus you will be more organized :)
Moving boxes... that's great exercise. The only thing better is painting!
I'm fairly new to your blog but I just wanted to say...good stuff!
Can I get a membership to the slimmons gym? I need some weight loss in my life. I'll even come help you move stuff.. :)
(seeing myself in the DVD is what did it for me...)
<3
Sounds like a good plan G-Money! And I also agree - working in the garage will be exercise in itself!
I think that sounds like a wonderful plan, George!! Pea and I are also on a new plan to eat better and lose weight after plugging our info into a BMI calculator and finding we are both in the over-weight category. Not a surprise to either of us, given how tight all our clothes have become. It's hard work, isn't it? But I know all three of us with succeed!!!!
