Happy Healthy Monday
I hope everyone has had a great week. Mine was okay. I am very frustrated that people have not come look at the
house. It’s been on the market now 3 week, today, and only 1 person walked through. Although I am so exhausted from the weekend that the house isn’t ready for showing so I am sure someone will call today and I will be in a pinch.
Due to the fact that we might have 2 mortgages for a time we have been cutting back on things. One thing that is going is the gym. We really haven’t used it all that much this past year and for a good workout you really dont’ need a gym. So we are cancelling that.
I really need to get back to eating healthier. The past month or so I have slipped because I was so busy getting the house ready that I didn’t have time to prepare meals. Now that most of that is done and we are in a waiting pattern I need to get back to it. I have no idea how much I even weight but I am sure it isn’t good.
Okay back to work! Hope you have a great day. Here is a recipe to try.

That recipe looks yummy.
I hear you on the cost of gym. We were going to try to add a membership but we just can’t right now.=/
Cleaning can burn a lot of calories so I hope you get your cleaning on this week while you watch what you eat!!

I am sorry about not being able to sell your house I wish you luck on that!
We can not afford the gym either so most of my exercising is done at home. I wished I had a treadmill, but in spite of that I do go for walks and do the circuits. I try to get on the EA Sports 4 times a week also. That recipe looks awesome…I’ll have to give it a try. Good luck with selling the house. It’s not in NC by any chance is it LOL.
I hope it sells soon. That is stress you don’t need. At least the weather is improving so you don’t have to rely on the gym to workout.
I can relate with the house stuff. We’re in the process of trying to sell right now and have already bought a house. I hope you get a buyer soon.
You’re absolutely right, the gym doesn’t guarantee a good workout. You have to be more creative but you can totally come up with something great that works for you at home. (you might try entering some of the Bookieboo giveaways, there are always great DVD’s up for grabs ;P)
