My NEW Gym!!!!

So Paul finally let me have a little space at the "top" of our garage to make a gym out of. I have to say I LOVE it!!!! Here are a few shots of what it really looks like!!!

This is the main layout. We have a TV which I will be adding a DVD player to and my work out video's will be going in the blue stand underneath it. There is the elliptical we just got for $80 on Craigslist. LOVE that site!!! I have a weight "stand" over nex to the TV where my hand weights, Paul's perfect pushups,a kettlebell, and a basketball (that is suppose to resemble a medicine ball) sit, Paul's punching bag, a chair for squats and resting, and our scale. We even had the PERFECT amount and shapes of carpet to lay down so that I don't have to sit on the actual garage floor. It's so wonderful!!!




This is the view coming in from the house.




Here is the TV... not yet hooked up...




The new elliptical with my nasty sweat band...




The weight stand. This is going to improve when we can spend more money on more weights...




Paul's punching bag and the view from the back of the garage...




Riann woke up from her nap and wanted to help clean...




She just HAD to sweep the floor!!!




She's pretty excited about the new gym too!!!



The sad thing is I haven't been able to use it too much yet because my schedule has been pretty crazy but it's fun to have a place to look forward to. I can't wait to really get working out there. I just need a treadmill now and maybe a step to do stair stepper videos and it would be PERFECT!!!! Now if only I could find REAL time to get my butt in gear and get out and use it!!! I'm hoping to be down 20-30 pounds by the end of the year and maybe I'll really be able to push through and be 60-80 pounds down by this time next year!!! That would be AMAZING!!!!

How great! Looks like you might have some room for a few friends too since that helps me to workout more.

Looks great! We're going to try to make an exercise nook in the basement this weekend (maybe...). And your darling little girl isn't looking so much like a baby girl these days, but a full-fledged toddler! I can't believe it!

I'm so jealous!!! That looks awesome! I'll be honest... even if I had all the stuff to work out, I still doubt I would... I'm way too lazy... But I'm still so jealous! Haha. And Riann is getting so big!!!!! I need to see you guys again soon! And we need to catch up sometime.

it looks awesome! Riann is so stinking cute Cheris! You are going to do an awesome job when you start working out. Mary Kay said that if you get up 1 hour earlier 3 times a week, you get an extra day in your week. It's worked well for me so far! Hope you're doing great, keep up the good work girly!
