I lost my exercise equipment! Oh wait, there it is: I must have forgot what it looked like
Yesterday, I said that I was going to take the rest of the day to clean out my refrigerator, dust off my exercise equipment and get ready for next week’s fast paced fitness obsession. But I hit a bit of a snag when looking for my steps, weights, yoga mat, pedometer and much more. Where did it all go? I could not have lost all of it.
The first thing that came to mind is that I had packed it away somewhere and it got shuffled in the move and is buried somewhere in our house. But then it hit me. I had just recently threatened to get rid of my husband’s golf clubs since he has not used them in three years. Go ahead, say it, I am a bad wife by threatening this. But he has not used them and we have nowhere to store them and when I asked him when he was planning on going golfing he said he had no clue because there is no time to go. But that is a different topic for probably a different blog.
After I had threatened that, he turned to me and threatened to get rid of all my exercising videos and equipment because he said that he has not seen me use the items in two months. Wow! Two whole months! A big difference from three years. So what did I do? I confronted him. I first asked nicely if he has seen the items and where they were. He said that he had no idea and if I cannot keep track of them there is no need to keep them. Boy did I blow up!
After I let some steam out about his comment he followed it up with “Here they are. They are in the laundry room on the shelf.” Phew, what a relief, but why were they in there. I never would have put them there. “It has been some time since you used them, maybe you just forgot what they looked like.” He said as he laughed and walked away.
GRRRRR! I wanted to smack him so bad, but was happy I still had my exercising equipment. Cannot wait to become reacquainted with them next week. So tell me this? When was the last time you used your exercising equipment? If it has been awhile, don’t you think it is time you get reacquainted with it?
Well, I have to run! Happy dieting!
