...Is apparently the only thing I need to exercise regularly.
Okay. Not True.
I also struggled with finding a buddy to work out with- mainly because most of my friends have access to the BYU facilities and I no longer do- but that was my biggest excuse not to exercise.
I knew that if I gave myself a goal- I needed some kind of accountability- so without it- I wasn't even going to try.
{Lame and Lazy- I know! But that's not what this is about :) }
So after hearing some great advice from our friends- Jed and I decided to give something new a try. They suggested paying themselves .50 cents each/day that they exercise.
So what was the first thing I did? Went and found a VERY CUTE vase to hold our counters.
If you look very closely- you will see our progress:
(view from the top of the vase looking down)
There's that bottom portion of the vase that is taking FOREVER to fill in- but I think we have started to fill the actual vase now.
So we are saving up for the rest of our ski trip (we already had saved up some money from presents etc. but we are going to use this money to pay for the rest.)
It's fun to work towards something as a couple. It binds us together in a new and different way. Last night we watched some funny game show clips on Youtube (totally worth a few minutes BTW) and my abs hurt each time I laughed!
Yay baby! Here's to summer!
Super fun idea! Creative, romantic, silly, fun, all wrapped into one! Next time maybe you could tape some stars on the ceiling for a "night under the stars.." just a thought :)
ReplyDeleteWoops, this comment was for the previous post! But while I'm back, I must say I think the paying yourself for some exercise is a creative idea, and hey-you gotta start somewhere! Good luck, and fill that jar up fast! Not only will you have some cash to work with, you'll look better in whatever you decide to spend your money on! (if it includes clothes :)
