Have you ever noticed that putting together furniture or equipment brings out the worst in people? It has been seven months since our baby Quincy was born. I've been looking forward to the day when I could start exercising for a long time now. What I didn't realize is that in order to begin my workout routine I would have to do the following: get dressed in BYU-I approved clothing, drop Quincy off with a sitter, drive to the university, spend 15 minutes looking for a parking spot, wait 15 minutes for a machine to open up, finally get to my workout (!), drive back to the sitter and finally go home. After doing this a total of two times, I decided it wasn't worth the hassle. Thus ended my hopes for fitting in to my pre-pregnancy jeans any time soon. Then I had a bright idea. Why not bring the gym home. I began looking for a reasonably priced elliptical machine. In case you were wondering, reasonably priced ehlipticals don't exist for college students unless you shop at K-Mart. I finally found what I thought would be a perfect answer to my problem. Stephen and I (mostly Stephen) went straight home and began putting this thing together. As I watched him, I began planning out in my head the my new routine. Wake up, feed Quincy, work out, shower. I couldn't wait for the next day to get started. My daydreaming was brought to a halt as I heard mumbling and pounding. Turns out the K-Mart brand elliptical was quite the nightmare to put together. To make a long story short, two steps from completing my new home gym, we discovered that it was a piece of hud and decided to return it. We stuffed it back into the jeep and returned it. An entire weekend wasted. I guess I will go back to my oh so convenient schedule.
