Investing in my health...

I had been sidelined with the flu last week, so I'm just now getting back to working out and eating normally this week. My suspicions that I might have tendonitis in my left arm have been confirmed by my chiropractor. He did some adjustments on my arm, which did help, but he told me the usual recoup time is 6 weeks, which I already knew. I can still work out, I just have to be mindful of how I grip weights and keep the weights lower than I'm used to.


I'm also looking into purchasing a new set of weights. Costco is now carrying the Bowflex dumbell weights. The price looks good, plus they come with a stand. I mentioned something to Michael about these weights and he didn't say much but he had that look on his face that said "you don't need those." I'm torn. I do have some money set aside, which will not disrupt our household finances, but it is an expense. I feel like I've gotten my money's worth on the Bowflex I bought over a year ago, so I know I would definetly use these weights. Besides, there's nothing stopping Michael from using these weights... Hmmmm...

Hiya Irene!
I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. The flu can definately be a butt kicker. So far it has bypassed me *crossing fingers*.

That weight set looks kind of cool. It reminds me of something you'd see in a futuristic type movie. And I see it has casters too. You could tether it to your waist, wheel it around the house and get an extra workout while your doing your housework...haha.

LOL! Hey, you might have something there! Drag around weights while doing housework or at the office... I did get the weight set but mine didn't come with the casters... Gosh darn it!
