My “weeding” begins.

The machine.

Yes, that is a tread mill. MY treadmill! You have no idea how excited I was when my knight led me to this room and I discovered what he had actually done.

Let me elaborate….. since our move 3 months ago, this room had literally been piled with boxes and boxes (who knows what is in them, but clearly have not needed them yet), and bags and bags of curtains (mostly mine) and books (also mine). We just shut the door, and every now and then when we need to go in there….. we make it quick. Out of sight, out of mind is my philosophy!!! My knight is convinced that since I have not needed any of it yet, I may never! Remember he is a huge minimalist. No rugs yet; no coffee tables yet; no ornaments displayed yet; no shelves for books yet; and nothing, nothing, nothing on our walls- yet.  (But keep note- yet!) I am working on it- slowly though so he doesn’t get a fright. My knight believes that these things are merely dust collectors!! I believe that they actually make a house- a home.

My treadmill was in our OTHER storeroom! The garage! How can I even begin to explain the catastrophe that has been created in there. The fact however was (and still is) that we could not park a car in there. We haven’t even contemplated that though. I am sure that he may have had to scrape the dust off! (But I didn’t mention that).

My initial intentions were to eventually have this little room converted from a “store” room to the room that houses “the machine”. That way it would also be difficult to make excuses about not getting onto it. (And although I have not been super enthusiastic- I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW, I need to.) It would also be a perfect place to house our bicycles, which I was never enthusiastic about having…… in fact, I NEVER actually wanted! (See the post about that here.) My knights bicycles have their own room, our guest bedroom!! The bed gets covered in all his tools that he uses to do magical things to his “mistresses”.  (That is how much time AND MONEY he spends on them).

That cannot continue forever. Eventually we will have a guest. (Perhaps one of you?)

Back to story…..  I was filled with joy and ACTUALLY excited about this. The fact is that it may will help me with the “weeding” I need to do….. see my post on that here. He realised it straight away! (Think he was proud that he managed to get it done.)

I got onto my bicycle,  (which i have been riding a little (surprizingly), in fact on Saturday the 1st of Jan we did about 8kms), dragged my princess out onto the road, just to get some real exercise into her….. didn’t last long, from her side however. Back to house, and into “the machine’s” room….. and ON!

My proof

  

There she comes.

 

Henry came down to say hi.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I did shockingly! BUT I WAS ON! Spent about 25 minutes on there, only 8 of those were actually RUNNING. The rest I was trying to catch my breath. BUT I was there… and I was “weeding!”

The other serious “weeding” that i needed to do, has also been dealt with “somewhat” yesterday. I did wake up early, and I did get my butt into gear. I ate healthy (to add to the little exercise above). I did work through my 2011 diary, and move everything that i needed to from 2010’s diary. Okay- maybe the last one- i havent actually touched yet. Taking down the Christmas decorations. (I think i am hoping that fairies will appear and do it for me!) Let’s see.   

I think that was a good start to the first Monday of 2011.

What did you do yesterday that you feel proud of?
