Just so you know

Now I will probably loose some of you here but it is in my head so I am going to go there.
When my son was little we watched a cartoon called Duck Tales. It was about Donald Duck and the three little guys who were his nephews . Do you remember their names?
One day Donald found a harp that was magic and it could tell if someone was telling the turth.
The first 30 seconds of this video will show you what I am talking about.

And for years after wards I would have loved to have been able to say,......You a re fibbing, fibbing,fibbing!......to some people I have known. Although had I done that it probably would have confirmed the ideas they already had about me. :)
And so without further to do so you will know that I am not fibbing, fibbing, fibbing about all this exercising I have been doing...here are those pictures I talked about yesterday.
I said that I was going to get some pictures of my work out area and friend....but Elayne preferred not to be photographed without her makeup. I decided to honor her wishes. I was going to get a picture of her from behind while she was lifting weights (she said I could)--- but just about that time the batteries went out.
She figured it was probably just God protecting her and sparing you. :)
So today you just get pictures of equipment and me.
Joy, Joy! :)

When I got there Elayne had to check something out upstairs and so I went on down to turn on the lights and this is what I saw. Just so you know she has not gotten to work out with me the last two days because she was babysitting her grand-kids...... and that has made her a tad antsy. So I gave her permission ;) to work us out really hard today.
Then when I walked in and saw this new device, I thought...Oh my goodness!
I figured it was some type of torture device in disguise.
And I would find out later...it was! :)
Below is usually where I get started. If we are just doing a day of aerobics we will do 15 minutes on each of these machines. I start on the bike and Elayne starts on the elliptical.
And generally we talk until I no longer can. ;)
The machine on the far left is the one I am on in the last shot. I don't know the names of most of these....but I do know the pain they can inflict. LOL
Below is another portion of the room. See that blue blob leaning up against the wall.....it can cause major pain to stomach muscles...and yes, that is a good thing.
On the wall (hanging up) to the far left, is a device that helps me do stomach crunches without killing my neck. The other torture devices found there--- I have not had the pleasure of being introduced to yet. Oh the anticipation!
The machine in the center is the one I use when we are both working out on benches. So picture me with my hands behind me on the bench while lowering my patoot to the floor..well almost to the floor and back up again. There are many other divine things that can be done on this bench which often cause me to say, Good gooo-ba-ly goo! or maybe..... jeesem petes!
And here is the picture of me, I promised you.
Does the picture look a little strange to you?
Yes? Hmmmm, I wonder what is wrong?

Well surely you did not expect me to put a picture here that you could clearly see.
:)
Let's wait until the scale starts moving a tad.
And since I am seeing my body change...but not the scale...Elayne has asked me to start writing down all I eat. Yikes! I am in trouble now!
But really, that is fine because summer is fast approaching and I want the things that I wore this past summer to be to big for me when I pull them out.
But not to worry....there are other things stored that I will be able to wear... for awhile at least.
That is what happens when you loose a large amount of weight and gain it back. :(
But smaller things are coming!
