Getting Healthy....Back to Beach and out with the TV


So for those of you don't know about our recent life change let me fill you in. We recently decided the whole family could use for an overhaul. Larry had a recent visit to the Dr. and she said he has very high cholesterol. One of our biggest downfalls is the TV and video games. We always talk about how much we want to go to the beach, camp and just get out in general. But it is so easy to plop out butts down and watch another hour of mindless reality tv or hours on end of games. WE had it good a 56" High Definition tv, a xbox 360, playstation 3 and a Wii.


But we were getting a bit more round around the middle than should be healthy for anyone.


So here is what we did. We sold the TV all the game systems and electronics and bought a bike and a Kayak. We are still working on bikes for the whole family but it's a start. Larry will be riding his bike to work at least 2 days a week to start and one weekend day. Not only will this help him get back into shape and loose some weight but it will save us in gas $$$ too!!


Boy is his bike pretty!!! The kayak is really cool too!!!



Soooo...how has it been so far? Honestly we don't really miss it. If we absolutely want to watch a movie from Blockbuster or a tv show online we have our computers and the girls still have their tv and stuff.


We haven't gotten into the full swing of things yet but it is a start in a healthy direction.
