What a great combination. All on his own, my husband has been a HUGE part of my success so far and on-going. Even today, his support was brought into sharp focus when I met a woman at the gym/pool who I'd seen before, she reminded me of me when I first started, mostly because she needed a walker to get around, but in my age group and all. She commented that she'd seen me a lot and said "you come here a lot don't you?" I said yes. I came 3 to 4 times a week. She looked wistful for a moment, and my heart really broke because she said she wished she could, but she didn't have anyone to bring her. That would be my problem too. No car, I can't walk 3 miles (yet), I wouldn't be able to get to the gym if hubby wouldn't take me, even on days like today when he wanted to take a rest day before going to work tomorrow... he took me! He stayed in the car the whole time reading a kindle book and doing stuff on his phone... he could have been doing any number of other things, but he took me to the gym for almost 2 hours. Thank you SO MUCH, Bob (BobP56).
Now add to that, cyberMonday and this has been a pretty cool day. I'd told hubby this morning that I'd found my next fitness watch that I wanted to get. It's the Garmin Vivoactive HR. It's on Amazon for $169.99. It does EVERYTHING and then some, INCLUDING SWIMMING tracking laps and stroke length, and all sorts of things. It has indoor rowing AND open water rowing (I love to Kayak in the warm weather). It also has indoor AND outdoor biking, and GPS tracking for mileage. Of course it tracks steps, running and is a constant heart rate monitor. It's well... awesome. Hubby asked me if it was a CyberMonday deal and I said I hadn't even thought about that. It might be since it is normally over $250, but, I said even that would be okay when I get enough saved up for it.
He told me on the way home that my early Christmas Present should be here on Thursday. Yep, I am getting that awesome Vivoactive HR!
Here's a video about it:
I will do a full review once I have it and have used it for a few workouts!
