splurging on ourselves

July 2nd, 2021 at 02:32 pm

We are going to splurge on ourselves and buy a treadmill...all 3 of us will use it...I think it is something that will get a lot of use...I know they can be expensive but we just need a basic one we don't need one with all the bells and whistles...a couple of reasons why we need it...since my hubby cancer treatment he lost a lot of muscle and can't walk far so it will be easy for him to walk for a little bit then rest then do more if he wants to...he is real shaky on his feet at times so be easier to get some walking in with us around...again with my dizziness it is hard for me to walk any kind of distance...i have trouble walking more than 10 mins and I am someone who use to walk around 10 plus miles a day..I loved walking....still do I just can't do it and I am gaining weight as I can't do much exercise...so this way I can do more walking and if I feel dizzy then can just get off and lay down and they can keep an eye on me without stressing cause I am dizzy and out walking with them as I can go downhill fast....also our daughter who has chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and bipolar as well as a couple other things like to do charity walks so it will help her get more in shape as well....on top of that this winter so far has been cold wet and windy and hard to go anywhere...so this weekend we will do some research and hopefully order one that won't use all our savings...

    I bought one a few months ago and I use it almost everyday. It was well worth the investment. I think I spent just over $500 and ordered it from Amazon. It's basic and came almost fully assembled, I only needed to attach the arms.

    Definitely buy used, that is an item that a lot of people buy and then don’t use.

    I am here only sporadically, but have you had the dizziness checked out? I was experiencing the same, and it can be alleviated very easily by doing certain exercises which you can learn by watching a you tube video. (This is assuming it's crystals dislodged in the inner ear, which I've learned is not uncommon.)

    Here is the one that worked for me.

    We bought a nice used treadmill of FB Marketplace around 2 years ago for $100. My DH doesn't really use it, but I use it almost daily.

    We did buy one today online..so should be here in a week or so depending on stock (our borders are closed so takes longer) we bought it brand new...don't like buying 2nd hand as you just never know how it has been treated and I am a bit of a germaafob...so all we need to do now is move a few things around so we have somewhere to put it

    Fern, yes they have done every test they can think of and scans etc and still can't figure it out...so we just do what we can
