The Secret to Workout Motivation

My husband is a genious. He's figured out the secret to consistently staying motivated to work out:

That's right, play video games *while* you're on the mini home stepper machine :P You can't see it because I couldn't get the pic at an angle where you could see the stepper and the TV, but he is indeed stepping up and down on a little machine "working out" while playing Gran Turismo.

Also pardon the lamp sans lampshade in the pic that's blocking the TV. Still haven't posted a new pic yet of the living room because, as you can see, it's still not totally done. Still need an entertainment unit so the TV can stop resting on my old coffee table and so Willy can have a nightstand again instead of using it to rest all the components on. Obviously still need lampshades to go with the lamps. And we did finally order some curtains for the windows but it'll be a few more weeks before those come in. Who knew, by the way, that curtains could be so expensive! *sigh* but this home and all its accoutrements (did I spell that right?) are what we've been penny pinching for all these years so we have to indulge ourselves a little, right?

For the time being, here's a pic of the table in the eat-in kitchen area. We got a counter-height

table, which is a lot of fun. Like our dining room table, this table also has a hidden butterfly leaf so the table opens up to a big square. We wanted the option of having more seating for all my family if we ever get around to hosting them all at the house. Half the family still hasn't seen our place!
