Wow, did I do that?

Options
So, yesterday evening my hubby and I are driving through neighborhood to go to dinner with friends (usual Saturday thing). We drive past a yard sale getting ready to close up. Low and behold there is a stationary bike sitting all by itself. I stopped in the middle of the street..lol. Went to look at it, very ancient. Asked the owner if it worked, yes. Then the dreaded question, "how much". I almost died, $5.00, (money tight). I said sold. Hubby and yard sale hubby load it in car. When we get back on our way, hubby says, "I can't believe you bought that old thing." Told him to shut up (nicely, yeah right), I need to be able to exercise more at home on nights I don't go to gym.

Anyway, if you asked me a month ago if I would ever buy any exercise equipment I would have laughed at you. And $5.00...a steal in my book. MFP has helped me so much in this way of thinking.
