The Apartment Keeps Getting Smaller

Part of being depressed sometimes means BUYING ALL THE THINGS. So it has been over the past year or so. I have been slowly collecting fitness memorabilia and equipment.

I'm pretty sure that owning so much fitness stuff and not managing to work out regularly is an indicator that I'm merely a fitness tourist. The only thing to be done is to work out more and be sure to use all my stuff so that way I feel slightly less guilty about owning it all.

Unfortunately, having so much stuff also means that there is slowly becoming less and less room in my apartment. Pretty decorating choices are eclipsed by yoga balls and jump ropes dangling from the paintings. Weird.

I thought I'd make a little list of my home 'gym' stuff today as a distraction since I've not only not been working out, but I've been wallowing in depression for a few days. Sunday I couldn't even make myself get out of bed until 3 PM and I was feeling like a social pariah at the Halloween parties I attended on Friday and Saturday.

In lieu of actual fitness, I'll write about the things I purchased instead of working out. Win?

Media:
-Insanity DVDs from my Mum's. She got them a few years ago and hated it, so now they are mine!
-P90X DVDs that I got after seeing my BFF+ (Also known as J) have a ton of success with them.
-Yoga DVD from somewhere. Truthfully, I'm not a yoga enthusiast, so I never use it.
-Stability Ball DVD that came with my stability ball. I never use this either.

Technology:
-Zero Weight Scale. Got this in a Groupon deal. It's a really nice scale, actually, and I can set it so that it only tells me my gains/losses rather than my total weight. 
-Pedometer. Came with the scale. Use it sometimes for amusement, but don't find it particularly helpful.
-Wristwatch/Stopwatch/Heart Rate Monitor. Got this a few years ago at Meijer or something. Batteries have finally died, but I am pretty fond of it since I tend to have a stupidly high heart rate at the mere thought of exercise. 
-Fit Radio on my phone. It's nice to have music sometimes!
-MyFitnessPal.com to track calories and exercises on my computer and my phone.
-Food Scale. Yup.

Equipment:
-Jankety Old Stationary Bicycle from St. Vincent Du Paul. It's loud as all get out, so I'm going to get rid of it.
-Pull Up Bar - door mounted
-Gymnastic Rings
-Weight Resistance Bands in assorted thicknesses
-Pull Up Assisting Bands - green, black, purple
-Dumbells - 5 lb and 10 lb
-Kettlebells - 15, 20, 25 lb
-Barbell - 7 ft, 45 lb
-Yoga Mat
-Stability Ball
-Jump Rope
-Cable Speed Jump Rope
-Ab Mat
-Grip Strength Exerciser Squeezy Thing. (*shrug*)


Maybe tonight I'll do some ab work, since apparently I won the ab contest this weekend. I'm positive that it was only because I have boobs and the 'impartial' judge didn't even look below my bra!
