This or That…

August 26, 2013 16 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I have to be honest for a minute…I’m not made of money.  Shocker right?!  That doesn’t stop me of dreaming of the things I would get if there weren’t things like a mortgage, child care and food to pay for.  So as I contemplate what I would get if someone handed me a couple bucks, I thought it would be fun to see what you would do. 

Ready?

Gym Membership

Triathlon Bikes

Triathlon Watches

I’m sure there are more but these would be the things I looked at buying first. 

What’s on your wish list?  Are you struggling with any This/That purchases right now?  

The Enlightened Ice Cream Giveaway is still open.  Register today!
Also, the voting is still open for GotChocolateMilk’s Team Refuel. I would really appreciate your vote. Vote Today!

    Crossfit has been on my wish list for awhile but I can’t justify the cost of a box membership right now. Second choice would be a bike. Good luck choosing!

    I’d go for the Y membership, so I could swim year-round!

    CrossFit! I already belong to a really great gym system, so justifying an additional CrossFit membership is out of the question for me. So were money not an issue, that’s where I’d put it. Good luck making your choice!

    I would loooove that Polar watch! I’m eyeing a $79 half zip (that I need like another hole in the head)in the Athleta catalog. But I picked up a $17.99 Costco special that looks pretty good–we’ll see!

    I’m really struggling with a watch decision right now. My garmin is on it’s final leg and I REALLY need a new watch. I’ve looked at so many and just can’t make up my mind. Do I go with a running watch like I have, or go to the 910XT because I am doing another half iron and a full iron next year? And even on that note, paying for any watch is going to be not-so fun…GPS is expensive!!

    I love my gym, but I too might switch to the YMCA if money were no issue. The Y’s near me are great for families.

    I love crossfit, but it is also the only gym I belong to. My wish list would include a new garmin and probably a TM upgrade to a Woodway.

    Crossfit is something that is a permanent part of our budget because I love it so much, so its non negotiable 🙂 However, if we had extra money, I would love to get a bike and a new, less bulky garmin.

    I’m a big backer of Garmin (I think I’m like 4 generations deep in Forerunners). I love my 910XT especially for the stroke efficiency analysis on the swim. If you’re sticking with triathlon, that’d be my pick.

    I like Crossfit, but even though I thought I was going to make it more often, but I’ve been a little swamped at work; and here’s the thing… Although WODs are short in time, factoring in the warm-up, and the fact that the time slots are more of a guideline (they don’t start the WOD till a few people show up) and no showers on site, they can be a little too big a time suck in light of the stuff you talk about in the “Working Mom’s Practical Guide to Staying Fit”.

    Bikes are big in my future… mountain or tri, though?
