Dallas is literally the HARDEST person to buy a gift for. I haven’t gotten him anything big in a while for a few reasons… 1. He doesn’t NEED anything 2. If he wants something, he just goes out and buys it. 3. In the past I always felt weird getting him gifts with his money as he used to be the only “bread winner” in the fam. In my mind it went a little something like this… “Hey Dall, happy birthday, look what I bought you – with. your. own. money…, hope ya like it!” 🤣 So! I have been saving money earned from my online health & wellness coaching biz to have enough stashed away to SURPRISE Dallas with a CONCEPT 2 ROWER for his Christmas/Birthday Present this year!!! Over the past year I have been keeping my eye out for a USED rowing machine- But by the time I would message the seller they had already been sold! So, this morning when my buddy Haley, text me at 7 am to tell me someone LOCALLY was selling USED rowing machines I WAS ON TOP OF IT!! Rowing is one of my absolute favorite cardio exercises next to sweating it out with my favorite trainer Shaun T. For those that know me well, know that I HATE running. But throw a rower in front of me and I’m a happy girl. {{continued in comments below}} • • • • • #concept2rower #concept2 #concept2rowing #rowingmachine #rowingworkout #rowingmachineworkout #iloverowing #anythingbutrunning #christmaspresents #latechristmasgifts #earlybirthdaygift #earlybirdgetstheworm #happybirthday #myhubbyrocks #hustle #goforyourdreams #goforyourgoals #chaseyourdreams #youcandoit #ineedtoloseweight
