1 YEAR AND I AM FINALLY USING IT....
How pathetic. I bought a really nice treadmill, I mean top of the line, included a fan, MP3 outlet, massive incline, fold up storage, TV w/cable access nice.... the funny part... I have had this beast of equipment for a year, and this morning was my 6th time on it. However...(not making any excuses for the lack of use) lighting did strike it, and put it out of commission for a while, (but I probably still would have let it sit there)!
I only walked for a mile (but it was a fast paced mile). I can't believe how totally out of shape I am. (UGGGGGGGGGGGGG) However I was up at 5 am, instead of finding some lamo excuse to lay in bed until 6:30 like every morning which causes me to be in the most unbareable rush to get out the door, kid to school and at work by 8.
I feel better though, it feels good. Just gotta keep it up. I noticed something heart breaking yesterday while riding bikes w/ my 10 year old. There were some boys that were about his age playing along our ride, I noticed my son sped up to go ahead of me. My motherly thought.... it is normal for a child to be imbarrassed by a parent and naturally wants to look as if they are by thereselves and independent. However, the fat butt side of me said..." oh my God, I am so disgusting that he doesn't even want to be associated with me. I know that's not true though all kids are imbarrassed by their parents, fat or skinny.
Anyway, feeling good, walking the treadmill with the dust on it, riding the bike, doing the Weight Watchers and getting it all out.... can't wait for Friday's weigh in.
