Fall in love again

I just fell in love again… with my treadmill.

I know you’re thinking… “She owns a treadmill?…  And shes chubby?”

Nonesense, right?  One would think these things are mutually exclusive by they are not my friends.

 

Happily, I got back on the treadmill.  I believe this is due to my extreme laziness that has prevented me from driving 5 miles to my gym and attending spinning classes.

 

How fun is it to watch Wheel of Fortune when running?  You have no idea!  Lemme break it down:

 

A – I love Wheel of Fortune

B – I love shouting– even when it’s just answers at the TV

C – Apparently I love running again.  I feel so stealthy!

 

Maybe I was inspired by James’ running experiment… or maybe it feels good to run when you are down 10 or so pounds and have less chub to lug around… maybe I felt motivated because I got a postcard from my friends at weight watchers congratulating me on my benchmark loss of 10 pounds…

 

All I know is…I’m in love again.  Its like a new romance – or more accurately, a reconciled one.  I know my treadmill has been there for me all along – waiting by itself in the corner, just hoping I would jump on.  And I did!  I feel whole again. 

 

Treadmill, “you complete me”. 

 

XOXO, Laura

I love the treadmill too but sadly I don’t own one so I have to go to the gym. More sadly, the gym that I am a member to increased the membership fee drastically, forcing me to run in the streets or in the park to exercise.

It’s whatever motivates you and works! If it’s a treadmill and the “Wheel” – then that’s what it is. I go in streaks with the treadmill. Right now I’m not using it (it sits in the corner…). I’m preferring to run outside. Maybe that will change, and I’ll be back on the treadmill. Whatever the case, the key is that you like it. Wishing you continued success!

Well Done Laura. I looked in the mirror today and did not like wat I saw. Went for a walk the day before and I loved it. Will be doing it more often from now on.

I love running on the treadmill and outside. I think mixing it up a little bit keeps it interesting, cause I get bored.
