So I have yet another project. Perhaps this one should be 'waistline' instead of treadmill.
You see, I love to run. I ran in school. I ran in the military. I run to relieve stress. I never ran to 'stay in shape'. But as anyone knows things change as you age. As my hubby likes to say "You're pushing f-f-f-forty." (Thanks hun) But I do not like to run in the city. Cars stink. To much exhaust, fumes, icky stuff. So I longed for a treadmill. A couple years ago my wish came true and hubby got me one for christmas. I used it regularily for awhile but was finding I was soooo tired all the time I stopped. Then summer came so I went outside with kids instead, got a new job and kind of forgot about it. In the fall I decided to get back on it. Was doing well until I broke my toe. Waitd for the foot to heel (8 weeks)and started up again. Then I had a head injury at work. Waited for that to heal (10 weeks for the headaches to stop) and then got back at it. Then had a major allergy attack while doing inventory at the job and waited for that to clear up (5 weeks). Then another summer and another new job. Turns out I was allergic to the job so I had sinus/breathing issues for 6 months. No treadmill. So the foots better, the head is better, the sinuses have cleared since leaving the last job and the waistline is starting to grow. So I got back at the treadmill a month ago. I've been doing pretty good but not as much as I should. I'd like to do 5 days a week. 3 would be good for now but I average 2. Bleah. Seems like I can ALWAYS find something else to do. Running on a treadmill is really boring. You can't really do anything else but watch TV. I tried reading a book once but hahaha. I am getting faster on it and doing each session longer so hopefully it will help with my potato chip addiction. mmmmmm. I love potato chips.
I have been the same height since 12. I have been the same pant/dress size since 15 yrs old. But things have redistributed. I still wear stuff I bought in 1992. I'd like to keep it that way. So ...

treadmill. It's a love/hate relationship.
You could try eating chips and running. Might work, but then, the chips might cancel out all the hard work.
ReplyDeleteHaha.That would be too funny.
ReplyDeletelol Oh, my Anna! you think like your father! hehe! I love chips too! I especially like the lightly salted old dutch. My favorite. That doesn't help now does it?
