10 Reasons I bought a treadmill online from Wal-Mart without even trying it out first:
10. I have way too many things recorded on my DVR.
9. I had not made a New Year's resolution yet and I really wanted to go with something unique.
8. I am too lazy to join the Y. If there's no good parking I'll just drive home, and maybe stop at Taco Bell for a bean burrito on the way. (I have NO shame!)
7. It should embarrass me more to tell people that I'm "eating for two" and then point to my pregnant sister-in-law's belly.
6. I should not be able to keep pace with her 2nd trimester snacking schedule, but I do.
5. It's a walking treadmill that's motor doesn't even go above 4 mph...so it's not like there's any danger of me accidentally breaking into a slow jog.
4. I can't afford the $700 "treadmill desk" and I'm not sure my boss would let me walk while I work...seems I have a reputation for being a bit clumsy.
3. I am hoping this return to the only proven exercise I've ever enjoyed will lead to other exciting and glorious health accomplishments.
2. I look forward to seeing what fun Murphy will have when I take him for nice, long, "walks."
1. MOST IMPORTANTLY: You can only buy new underwear so many times before you have to make some BIG CHANGES.
So, there you have it. Today I will post a picture of the Geriatric Walk-Mill 2000. When it arrives I will post my before picture. Oh dear me. Maybe I should just post a picture of the before underwear? Not me IN the underwear, mind you. . . wait--I just remembered that MY GRANNY reads this blog. Picture of me, fully clothed, sucking it in, to follow.
