My svelte new body

Sandi and a friend of ours went together and bought a new treadmill. It has an incline adjustment, a calorie counter, a speed adjustment, very colorful lights, and basically a lot of things that are probably very important. When you turn the machine on it’s even more impressive. It even has a beer holder


I used it tonight for the first time. I put on my walking shorts (since I didn’t plan to run, otherwise I would have put on my running shorts) and went out to get fit. I looked at the machine and marveled at everything it could do. Since Sandi set it up in front of the TV in the little house (we had to take out the bed) there weren’t too many excuses left for not using it. It even has a jack where you can listen to music on an MP3 player or iPod.

I stared at it for about five minutes deciding what I wanted to do and closed my eyes imaging my toned body when I was done working out. I punched every button on the front and nothing worked. Just to be on the safe side I turned the TV off and on to no avail.

Finally, after about six minutes I had to go in the house and ask Sandi where the on switch was at. I turned it on for about 20 minutes. I figured that should be enough of a workout the first time out. I wouldn’t want to lose too much weight too quickly.

I have to say for the first time it was a very successful workout. I watched the video, worked up a sweat, my endorphins were elevated, and my heart rate was working at the performance level.

I think I’m going to like this workout thing.

A person doesn't want to rush into these things too quickly.

Tomorrow I may plug it in.
