So, I'm back at the gym again. Forty-five minutes a day. Walking on the treadmill. (I get the other 15-30 walking the dogs every morning, which is way more fun.)
I have to admit, it feels like a giant waste of time. I haven't become steady enough to read on the treadmill yet, so I stare at the bank of televisions and plot destruction. I'm currently pondering mutant big mouthed bass, an exploding hospital, and a more in-depth revisiting of the Hyacinth Club -- possibly a supernatural one.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not really complaining. I got the hospital bills for the surgery in April. $100,000.
One hundred THOUSAND dollars.
That's a one with 5 zeros.
I'll walk on the damned treadmill to keep from getting another bill list that, or a stroke, which would suck. Trodge trodge trodge.
Trodge.
Much love, y'all.

Good for you for going to the gym. I feel your pain, I haven't lost any additional weight in almost a year, I've changed my routine, started lifting weights, increased the level on the elliptical, switched to using the elliptical the whole time instead of just the treadmill and still NOTHING *sigh*
My hubs reminds me I could probably run farther if there was a zombie apocalypse and I most likely wouldn't die in the first wave, so at least there's that /o\ (he's half joking half serious BTW
Now that we're moving & I'm looking for a job my routine will change again, less time each day but more days of the week, so maybe that will do the trick, who knows.
I usually park myself in front of the tv showing TNT & watched Charmed & Supernatural (and plot stories in my head - I wish I could dictate but that really wouldn't work in the gym environment...)
I guess, bottom line, keep trudging, you may not SEE the benefits, but they are there. When I started I could only do about five min on the elliptical on the LOWEST level. Now I can get up to level 9 or 10 on a good day for an extended period of time. Just keep trudging away and I'll cheerlead whenever you need it!

Go you! Don't worry about the hosp bill just keep paying on it. I'm so very proud of you and love you so xoxo
