The Treadmill

So I bought a treadmill in 2006. It was at the rental house and then we moved it home with is. It has sat in the den since we got back to the house, that would be September 15, 2006. Just sat there. Collected dust and sweaters.

Last week, I touched it and went on it once.

Since Monday, I have been on it twice. Stacy is doing a talk and talk. So she walked and someone on the same cell carrier calls and they walk. Well heck, I want to do it to. So yesterday Sherry and I were to talk and walk. But it did not work out :( But I did it anyway. I warmed up for about 2 minutes and then RAN, well a slow jog for 10 minutes, then walked for another 3. I thought I would DIE. But I was all smiles because I DID IT. That was exciting.

So tonight, Sherry and I had another appointment. We did it! 20 minutes and I ran on and off. I am dang excited. Everything is a step closer to where I want to be. Everything is small steps and I am ok with that.

Stacy and I and other on SS have lots of cheerleaders going on. This is catching, this is fun. There is something about getting on the scale and posting that number out there that make it real, accountable and just not so bad. Every little loss is celebrated. I think all the women on the board are amazing and that we can do anything we want together. We have each other and that makes it easier to do.

So here we go on the journey of a lifetime, to healthier us, to SS and to everyone trying to win the battle of the bulge!
