It's been quite some time since I posted anything to my blog. I won't apologize because that would make it seem like I have this big head and think that millions of people read my blog - and they don't - but, just in case you do and you like it..well ok...I apologize for not writing anything in a while.
It's not that I've been overly busy doing all kinds of wild and wonderful things. I haven't (damnit). Just the normal 50 hour work week, laundry, cooking, cleaning, shopping with Mom and walking....
Yes, walking.
I bought a treadmill.
And I'm using it.
And I like it.
Ok, so I am nuts, but I like the damned thing. I get on there for at least 30 minutes a night at 3.5 mph and sweat my tush off (or at least I HOPE I can sweat my tush off).
I know that doesn't sound fast, but my sister is going at 2.0 mph on her's and she walks 1 mile in 30 minutes.
I can, and have, and do almost nightly, walk 1 mile in 17 minutes flat.
The roomie says I trot, not walk. (Hmmmm...I trot, I sweat...does that make me hot to trot???)
I am not doing this to fight getting old, cause that is going to happen whether I like it or not. But I am doing it to maybe help tighten up a little, and maybe help with the ole stiff leg and achy bones thing. And...it is good for me mentally. I concentrate on what I am doing and escape the world, or just walk fast and watch tv.
But I have learned one thing.
Do not try to walk at 3.5 - 3.7 mph while watching Planets Funniest Animals. You can mistep on your treadmill and go flying off the back into the wall.
Trust me on that one.
Anyway, I'll try to be around more. Hope you will be too.
