One small step...
We did it- we got a treadmill. Got a good deal on a floor-model that was on sale- so not too much damage done money-wise. Got it in the house, temporarily set up in the living room (it's going in the downstairs when we get it set up as our "new" bedroom)...
Anyways- I did a full hour, at 3.5-4.8... and felt great after! Who knew? I haven't done a damn thing for exercise other than random outdoor walks and a few videos (not THOSE ones ) So, this is real sweating work for me now! WHEW!
I also got me some whey protein powder and a new shaker, it's not so bad...so I mixed up a double shot of it right after my new workout! One SMALL step! Oh, then I pushed DH on the treadmill, and away from the chocolate --- instead he had a bowl of Keto Crisp.

Tandi, you'll love this--- I got up at 6am and dragged my sleepy butt on it again. Whee!
I did 2 miles at 3.5 instead, my legs were aching from last night at first, so I calmed it down a bit. Still, it's a change.
Oh--- and 20 oz of water with my double scoop of whey protein.... let's hope this works!!

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are rocking on that thing! There are a couple videos out (you might be able to find at the Library) that incorporate hand weights into your treadmill walk. It's kind of fun but it's a little trecherous if you aren't paying attention
You're going to do so great with this exercise - I just know it!

You know, Tandi--- this treadmill came with a set of smallish handweights! I haven't tried doing both, but I did try swinging my arms--- and it raises my heart rate immediately! Whee! I don't mind looking like a moron in my own house.

Someday I'll fly, someday I'll soar,
someday I'll be so damn much more than my body gives me credit for.
Why is it not my time? What is there more to learn?
Shed this skin I've been tripping in, never to quite return...
