I DID IT!!!!
Just had to brag.... Yesterday I got up and decided to walk on the treadmill. I didn't exercise last week because I had a cold and the day I did try I about passed out and didn't give it any effort. Since I was feeling better, just a lingering cough, I decided to give it a shot. My treadmill has several differet pre-programmed workouts to choose from. I chose one that had the highest speed of 4.5 mph and the incline went to 6 out of 10. I usually chose this program because it is 30 minutes, but I keep decreasing the speed to 3.5 at the most and keep knocking the incline down as I need through the workout. I decided yesterday to just go with the program and try to make it. I DID IT!!! I kept up the whole program. I even jogged at the 4.5 mph for the whole time the program did...I think it was 6 minutes. I didn't see how many calories and carbs it burned because I was playing with my dvd player remote and accidentally pulled the emergency stop cord that was attached to me and stopped the treadmill during the cooldown (last 6 minutes of the program). I turned the machine back on and picked up at the speed I was walking and slowly worked my way down to cool down. I'll give it a shot again to see how many carbs and calories it burned. I bought a new DVD of 80's song videos, there were like 15 songs, and I also got a DVD of Brad Paisley videos to watch while walking. I watched Kenny Chesney yesterday and it went so fast. Oh, and my 4 yr old son kept coming in to see me and he said "You're doing a great job, mom!" How sweet.
Had to share my progress,

That is awesome! YAY!!!! Keep up the great work!!! The treadmill is my favorite thing to do at the gym! LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Plug the headphones in and dial right into the tv and go. Makes the time go by sooo much faster. Man I need a cheerleader like that though! What a great motivator!
You are doing so great! YAY!!!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Hugs,

Tabby, that is so fantastic. I hope one day to be able to do that. I tried one of the programs this week and just couldn't keep up with the pace. I am not to the point of being able to run on the treadmill yet, so once it gets up past the 3.0 speed, I have to kick it back down. I do let it do the incline part though. I will get there though, that is a goal of mine. I love to put the TV on and often have CMT on and watch the country videos and get going with them. You mentioned Kenny Chesney. I was in tears this weekend. My girls and I are going to the Kenny Chesney, Brooks and Dunn, Sugarland, Sara Evans, Pat Green concert on June 9. I had mentioned it to them that we all should go and see Kenny . When I checked out the price of tickets I gave up all hopes of going since they were so expensive. Here they surprised me by buying the tickets, so we are going to be going. I am so excited. Kenny fills our Heinz Field which is where our Steelers play. But just wanted to share incase there are any other country music fans out there. Again, congrats Tabby......Gay
TABBY, WHAT A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT. I CAN'T IMAGINE RUNNING THAT FAST, NOT EVEN DOWN THE HALL OF THE HOSP. FOR AN EMERGENCY. BUT I WOULD RUN IF IT WAS KENNY AT THE END OF THE HALL 
OH MY GOD, THAT CUTE LITTLE TUSH, I COULD JUST TAKE A BIG BIT OUT OF IT. 
I'M JUST CURIOUS, HOW CAN A TREADMILL CALCULATE YOUR CALORIES AND CARBS BURNED?
I MADE A GREAT EFFORT MYSELF YESTERDAY, I WALKED A TOTAL OF 1 MILE. NOW FOR ME THAT'S A MILE STONE, BEING A SEVERE ASTHMATIC I WAS LUCKY AT TIMES TO BE ABLE TO WALK UP THE STAIRS OF MY OLD HOUSE IN NEW YORK.
AGAIN, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
