I'm Gettin' a Treadmill tonight!!!!!

[December99]

I'm actually kind of excited. I've been wanting one for quite a while. My aunt and uncle just sold their house and they are spending their time RVing now so they are selling everything in their house that their kids don't want. I told my aunt a few months ago when she told me about this that if she was going to sell it to let me know. So she called last night and asked if I was interested and I'm picking it up tonight. It's a good one - has the power incline, the cup holders, ALL the digital stuff - heartrate thing, miles, speed, etc., and is a good brand. I figured if I went out and bought a new one similar to this it would be around $1000-$1500 and she only wants $300. So I figured I couldn't beat it. She takes very good care of her things so I know it will be in good shape!

Now, the first workout will be getting it up the stairs to the bedroom!!!!!!

Wonderful. Now just walk and walk and pretend you're going from Splash mountain all the way over to Buzz!

Awesome! I have one of those expensive ones and really like all the neat things it can do. How terrific that you got a great deal on it and will have it in your bedroom to use!

Have fun!

If you've got room for a treadmill, you sure have room to do WATP

Good for you, 99. Now, be sure you don't let that treadmill gather dust, you use it. You are definitely on your way to goal now. It won't be <i>if</i> you reach goal--it is simply a matter of <i>when</i> you reach goal, now.

This is exciting, isn't it?

What a sweet deal! Good for you!!!!!!!! I know you will get many hours of use out of your new treadmill. Have fun!

So, did you hop on your new treadmill and take it for a "test drive" last night, or are you still struggling to get it up the stairs? Inquiring minds want to know.

Seriously, if you can get into the habit of walking on it every day, it will make the biggest difference in your weight loss. And, if you find it boring -- like I do -- get yourself a Sony walkman and slap in a Disney CD. I walk every morning to the tune of the Tiki Room, Pirates of the Caribbean, Country Bears, and Splash Mountain. If you close your eyes, it's almost like you're there.

Well - we got it up the stairs (and we did it that night so no we aren't still trying to get it up there - although I was beginning to wonder when we started trying). Our stairs have a landing at the bottom and a tight turn. After yelling at dh about how we needed to do this (because he wouldn't listen of course! ) We got it part way up and there I was, standing at the bottom as we were trying to figure out how to get it up the rest of the way without taking the wall out. That sucker is heavy!!!!!

But we got it and no, I didn't get on it - I was too pissed at it! And then we were gone this weekend so tomorrow night will be my first opportunity to use it!

And you are right Kath - I do have room to even put probably two more treadmills in my bedroom so I do have room for WATPs. Just gotta get them!!!! (we have a BIG bedroom - I think it's like 20 X 17 or something, it's over our garage and is the size of our garage with the bathroom and closet being the size of our family room - when I was getting married I was able to stand in the middle of the bedroom with my dress on and the train totally spread out)

Great news - I hope you enjoy!

Are you using it?

2 years ago got a "good" one - DH runner and uses when the weather is uncooperative, so wanted one that would allow him to do that. I do love it! I quit going to the gym and actually walk about 6 days a week. (6 miles this morning)

Jimmytammy and I are "millers" - do you walk in the morning? We both are early risers and "see each other often"- okay so we are a few miles apart but hey I have 20/20 (just need reading glasses)

So glad to have you join us! And, you got a steal
