15 Agonizing Minutes

Believe it or not, but I haven't exercised in over two years!!! My neighbors gave me a treadmill. It fits perfectly in Ryans's office, the only 'sound-proof' room in the house. Now I can run while the girls take their naps. I am sooooooo happy. Well, let me break down my first work-out for you.



Minute 1: crank the speed all the way up
Minute 2: glance at watch
Minute 4: turn down speed a few notches
Minute 5: break a sweat
Minute 7: turn down speed a notch
Minute 9: think about stopping
Minute 12: almost stopped, convinced myself to go 3 more minutes
Minute 13: glance at watch
Minute 13: glance at watch
Minute 14: glance at watch
Minute 15: start walking

So, I'd say I had a pretty good work-out. haha. I know it will get easier. My goal is to go for 30-45 minutes without stopping. I just needed something like this so I'd feel less guilty about my sugar addiction.

Ha ha, are you eating all the girls' Easter candy? I totally sympathize with you on the sugar addiction. At least we can admit we have a problem, right?

I haven't worked out since the girl in my ward who was doing free pilates at the church once a week stopped. Maybe I'll start riding my bike when it warms up outside... Maybe.

I'm not sure I could make it for 10 minutes. I'm impressed and jealous you have a treadmill too. It's either too cold or rainy outside!

I might feel sorry for you, if you looked like you actually needed to work out!
I'm not looking forward to my first workout after I have this baby. I get winded just going up the stairs right now.
I have to watch TV while I workout on a machine, and the show has to be a intense drama. Otherwise, the minutes feel like hours.

We are exactly the same, except your treadmill is at your house and mine was at the Orem Rec Center.
