I exercised yesterday for the first time in longer than I'd like to admit! Since the weather has been so horrendous here (hot & sticky) AND I haven't been getting up very early, I broke down and walked on the treadmill yesterday afternoon. I only walked two miles and it was pretty slow (34 minutes), but at least I finally did something! I find treadmills SO boring that I try to avoid using them- even though we have one in our basement (my husband runs on it). We have a stack of boxes set up right in front of the treadmill, so I can set up the portable DVD player- I watched the first 35 minutes of Mystic Pizza as I walked yesterday (I have to watch non-serious movies as I'm walking and we don't have too many comedies!) I walk slower in the treadmill than I do outside, because I have to hold on (remember George Jetson walking Astro?). Now that I am not restricting myself to only exercise in the morning (which is what I had been doing), I am hoping to get back to at least four days a week. I'll keep you posted. And good luck to everyone else who is getting started with an exercise program!

Cheers to you for doing it! Don't worry about the pace. In not time, you will be back in gear.
I love the idea of having the DVD player on while working out on the treadmill.
Love the Astro reference. I would love to get my dog on the treadmill for the days I can't take him on his leash. Maybe I could have the DVD play videos of rabbits!
