Our treadmill has been out of commission for that last two weeks in need of a new walking belt. We a have a really nice treadmill, but it is getting old (almost 8 years). I really appreciate having it, because I can walk in any weather (unless there is a power outage), it's in the basement, so it's nice and cool in the summer, I can watch movies while I walk, and I don't have to leave the house. Since I couldn't take an indefinite hiatus from exercise, I had to go back to walking outside. The advantage of this is that I walk fast and longer outside (I have to hold on to the treadmill so I don't fall off and I never walk as fast with my arms stationary). The last week was OK for this, because I started going really early (6am) and it was still in the 50s then. However, we keep having August-like weather, so it was on the warm side and really muggy this morning. I am keeping it up, but wonder how long it will take before our new belt arrives! I miss my air-conditioned exercising that could be done later than 6:00!
In other news, I am back to losing to weight since I have been sticking to my WW plan more strictly than I was. I am now down 20.5 pounds since January. I had hoped to lose more by now, but that 'break' put things on hold for a while. I don't have anything else too exciting to report. I hope everyone is having a good & healthy summer!
