Boring Day

I didn't do the shred today - don't do it on weekends. I walked on my treadmill instead. Boring, boring, boring. I was watching a Lifetime movie while doing it, but still it is boring. I am adding it into my daily routine, though. The reason is that Amy (my workout buddy) and I am aching to get outside once this weather breaks and walking is what we will do. We want to work up to jogging or running (not so sure I will because of the knee issues).

So, I am adding in treadmill time when I watch tv in the evening. I did 1/2 hour tonight. Tomorrow I may try for 45 minutes. I want to work up to 2 hours on it by the end of March. If boredom doesn't kill me first I think I can do that.

It is not hard really. I am not panting or whatever. It just is soooo boring.
Plus I have a cheapy treadmill. It is not one of those fancy motorized ones. No, it is a completely body powered one. That means it is set at an incline all the time so I can - through walking- keep the thing moving. It is a little difficult to maintain good posture and I have to hold on or I slip down the dang thing -lol. Did I mention it is boring?

One thing that ticked me off was I have this dang step counter thingy mcbob - a pedometer (the name escaped me for a minute-lol). It was clearly not working. I was wondering why it was taking so long just to get to a half a mile. I watched it and it wasn't recording my steps. Maybe every tenth step it might go up one. I was mad, so I resorted to just timing myself. I was going to walk a mile, but since I have to way to calculate I said screw it.

It could be worse. I will live. Besides before I take this body outside to workout again it must look better than it does now.
