My Love and Hate relationship with my treadmill

There it sits....in my basement. I hide it there so it doesn't taunt me. It sure doesn't beckon me!

There is not one bone in my body or thought in my mind that says "Go get on that!"

I just do not want to. I am not athletic. I cannot even run to my mailbox without falling so why would I get on this contraption and risk possible injury?


Because, I love how I feel when I am done "working out". I love the energy level and the sense of accomplishment. And of course, being toned is a great bonus.

But it is so hard to be disciplined!!! I know anything worth anything takes hard work and perseverance.

So, I heading down to the "dungeon" to do what I hate, to feel how I love....strange, huh?

Maybe when I am done I will come back up stairs and have a "cookie" on my "You are special today plate"...smile and sigh.

  1. I always feel like I'm going to go flying off the back of treadmills. We have a 'gym' where I can do both leg and arm exercises, which I like better. I've been asking for a WII for two years now, and told everyone (my four adult kids and husband) that I want it for my birthday, along with one of the sporty games. If I'm going to bother exercising, I want to have fun doing it, LOL!
