Really, you have got to be kidding me.....
Ok, ok, so I finally get back on my treadmill yesterday, since everyone in the house is well again, and I THINK the creepy crawlies have gone away. They last came out the Friday before Christmas, and it was supposed to be fixed. We have been working on the treadmill since October. Originally it just needed it's yearly maintenance. Then it was supposedly the motor and some other part, then they determine that it was never the motor, it was some sort of belt. So it's supposed to be 100%. Everything mechanical was supposed to have been replaced. So why does it stop when I get on it? (Let me tell you, that does not bode well when you are overweight. I am still wigging out to Craig, is it me? Is it me? and he keeps telling me, honey, it is not you. You are way under the weight limit, and why would it be you anyway? Your way lighter now then you were when we got it, and it's been working perfect for almost two years.) Ok, so it's not me. Is it the yahoo's at Sears? How can it go from perfect, to completely unusable? So, I call them, and yet again, I will have to leave work early to meet them, because I am in an outlining area, and they can't come to Molalla on Tuesday, which is my day off. I have used four days of vacation time on these buggers last year. Do they not understand? This is the fifth time they have come out. And you know what is going to happen? I do. They are going to diagnose the problem, and then I will have to wait two weeks for the part to come in, and then miss another afternoon of work so they can fix it. Jeesh. This weight loss thing stinks. If they can't fix it this time, I will have to get nasty and ask for a new treadmill. I don't have time to go to the gym, nor can I probably afford it since Craig would want to go also. I like the idea of the L.A. weight loss and all that jazz. But lets be honest, if you are going to make me show up every week to get weighed and discuss where I am at in my program. I will not go. It's got to be super convenient for me. Isn't there an online program I can do, where I don't have to weigh in every week? Who has time for that? I live in the boonies for cryin out loud. Oh well, I'm sure I will figure it out. It's these darn sugar withdrawls that are getting to me! Why can't chocolate be fat free?

Have you seen that new mini 24 hour gym in Canby right behind the KFC? I hear the way it works is you get a key card that opens the front door so you can get in and work out anytime. Seems kind of strange yet kind of handy.
Even if it was really cheap like $20 a month I wouldn't do it though because I hate running into fellow Canbodians. Kind of a neat concept though. I would probably look into it if they had on out Woodburn way.
I started weight watchers online right after Christmas. Because like you, I don't have time to go weigh in somewhere, and find a babysitter. It's been slow, but i've lost 5 pounds so far. About one a week. And I swear by my Taebo videos...they kick my butt.
(I think I would be demanding a new treadmill already, enough with the insanity!)
