My company gives me slightly better benefits if I exercise for twenty minutes a day, three times a week. I’ve probably mentioned this here before. I have no problem with twice a week, but that third day is always a problem.
My building has a gym. It doesn’t have a TV so I have to bring my own entertainment. I was using the treadmill late on Friday night. Except it seemed to have gotten temperamental. After ten minutes it just stopped. No power or anything. I’ve seen this before. I was going too fast and I think a fuse went. If I wait a few moments and press this small button next to the power outlet it should start up again. I’ll just go slower now.
Except it kept happening!
Near the end I could only get 45 seconds each time before it blorped out. Although with some adjustments I could maybe get a minute and a half. By this time I was in the weird obsessive mode. As god as my witness, I would do the thirty minutes I had planned. One minute at a time.
It wasn’t fun.
I found the Costco coupon book in today’s mailbox. In it, they are advertising/selling/couponing a treadmill. If I was truly impulsive I would have to get it. But I don’t have the room in my place. And if I think about it for a full five seconds I can quickly realize it would be silly.
I’ll just have to try and be healthy in other ways. (Or complain to the building management.)
I’m continuing my not-eating-at-McDonalds trend. I thought it would get harder when in the aforementioned mailbox there were also McDonald coupons. Fortunately when I looked at the picture of the burger on the glossy sheet, I felt a bit ill. I’ll start worrying when I start craving instead.
They do make good fries.
