This is my new friend....


and I am in love!  My hubby bought me a treadmill on January 1st, 2011 and I am so thankful.  I have had a gym membership forever and I NEVER go.  I wish I could go, I do like the gym when I continually go but I am not interested in taking my kids to a teeny, tiny daycare area where they don't know anyone and I don't know anyone.  It makes me uncomfortable, let alone my kids. 

I am training for a 10K run on July 9th, 2011 for the Underwear Affair and I am super excited but I am not willing to go outside and run in the freezing cold, nor will I put my children in the stroller and push 75 lbs. around in order to get in shape.  I started doing that and only ended up with an extremely sore upper body and neck  I was in more pain than ever and it wasn't in the places that I wanted to be sore.  Hubby doesn't get home from work until 6:45 pm which is 15 minutes away from baby boy's bedtime and really close to the time we start putting our little girl to bed.  It has just never worked, so we made the big purchase. It's a good thing we don't spend any money on each other for Christmas.  We were going to buy a couple of bikes but that purchase has been delayed.  I feel blessed to have a husband who supports my goal to get in shape and understands where I am coming from when it comes to getting to the gym.

P.S.  If you are interested in helping reach my goal of raising $500 in order to run the 10 kilometers, please click the link above and head to my personal page!  Thank you!
