I found a treadmill online that I'm going to talk to David about. I'd love to have a treadmill in the house so I didn't have to worry about going anywhere to exercise. I would definitely use it as a weight loss tool along with the WW plan. I think David will say yes to getting it but I want to talk to him about it first. It would be exciting to be able to walk for longer periods of time right here in my own house. With the clubhouse or a gym there is always the chance of someone wanting the treadmill when you are done and making you feel like you have to rush. I don't like that feeling. And I could jump on it whenever I wanted to. I wouldn't have to worry about a set time that I have to go. I think I would put it in our empty dining room. It would be within view of the laptop so I could watch a DVD or listen to online streaming of music or a Dave Ramsey show. Yes, this just might be the thing that works for me. Worst case scenario is it becomes a clothes hanger and dust magnet and we sell it. I don't think that will happen though. The couple of times I went to the YMCA I liked working out on the treadmill. I was able to do 45 minutes. I would only start out with 15 minutes and work my way up to 45 - 60 minutes. I'll ask David in the morning about getting it.
When I woke up at 12:30am to let Bayou out I felt that just waking up hunger I've been having. I ate a serving of chips. I wish that I hadn't but I wasn't awake enough to think straight. No more chips for us. If they aren't here I can't eat them. I just thought about having a mini bar but I don't need to use up my points on it and I don't really need to eat in the middle of the night.
I need to practice my distress tolerance. Just because I feel like I need to eat doesn't mean that I really do need to eat. It's okay to feel the distress about wanting to eat. I need to tolerate that feeling and not act out on it by eating. I need to do that for cravings and emotional eating. I have to learn to sit with the feelings and deal with them instead of eating them away. It's not easy buy I can do it.
I weighed myself a little while ago and I'm down 1 lb to 283.4. I hope that holds up for WI tonight. It would be nice if I lost or stayed the same.
I'm still planning on walking this morning on the treadmill in the clubhouse. I'm going to stop in there right after I drop off Bayou at daycare. Hopefully I can do 10-15 minutes on the treadmill. I know I can't do the elliptical (I'm too heavy) or the bike (that aggravates my knee) so I've got to try the treadmill. Plus it will tell me if buying one would be a good idea right now or if I should wait until my knee feels better. I'd like one now so I can walk at home.
I've made myself accountable to people on the WW online community about walking on the treadmill this morning. I told them I would check in after I did (or did not) use the treadmill. I don't want to look like an idiot and not do it so I'll be there in the morning. I won't allow myself to come home until after I have walked 10-15 minutes.
I better get to bed so I can get up and get Bayou to daycare early and get over to the clubhouse. Wish me motivation because I'm going to need it!
