Staying true to my word

I stayed true to my word and went over and checked out the exercise room in the clubhouse. It's only two tenths of a mile from the house but I took the car. It's slightly uphill and I wouldn't have been able to do the walk. That's why I need the darn treadmill. There is a nice treadmill in there. There's also an elliptical, a bike and weight machines. it's a nice workout room. There is a TV too so that's good. I won't get bored if there is TV to watch. I'll have to ask how that works and where the remote for it is. I can also listen to my iPod. I can download one hour Dave Ramsey podcasts and listen to those while I walk. I don't expect to do more than 15 minutes right now (if that!) so boredom shouldn't be an issue anyway. Sweating and being out of breath will be the issues. LOL So I have no excuse now to not start working out by walking. It's flat, safe and not far from home. I could even do it on days that Bayou is home. For now I might plan to go on the days that Bayou is at daycare (M, W, F). I could drop Bayou off at daycare and then go to use the treadmill BEFORE I come home. Getting it out of the way would be the best thing to do. I'll just have to see when it opens and if I can get in before then with the pool key.

I still haven't had my bottle of water (I'm working on it) or my 2 cups of tea. I'm going to heat some water now and have my tea since Maria is gone. I must keep my word to myself. If not, I won't be successful in losing weight.
