In case you’re curious, I’m still keeping up with using my new treadmill while blogging — a fact that’s surprised my husband. When he first rearranged our furniture to make room for the treadmill and then rigged it so I could type while walking (by slapping a board on top of my treadmill’s hand rails and clamping it down with inexpensive vise grips), he figured I’d tire of it in a day or two.
Silly man.
The sole reason why I haven’t been much for exercising in the past is the very same one that keeps many people from doing it: it takes time away from other things that are either more pressing or more fun.
In my case, both homeschooling and my work online keep me busy the majority of the day. When I’ve finished those there’s still dinner to cook, dishes to wash and a list of chores that have to be done. Making time for exercise has — until now — meant letting one of those other things slide and I’m far too much of a neat freak to let housekeeping go for long.
But combining two things so I can accomplish them both in the time it takes to do one? That appeals to the efficiency freak in me big time. Best yet, by blogging as I exercise I almost don’t notice that I’m exercising at all.
Hey, lookee there: I just crossed the 1-hour workout mark in the time it took to read email, browse news headlines, check on the shipment status of the Skinny Bitch cookbook I just ordered and type this here post.
Total calories burned in today’s workout (2 mph walk): 180
Total pounds lost since I began blogging from my treadmill: FOUR
Walk on.
