Yea!  :yahoo;  I'm going to send my 30-day notice to the gym and start walking at home!  I really like to use the treadmil, but I can never get the energy to to to the gym.  I always find something else to do (usually nothing).  It will be delivered on Saturday between noon and 2 p.m. and I can't wait to start walking while I watch my horrible daytime TV!  At the gym I'm forced to watch CNN and ESPN all the freakin' time.  CNN does NOT make the time fly for me.  When I go, which it not often, I only make it about 30 minutes before I'm bored and talk myself into leaving.  Now I'm hoping to walk for 1 hr each day.  Heck, I can even break the time into two 30 minutes sessions!   :clap;

I hope it doesn't become a new place to hang my clean laundry....  :-\

my tread mill makes the most convenient clothes hanger
 I can arrange the colors and have a lovely piece of art work
my exercise bike makes a wonderful place to store miscellaneous objects as they gather there
our swimming pool was an excellent place for my son when he "baptized" our pets ( years ago)

Good for you Kelly!

I think I will do the Pasta Diet along with the Sluff workout plan.

Sluff, I maybe short on time can I do 60 seconds 60 times a day? Do you have a DVD I can follow. It can collect dust with Billy Blanks and Tae-Bo. I don't want Billy to be lonely.

Well, it arrived this afternoon and as soon as I got home I put on my shorts and hopped on.    :yahoo;    My first walk was only 15 minutes and I went .70 mils and burned 59 cal..  After dinner I got on for my 2nd walk and that time I went 1.5 mils and that was 32 min. and 25 sec.  It's great being in my livingroom and watching what I want to watch.  Plus my doggies and my husband are there too!  My plan is to walk 3 miles a day, 5 days a week in two 32 min. sessions (a.m. and p.m.).   yippee!
