That Treadmill Really Works

[Dreamer]

Yes, my husband bought me a treadmill about 5 weeks ago. I use it 5 to 6 x a week.

Grabbed my new one-size smaller jeans I bought yesterday, went and took a shower this morning and dressed in the bathroom.

As I walked around the house, the jeans were barely staying up. My goodness, I thought, I'm going to need to wear a belt! I should have left the tags on these things, I need an even smaller size! I'm just melting away!
It turned out I had grabbed a pair of my old jeans, some dark ones, and they were just the same old size I've been wearing.

The treadmill is fun. I listen to worship music and I can go as fast or slow as I want, and even jog up hill if I want to. It has helped me alot, physically, mentally, and even spiritually. I have an active toddler that does not appreciate being put in a stroller to go for a walk.

Glad to hear that sister! GOD is awesome and has provided us various ways to keep healthy and in shape both physically and spiritually.

Walking / jogging / running is very healthy, assuming you abide by a reasonably healthy diet as well. Eating poorly will ruin everything no matter how much one exercises.

Yes. I have cut down on bread quite a bit. I also try to have at least 2 fruits and 2 vegetables every day, in place of the bread. And, to be honest, I have gone down to a size 10 from a size 12, although I need to lose more in the future.

I have to be careful, though, because burning all those calories running can make me awfully hungry. I drink lots of water, too, and try to make my snacks healthier.....and smaller.
