Walking those pounds away

Ever since college, I've been slowly adding on the pounds working desk jobs. Well, I'm tired of it. So I traded a coworker for her unused treadmill and had Jeff build me a laptop stand for it.

For those of you who are interested in this sort of thing, here's a close up of the stand.

I had been considering doing this for a while, but couldn't find a treadmill to buy for a reasonable price. Mom did it to her treadmill right before I got mine.

I walked for 45 minutes today while I watched a DVD on my laptop. Not a bad start!

It looks good, Jess. Have you tried to type with it yet at that height? I'm having Lloyd make some modifications to my setup.

Good for you! We looked at treadmills, but didn't have a room to put it in and the one room that was a maybe had the floor on an angle (damn old houses)

This treadmill closes up and takes up about two by three feet when I'm not using it. And our floor slopes, too - we used shims to get it close to flat. :)

I'm quite pleased with it. I just hope that sticks!

I was watching Fantastic Four. I'd seem it when it came out, but really didn't remember much about it. I finished watching it today (and hour on the treadmill!) and now I know why. :)
