Whoa.

First treadmill workout was a wake-up call. I used to think treadmill running was easier than road running...I guess I was in shape back then!

Here are the sad stats:

2.183 mi
28:06
12:52 pace (I think; I calculated it myself)
It also counts calories, but I forgot to input my weight. Next time.

Granted, I used a 1.0 incline to simulate "real road"....but still. I am a perspiring, worn-out girl after only 28 minutes and 2 measly miles? Jinkies.

It's also so loud that I can't hear the DVD player...but they make earphones for that. I watched part of a West Wing episode and it was pretty hard to follow without being able to hear very well (except during my walk breaks).

I guess this will get me into shape!

I also signed up on fitday to keep track of what I eat. I really dislike keeping track of what I eat. BUT, I have been complaining for almost 2 years that I can't lose weight...and I've also been eating like it's going out of style. I have no concept of what an 1,800-calorie day would look like in terms of eating. So I figured I would try this for awhile and see what happens. It's almost 3 pm and I've eaten about 770 calories...and that's with being very mindful of what I had for lunch! My guess is that it will help.
