My little brother has decided that for Halloween he wants to be a ninja. Not a big deal, but he also spends way to much time on you tube and has found a video that he wants to copy. In this video the ninja roams around and scares people and all that stuff. So my brother has decided he needs to get into better shape so he can do that. Again not a big deal, still kinda weird, but nothing new for him.

Today he asked me if he could use my treadmill as he needs to exercise more in order to do this, or at least he thinks he does. I told him it was okay only to find out a few minutes ago that he moved it to his bedroom so that he could watch tv, the problem is he doesn’t want me in his room to use it myself, something he didn’t think of. I don’t understand why he thinks I don’t use MY treadmill. On the other hand maybe he has a point.

I have to say I have been very happy with myself this week, I have gotten out and walked, I’ve lost 5lbs and I feel better, I knew I had to do something. I’m really happy my brother got a new dog, our other dog just can’t walk that far anymore, now I can go at least a mile a day and not worry about anything but making sure the dog has water, the new one will also drink from the ground if I have to put water there, our other dog won’t. She’s spoiled.

What I think has motivated me the most was last weeks episode of the Biggest Loser, they showed what your lungs look like when your overweight and my first thought was, this is what is causing my heart burn and making it so I can’t sing like I use to. I have a great voice and though I don’t sing professionally I still value it very much. This has helped me to get out there and move, that and walking the dog is much better then getting on the treadmill, I’m just worried about when the snow comes, sometimes they don’t plow us out for a while, I guess I’ll just have to go out and play in the snow with the dogs.

For just over a year I had been looking at MP3 players and I have to say I am very happy with the one I bought. I can get radio stations, do voice recordings and more.

The downside is that I bought the mp3 player hoping that it would help me to lose weight. I was getting bored walking on a treadmill staring at the wall. Unfortunately it has not helped much and I still don’t want to get on the treadmill. I think it’s more that I don’t think I have the time it takes to really make a difference as I have to walk more then run. I’m not in shape enough to run. It takes longer to walk a half mile then run one. I can jog a little but even then I have to keep stopping.

Maybe one I get my laptop and can watch a movie or something it will be better. Who knows!

For the last week I have been having some strange pains in my chest. I also have not been feeling well and I have now figured out why. At least I think so. I need to lose weight, not with diet pills or some miracle cure, but with exercise. I had to go take pictures yesterday of houses for my class. I walked at least a mile and I felt great. The pain in my chest went away and so did some of my other issues. I went to the store to shop today, so I got some more walking in and tomorrow I’m going to take more pictures.

I had been lazy when it came to my exercise the last few months, but now I’m being reminded that I need to get out there and move. The treadmill sucks as I get bored with it. I think it’s because I have to stare at a wall. Once I move it’s going where I can see the TV at least. That way I can keep up my walking all winter.

It looks like I should be getting my Mp3 player tomorrow. I ordered it from Wal-mart.com just 2 days ago and ups says it should be here tomorrow. I’m excited because usually they drop stuff off in the morning and I should have it before I get on that treadmill.

Yes I am that bored on that thing. We do have a TV in the room, but it’s hard to hear and it’s on the other side of the basement, oh and my little brother turned the treadmill so it’s facing the opposite way so would have to walk backwards to watch it. Not something I want to do yet. I did see it on the biggest loser the other day so maybe once I lose more weight I’ll try it. Right now it’s hard for me to run 4mph for 30 seconds so I don’t think I’m in shape enough to walk backwards.

I know, I’m really really late when it comes to getting one of these, but I just don’t see spending 150 on an MP3 player. Luckily I think I have finally found a cheep one I like at Wal-mart.com it’s the XOVision 4GB mp3 player. I was going to get the 2gb but this one has a few other uses that could come in handy. Like the voice recorder for when I’m tired in class and don’t want to listen to the teacher!

I’m still debating about buying it, $50 is still a lot to spend right now since I owe so much to other things, but I’m trying to lose weight for health reasons and walking on that treadmill, facing a wall with nothing to look at or listen to sucks. I want to keep this up and right now it’s still too cold to go outside and walk. That and I spent $200 on this treadmill 4 years ago and I want to actually use it!

So I will be spending the day thinking about it and deciding what I want to do. If you have that MP3 player let me know what you think, the reviews were all very helpful and all of them liked the product. Oh and if I do get it I will write a review on it!
