So this morning the first thing I did (after feeding the kids of course) was put on my exercise clothes and headed down to the basement to the "exercise room" that Andy created for me. The room consists of a treadmill (thanks to Andy's parents) and my bike set up on a bike trainer (also thanks to Andy's parents). The treadmill is a few years old and it is starting to show. If you are on it for more than five minutes, the belt starts to go off to the side and eventually makes a horrible rubbing noise. But despite all of that I still was determined to get some sort of exercise today. I got on the treadmill and sure enough 5 min and 38 sec later, we had rubbing action. So I got off and got right on bike bike. I have never ridden a bike on a bike trainer before, but I do not think it was set up correctly. Pushing with the left leg I could get resistance, but as my right leg would come around, it was free falling, and so was I as I almost fell off the bike.
The whole thing makes me want to cry. I have called the two local gyms, one is right up the street which would be great, except for the fact that it is $109 a month, and the other is about $275 for the year, but is not as close, and with Andy's schedule, I just do not see it being worth the money.
I think I am going to take everyone's advice and hit the library for an exercise movie, it doesn't hurt to try. Especially when I am feeling like everything else I try is not working. Oh, on a side note, this is all coming after Andy bought me a treadmill for our anniversary that I had to return for it's excessive squeakiness coming apart. I am at fat loss here folks.
I am off to the library....
