Random Beginning

I recently relocated and went from working in an office to working from home.  Instead of getting up to pick things up from the printer, walking across the office for water refills, or to the other side of the office to talk to a colleague, I was only getting up to make the occasional snack. Before I sat my way to a bigger size, I decided to make some changes.  I started taking a couple of breaks during the day to do things like water the plants and make the bed.  Nothing active enough to make a difference (though, getting those things done during working hours was great). 

I eventually found this website: http://thinkspace.com/super-cheap-diy-treadmill-desk/ and after dusting off the treadmill that had gone unused for months, I made my very own in about 10 minutes.

I LOVE it! It has become a workdaily part of my life.  I generally get on in the morning and have worked my way up to 5-6 miles a day.  If I have a conference call or work that is a bit more complex, I move my treadmill time to after lunch. 

I haven't been measuring success on the scale but have noticed my clothes once again fit comfortably and I have a heck of a lot more energy. 

PS- I am not the most coordinated person in the world (or the best typist) but I have had no problems with working and being on the machine at the same time.
