My objective in creating and updating this blog is to chronicle my journey of building a treadmill desk, walking while working at my computer and the resulting weight loss.

Finding the treadmill

So step one find a treadmill.

First research treadmills to find one I can put serious miles on. Recommend anyone looking for either a treadmill or elipitical to check out Treadmill Doctor

So my options are in order of preference :

1) borrow my sisters. the issue on this idea is that she lives 3.5 hours away and I don't have a vehicle big enough to get it to my house. SO my option is to rent a uhaul and drive it back

2) buy a new one from Costco. This is the expensive option but worth it to know I have one that i don't have to work about... ouch $700 for a really good one

3) search Craigslist.org . I still have the transport issue and its used but I can find a $200-$300 option

The journey begins

So my journey begins.

First thank you for finding your way to my little spot of the web.

Second, I want to give credit to the blogger that inspired my blog and let you know I will be borrowing some of the blogs concepts I found there. Namely the walk across the country. The distance of the daily walks added up to equal a cross country journey and the daily decisions of your food and exercise choices leading to significant weight loss shows that one step and one good choice builds to make something significant.
