With a bad knee that likes to do tricks sometimes, I'm confined in my choice of exercise. Walking seems to be one that I can do without knocking my kneecap out, so I'm especially fond of my treadmill laptop table. I'm finding I'm really enjoying this invention and feel so much better about the amount of time I spend blogging and visiting and email catching-up because I do it all while walking my way to New York, NY right in the comfort of my own basement work-out room.
Last week I walked a total of 18.39 miles while interacting online. Now I'm only 478.81 miles from my destination. Sounds far still, I know, but it's not bad for only being at it for two weeks so far.
So, my problem isn't getting the exercise now, it's being disciplined about what I eat on this weight management journey. I'm trying really hard to drink six cups of water a day to ward off the appetite some, but still carbs find there way into my mouth and straight to my stomach when they definitely should not. I'm going to have to diligently start logging every morsel that goes into my mouth again, and pen it in before I actually eat it, to help it hit home.
How many of you are faithful loggers of your food and liquid intake? Do you think it would help if you started logging, if you haven't already?

It's Finished!!!
Here's my treadmill laptop table with the laptop all set up and ready to be used.
And here I am using it!
On my first trial run (oops, I mean walk), I walked at 2.5 miles/hour (mostly, did a warm-up and cool-down at 2.0) for 55 minutes and burned 232 calories. And the best part, I'm 2.05 miles virtually closer to reaching my dream editor's office in New York! How cool is that? Only 507.46 miles to go!
Care to join me in the challenge? Find a great hubby like mine to build you one of these, or if you're far more capable than I am, build one yourself, and join me in the fun! I'd love to have company!
Oh, and a big thank you to Seekerville for first introducing me to this on a guest post.
