For my birthday, I got a treadmill. At the Christmas sales, we found a DVD player for $25, a 14 inch TV for $69, and a rack to hold them all on the wall for $79. Jeff installed them on the wall in the basement that’s right next to the treadmill. We have a billion DVDs; we get 3 netflix at a time, and have two Tivos and two DVD recorders, so we have a billion DVDs.

I wanted to start the year the way I mean to go on, so I jumped on the treadmill, put the “Thank you for Smoking” DVD in, and walked. I watched the extras with commentary, and the Charlie Rose show, and about 5 minutes of Scrubs in the time it took me to walk 1.5 miles. A bit wheezy and sniffy, some of which I can blame on the holdover cold, and some on not doing any exercise since my last deep water walking session on the 21st of December.

37.16 minutes, 1.5 miles, 192 calories.
