coolest treadmill ever

okay so seriously....i ran on the COOLEST treadmill ever today! i am usually an elliptical girl, but have been walking on the treadmill lately to cool down at the end of my workout. and my gym recently got brand new treadmills but i had no idea just how super awesome they were.... until today!

so anyways, im on the treadmill, and i have my towel laying over the monitor with the time and everything b.c the time goes so much slower when you are watching it tick away. and on the bottom of the screen there are these buttons, one if to insert your headset, one is something random, and one says ipod. the ipod one has a cord attached to it and the other end looks like the end piece you plug into your ipod to charge it. so i plug it in and viola! it has the green battery/charging symbol. the treadmill charges your ipod!!!! no more worrying about running on empty... a battery that is!

the only problem was that with it plugged into the treadmill with the charger piece i had my earset plugged into the ipod but no sound was coming out. i look at my ipod to try to select a song but the screen wont allow any selections. so i plug the earset into the treadmill instead of into the ipod... still no sound? wtf... i unplug everything and go back to the regular way, music works.

but it was still bothering me... how could a treadmill so high tech that it charges your ipod not be able to play the music... then it hit me.....

i plugged everything back into the treadmill, moved my towel off of the screen, and viola! media center on the treadmill with a touch screen that shows the same menu as my actual ipod.... OMG how frigging cool :)

i might be on the treadmill more often!!!

PS these are the new lifefitness treadmills... i highly recommend you request them at your gym!

8lbs down.... 42 more to go

3 more pounds down!!!! That’s right I got weighed in today & I’m still doing good. Now begins week 3…. Since the whole get skinny plan has been somewhat overwhelming I have decided to pick certain things to focus on each week. Eventually all of these healthy habits will become part of my normal life, but until then we must concentrate. This week I am going to drink more water! We are supposed to drink 6-8 glasses a day. I drink a lot of water anyways, but I think I top off around 5. So this week, as I follow the WW and work out, I am going to make sure that no matter what I will drink 8 glasses of water.

Other random things…..
*RIP Heath Ledger…. So young, so talented, so spooky that he is no longer with us.
*Will Ferrell is going to be on Broadway…. This fall… stay tuned!
* I am addicted to 3 songs at the moment… Elliot Yamin’s Wait for You, Fergie’s Clumsy, T-Paine’s Bartender… weird combo, I know…. Hey, it’s all about variety
*Seinfeld is still the best show ever. Thank goodness for late nite reruns!


Oh, really important…. Shout out to JCrew. She helped me on this HUGE project last nite (which is why I failed to blog) and it came out fabulously! Really, I owe her my life!

Not so good news: Mr.HG got into a car accident today. He is okay, just some bumps and bruises. His jeep though, MAJOR bumps and bruises,. Please keep him in your prayers.

Southern Bell comes tomorrow so I must get some sleep. The girls have my social calendar full for the weekend, so I need sleep…. Now….
