Guess what, I finally gave in bought a treadmill today. A very basic model with relatively standard functions. These exercise equipment are not cheap even for such a no-frills model. I’m paying for it in two installments.

It may cost a bomb but this is one purchase my wife didn’t object. In fact, she has always wanted a treadmill. Between taking care of our baby, house chores and work, we barely have time to jog at the park. And we have our increasing weight and my expanding waistline to prove it. Given the choice of diet pills and slimming down the old fashioned way, we’d prefer the latter.
