From this ( ) ... to this )(

I bought a skinny machine! Ok...I bought a tread mill. I got it a t a gargae sale for 75.00. They were asking 100.00, but I offered 75 and they took it!  The only catch was that it was missing the magnetic safety key to run the thing. They told me that it was either free or less than 10.00 for a new one and that they would get it for me. When we went back to pick the treadmill up after Jake go thome...the couple had a different story. Now the first guy she talked to at 2nd wind was new and had no idea what he was talking about. The key isnt available at the store...but I could order it from the distribution center and pay 30 bucks for it, or go pick it up for 20 bucks.

We checked online and didnt find any prices better than that.. Untill Jake looked at the empty plastic thing that the key is supposed to fit into and realized that it was the same size as the magnetic tot locks we already have around the house. Jake went out and plugged the treadmill in, and put the tot lock on the magnet and guess what?? It worked! haha-- so just a tip for anyone if you ever lose the magnet to your tread mill... go to babies-r-us and get a magnetic tot lok key for 7.00 and you can have it the same day too. No waiting or paying for shipping!

So now I can run or walk anyimte I want to. I always get a little freaked out when I go out to do anything like that after dark. Not because I am afraid of people running out of the shadows to get me, but it's their dogs I worry about!! I LOVE dogs...dont get me wrong. But everyone in our neighbor hood has Kujo dogs (or yellow labs...the dont scare me) But the rest have huge St.Bernards or German Shepards or some type of dog that has a jaw bigger than my head. So I was always looking behind me at night. And I didnt want to go during the day because I didnt want people to see me trying to run or walking fast or anything. I am not in shape so I would be too embarrassed for that! So yay...hopefully, the next time you see me, I will look about 10 - 15 lbs lighter :)
