My jeans are getting tight after all that indulgent holiday eating. When the weather got colder in the fall, I didn’t like to walk outside as much and there’s nowhere to put a treadmill in our cozy house. So, I purchased a stair climber on eBay for $20. I figured it was a small investment in case I didn’t like it. It has a pace monitor and timer, but I get bored and focus a lot on the minutes which makes time go very slowly. The machine is positioned facing the chest of drawers in our bedroom and there’s a cable outlet nearby, so I just picked up a small, inexpensive TV from a local eBay seller. My cliche new year’s resolution is to exercise more. Other resolutions: blog more, practice bezel-setting sea glass, and learn how to make glass beads (lampworking).
