Move a Little, Lose a Lot

From the Minnesota Public Radio Splendid Table website:
"Lynne recently visited Dr. James Levine at his office at The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Dr. Levine is an authority on preventing and treating the global obesity epidemic, and the Director of the N.E.A.T. Center as Mayo, which translates as "Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis." This, in turn, translates as the small day-to-day movements we've stopped doing over the past century."

Thanks Dr. Levine for being a disruptive innovator by inventing the first treadmill desk! Please listen to the podcast I have linked below!

Day Two

By the end of Friday I walked another 1.51 miles. I also finally figured out how to embed a Google Map to have some fun with tracking how far I've walked. I think I should have had a ten year old help me with that; it probably would have taken a third the time.

With two days on the treadmill and a weekend break I think I'm ready to step it up a notch.

I also plan to be adding the logistics of my set up very soon.
