It's like this...

Running on a treadmill pros and cons:

Pro: Makes you feel great

Con: Eat a bowl of ice cream first, makes you feel like crap

Yesterday proved that when you eat something unhealthy, your body doesn't function as well. My body had to work so much harder and after I was done, my head started to spin. So, my eyes have been opened. If you ever feel like eating a treat before you work out so you can "burn the fat" from it, I wouldn't recommend it.

But, on a brighter note, I did work out 3x last week, twice this week, and so far I've lost 2 lbs! I love my treadmill. :D Good luck this week ladies, we can do this!

ETA: I just did the home body fat test (thanks for the link Cami!) and I was at 29.5%.

That's fabulous!!!! Good job losing 2 lbs. I'm impressed. Do you find it to be harder, easier, or the same, running on a treadmill compared to outside? Keep up the good work!

I haven't run outside in a year and a half so I'm not sure which is harder. I would think running on the treadmill is easier because you have the belt propelling you forward as opposed to the road, where YOU have to propel you forward. I always run on an incline to make it harder, thinking it will be easier to run on flat ground for a race later lol.
