My main problem with my treadmill was that being on it was boring. I stared into a wall trying to figure out how make it more enjoyable. Buy a small LDC TV and mount it on the wall (expensive little buggers), find a shelf and put my laptop on it and watch a movie (meh), or....find a beaten up bookcase from the basement and haul my 40 lb.

So I fell off the wagon, smoking wise. I made it an entire 1 week and 4 days until I drank more than my fair share of red wine and it all went downhill from there.
