What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Well, I bought a treadmill. My sister has a treadmill under her standing desk, and she uses it a lot. I _love_ treadmills. Back when I went to the gym, it was most of what I did (sometimes I did weights too). So, a treadmill makes sense. A friend suggested that I could find one on Craigslist, but in fact, they were all either manual (with no motor), which aren't for me (because they require a lot of energy to power and are apparently hard on your joints), or they are more expensive than a new one (probably they are fancier than the one I bought, but I don't need a fancy one). I know that I should go out more, but it just isn't happening. Today, I would have walked, but I just couldn't get myself together to go out. If I could walk for even 15 minutes on days when I refuse to go outside, it would be so much better for my health. I would be surprised if I don't walk more than that. I could definitely convince myself to get up and walk every hour or two. At least, I did that when we were in quarantine. Plus, I would spend less time feeling guilty about not going outside. (On days like that when we were at my sister's place, I would just go for a walk around the outside of the house. It is harder to do that here.) We have a room that is partially unused, so it totally makes sense to stick the treadmill in there (in the sunshine). I also realized that I can do my Portuguese flash cards when I'm using it, which would be great, since I tend to not do that as much when I'm refusing to go outside. (And read, which I definitely know that I can do while walking, as I did it a lot as a teenager. I don't know if I could write or not. I had thought about putting it in front of my desk, but I think that's a bad idea. I need to be able to easily sit down and rest there.)

Speaking of Portuguese homework, I found a Portuguese story podcast. Supposedly, it has level appropriate stories. I am still A1 (beginner), so I'm not confident that I'll understand. However, I really need to work on more sources of Portuguese language info. I hope it is fun.

In another interesting bit of information, I'm once again getting moody about listening to new music. Or anything I'm not sure I like. I haven't had this happen in a while. I just stopped eating cheese (my mom is having cholesterol problems, and I know that I need to be careful about it, especially with my terrible sardine habit), and I wonder if I'm not getting quite enough calories. I was shivering in bed the other night, which is usually a sign. I'm going to try to eat more nuts. It is a little bit of a challenge, as I eat so much food already (but most of it is extremely low fat). It would be less of an issue if I was mentally stable, but I get depressed and moody very quickly if I'm eating too few calories. Slightly low is good, as that keeps my blood sugar down. More than slightly low is very bad. I wonder if I should try putting ground flax seed on/in my lentils. It isn't a terrible taste. I also used sesame seeds previously when I needed more fat. I definitely do much better if my fat source is built into my meal. I'll see how it works. Obviously, not as tasty as cheese, but they might go well with my lentils.
