Good news and bad news and good news.
First, the good...I went to meet my old elliptical last night.
I set the machine for 45 minutes but only did 35, then walked
around the track for 10 minutes. It was difficult! Man, I used to fly
through 60 minutes. Deb, I used to do the elliptical and get in
10,000 rotations in an hour! It was hard, but I will get there
again! Would a rotation be similar to a step? Anyway, I did manage to
get to 5000 rotations last night in the 35 minutes. I think 10,000
steps a day is a really great daily goal! Boy, was I huffin' and puffin'
But as I did it, I remembered the "high" I'd get from using the elliptical.
I'd be at 35....45....50...minutes...and challenge myself to go further.
What I like about it is that it's a great workout in one hour.
Oh, Rose:
My brother works 3rd shift so I'll call him later. He's probably asleep
now. I do know that he recommends lunges with dumbells. You
have to keep your belly firm and control your breath as you lunge,
and it works the tummy as well as the legs!
OK, so the bad news is that I weight a LOT more than I thought, more
than I've ever weighed in my life! I'm 209 but it's that time of the month
too so maybe that will take a couple off!
Anyway, the other good news is that I've made my long
term goal to lose 59lbs by my birthday in December. Is that bad?
That's about 6-7 pounds a month. I WILL celebrate my b-day feeling
and looking even better than I do now!!!! Ha!
OK, talk to you all later!
