And, let's face it, before this year I had not set foot in a gym for at least 5 years so pretty much everything there is unfamiliar.<BR/><BR/>If Sophie likes the holding pen, you are in great shape!

Pisses me off. If you are making a workout playlist think about including "Turn to Stone" by ELO, or "Stand and Deliver" by Adam Ant. I have no shame when it comes to motivating music. Cheesy as those may be, I can get a lot cheesier.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and how about "Shut up and Drive" by Rihanna. There.

THe first step of many.<BR/><BR/>Believe me..the first time I did the ellipital (gosh I know I spelled that wrong!)machine I could barely make the pedal go down when it got to the hard parts. Now I think I could fold laundry while I work out. You really get use to it.<BR/><BR/>Don't compare yourself to others numbers. I did this once and was so pissed that the guy in front of me was burning like so many more calories than me, and I had been on there longer, and was going faster! It wasn't till later that I figured out that your weight that you type in calculates your calorie burn and that makes such a difference. Here this guy weighed like 50 lbs more than me, so he was burning the calories faster than I could have ever caught up. <BR/>What I do is watch my own numbers and race myself....like I have to burn 100 calories every 10 minutes, and I have to do 1000 steps every 10 minutes, so I am constantly watching my meters and racing myself.<BR/>Ummmm....okay. Maybe I have spent way too much time on the elliptical machine not having anyone to talk to....this sucks and now I'm embarassed. I'll stop now!<BR/><BR/>Anyways...Good JOB!
