HAHA!  Yeah i think this exercise program was originally created as a torture procedure. LOL

And use the chair if you have to.  before you know it you'll be ripping those pullups un-assisted!

Congrats!   It's natural to be worried. But dont let that stop you from making a decision that will totally change your life for the better.  I would do it all over again, without hesitation. Dont let people scare you with horror stories. Listen to what people have to say here....people who have actually went thru it.

I hadn't considered selling it, but I could!  You'll have to come to Bham and try it out.  We just don't use it, and I know I probably won't (it was great when I was first starting out on my fitness journey--very good for my knees!).

Do not be afraid of P90X--yes, it isn't a "starter" workout, but like anything else, you can modify it and just do a few reps (that is what I did for months!!)  They demonstrate several options in the workout.

I started my daughter out on it and I've got her modifying some things....very doable!!

Let me know if you want to come for a visit!!

i LOVE the elliptical. i use to do 60 minutes on it at the gym back when i went (in 08) I can get on there turn up the music and go good for a while. i just HATE mine.

Are you selling yours? or have you already sold it? Im selling mine and may be interested in it if you havent already gotten rid of it.

I have p90x but im sooo chicken to even try it. ive never even put the dvd in

i have the wii fit which i like so im going to start swapping between it and the elliptical. The treadmill bores me. if i do anything other than walk i feel like im going to fall off of it. I'd like to start jogging/running. but i think id have to do it outdoors.

that sounds awesome. i'd love to hike. i probably should get in better shape first. ive never been hiking but it sounds like so much fun!

last night i did 10 minutes on my aunts elliptical.

Tonight i'll do 15 minutes on mine. Is it just me or do the bigger ellipticals glide better? i HATE my elliptical and i think its bc i was use to the ones at the gym. Jan (my aunt) bought one from a yard sale thats much nicer than mine and it glides much smoother and its so much easier to work out on. So, i've decided to sell mine and get a bigger one or a treadmill. Regardless im selling mine bc i hate it and never get on it. im determined to this month bc i have a goal for the 24th when i go the gyno dr to be a certain weight. I'll NEVER reach it without exercising.

I weighed this morning because im a sucker for every day weighin i wish i could only weigh once a week but i cant. Its amazing what just making better choices can do. I gained weight on vacation but im down 2 lbs in just 2-3days (i weigh on Sunday to see the damage from vacation) so im glad to know its coming off. I wont weigh again until Sunday hopefully.

Anywho todays foods:

D-baked chicken of some sort w a veggie.. Ive GOT to go to the grocery store.
