Tuesday Roll Call

Good morning one and all. Yeap we are in for some weather here in most of IL. Looks like we are going to get dumped on. At least not as much as out east. My SIL lives in DE and they got almost 3' over the weekend. DE usually only gets 6-8" total in a year.

Late day for me at work 8-4 then I walk over to the hair salon for a trim. Sure happy I walk to work, hate to drive in this type of weather.

Welcome to all the newbies on the board.

Good Morning Christine and the Illinois Board.

I am heading for the Dr. this morning, before I go to work. At least that is the plan for now. I couldn't get in to see her yesterday, and my lower back is still hurting.

DH is home today, with a day off. He is happy.
 
Please be careful out there this morning. Take a bit extra time to get where you need to be.

Huggers,

Good Morning Illinois!!!

I'm going to SHOVEL (my exercise!!!) today to burn some calories. Then I'll take the rest of the day to run up and down the stairs and finish laundry.

I think my interview went well yesterday. Hopefully I'll hear some good news from my recruiter.

Lisa - Still sending ~~~~healing vibes~~~ your way!

HAVE A GREAT DAY ILLINOIS!!!

I hope you get the job, lady!

Hello everyone

I took a vacation day today.  I am just sick of dealing with the weather.  So I am cozy at home in my recliner.  It's true it does look pretty when you don't have to drive in it.

So I have decided to return my excersise contraption.  I am going to save my money till I can get what I want.  I was thinking a treadmill but now I think an elliptical might be a better bet.  What do you guys think?  Should I get a treadmill- good cardio and I will can start off slow or an elliptical- get good cardio and a great lower body workout.  But will the elliptical be to hard for me and I will get sick of it and quit???  I don't know I'm torn. 

Well if you are venturing out today, be careful.

I love the elliptical versus a treadmill. Nice to get in a more full workout in the same amount of time.

HOWEVER, there are two kinds at my gym and one of them hurt my lower back a lot and the other was great--even, easy strides and good resistance on the arms. I tried lots of settings and the first one hurt my back after a few minutes. Other people seemed to love it.

Make sure you test it before you buy. It could be one that hurts you in places you never imagined and then you'd never use it.

I like both pieces of equipment but you will need to measure and make sure that either one will fit in the area of your house or apt. where you want to keep it. They are both rather long and wide.

Spacewon't be a problem because I will taking over my daughter's old bedroom.  Although, her stuff is still in there she will be moving it out soon.

I have both and hands down love the elliptical.  I get really board fast w/ the treadmill.  What is the "contraption" you keep mentioning from target?
