The elliptical- I have worked up!!
I am SO HAPPY! I have worked myself up from 20-22 minutes at P1 to 30 minutes on P2!!!! I'm so happy! I had to work on it at like NINE last night as I'm not getting off work till 5:30 and had some running to do after that.
Working on that level was a LOT more fun! I just liked the different levels and timing at the new levels :) I got into a TV show and if it hadn't been so LATE as I hit 30 minutes- I would have just kept going! I could have easily. I was just ready for BED :) (then I didn't sleep worth a darn!) But I kept my HR up around 130 most the way through the work out :) It kinda bounced from 125-133.
Ended up going out to dinner and had a chicken wrap... NOT such a great choice but at that place- it was THAT- or a restaurant burger... OR a pizza. I chose the wrap as it's LOADED with vegies, made w/flour tortilla and very little sauce. All in all... it really WAS a good choice for me :)
Today I get a hair cut at 1:00, should go to a funeral at 2:00 but nahhh... will go over my list of "GOTTA DO's" and "HONEY DO's" that have to get done before our trip. TONS of those! Gotta make my dd a blouse to go with the CUTE Disney dresses I made for this trip :)
Anyhow! Just started out excited about my 10 minute gain on the elliptican but started rambling LOL
Oh WOW, Mama... it's so great to see your hard work paying off.. isn't it?? You sound so excited!! I bet your heart was just too happy to sleep!!! LOL
On a more practical note.. I find that exercising at night pumps me up too much to sleep.. but in the morning it gives me that burst of energy I need for the day.. .but I say "do it when ya can"!!!! :) Great Job!!!!
Did I just read that you think the new level was a lot more FUN? Yep, I just reread it and you did say FUN. You need to bottle some of that and send it down here to me!
I tend to think of working out as time spent on serving my prison sentence. An ends to a means. A necessary evil. I'm so jealous...you think it's fun!
Congratulations,
Mary
