Excerise Wow Moment~Sorry it got a little long!

Okay, so it has taken me about 11 months to realize that exercise is so important. Oh and I have always hated exercise. I would have my good moments where I worked out and then get lazy again. Because, lets face exercising is not very exciting. Well in the last 3 weeks I have really tried to focus hard on exercising. Last week I worked out 4xs and this week I have managed to work out 6x's. I rested on Friday only because I had a jam packed day. My work outs have been the biggest loser DVD and the Treadmill at the gym.

I have always been scared of the Elliptical machine. Because before I had surgery I was only able to last about 1 minute on the Elliptical machine. Then I tried it after I lost about 40lbs still only lasted a few minutes so I just gave up. Well, not today I hopped on thinking I would not last very long. Well to my shock I lasted the whole 30 minutes I set it up for and the 5 mins of cool down. I felt like I could do more but thought I should not over do it on the first go around. After the Elliptical I lifted some weights and then did the treadmill for 35 mintues at different inclines. Burned a little over 800 calories today.

Through this whole day at the gym I'm very proud that I tried the Elliptical and lasted 35 mins. I was shocked and almost in tears at the Gym. Thanks for letting me share my WOW moment today.

That is FANTASTIC! It's the best feeling in the world seeing yourself get stronger & stronger each day. Also very empowering. Congrats!

It is a great feeling. Thanks for your post.

The eliptical is my favorite of the machines....so easy on the joints!! Congrats. I'm glad ur lovin it ...whoo hoo!!
