Off to the gym I go, again. I decided to hop on the eliptical again and give it a second chance; that and my knees are killing me! I tried a different one that is very similar but I forget what it was called. I faired a little better. I did it for 7 minutes and 1/2 a mile! Next time I’m aiming for 10 minutes. Slowly but surely I’ll get there. Then I went on to my tried and true, the treadmill. I varied the running\walking speeds and I played with the incline. All in all I was on for 39 minutes and 2.47 miles. Not too bad. Now, as long as this weather holds out, I am hoping to make it there tomorrow!

Good job wonder woman. Any activity is better than none. I have lost 130 lbs and I still have a hard time getting out there for more activity. I started out with 12 minutes on a stationary bike and could do no more. Since then I have finished many marathons and even a 50 mile run.
Check out the story and see the before and after pics at.
Good post and best of luck to you

Thanks for stopping by I need all the encouragement and support I can get.

Actually, the time commitment was pretty intense. For this reason I gave up the really really long races so that I can spend more time with my wife. What good is a 50 miler under belt if your wife is unhappy.
thanks for the comment
