ooops... missed a few days!!!

So, basically this weekend I did not get my gazelle. I know bad Tennille. However, last night when I got home from shooting pool andrew asked if i got on it and did my 30 minutes. I said no and he made me get on it and did not let me go to bed till it was done! I am so glad to have him take a interest in making me do this... its soooo much better. I feel more energized when I do the machine. I am thinking of doing 30 minutes this week. Although when I start to stress it feels good to do it so a few days this week I may do twice a day when I stress about exams.

the only complication I have run into is my knees are not used to the exercise so I am building up pockets of fluid that generally go away over night. I suppose that is something that will have to get better.

I gotta say this has to be the best thing I have done for myself. :)

Gazelle Day 1

My Gazelle arrived today!! Andrew and I picked it up and brought it home. He put it together for me. I got on the scale today... 246... I want to lose 100lbs. I am going to start to set short goals... like 10lbs and when I get it I will reward myself by buying a new shirt or something. I did my first work out while watching Grey's. The machine stats were :

  • time: 30 m 40 s
  • calories: 1160
  • distance: 1.64 miles
I honestly feel so accomplished because I did not quit I set my goal of 30 minutes and I did it. Trust me stopping crossed my mind when I got tired but I just kept pushing through. I actually cried happy tears when I made it to 30 minutes. I am on my way to being healthier. I have never felt happier.
