Right now I'm hiding under a pile of blankets and pillows, fighting off a pretty substantial chill. I had a hard work out at the gym tonight:
35 minutes on the stair stepper (110 flights climbed) 323.1 calories burned. 30 minutes of hard cycling (great cardio) 199 calories burned. Brisk walk (with hubby when I got home) for 0.8 miles and 49 calories burned. That's a total of 571.1 calories burned.
I kicked ass. Just saying.
The 35 minutes on the stairstepper did attempt to kick me back though. I've learned that I go good for the first 20 minutes on levels 5/6, but the last 15 minutes just become entirely laborious. Having something to focus on would be nice, since climbing stairs is exceedingly boring, but I have nothing to keep my eyes on. The televisions at the gym are close-captioned and I don't see well which means I can't read them. My music is awesome, but the tempo is much too fast for effective stair climbing. A television should I could watch would be awesome, but I don't have anything that streams video or whatever. I don't know what to do..just suck it up and bust it out, probably!

I started with my first day at the physical trainer today. His name is Nana and he is from Ghana. I hope we get an awesome working relationship together and he pushes me in all the ways I'm hoping to be pushed. I'm going to take a morning weight tomorrow, along with a set of PT starting measurements, so I can compare Pre-PT me to Post-PT me. I'm really excited to see how the rather large cash investment for PT will pay off. This whole physical trainer thing is so...awesome. I'm so blessed my husband and I were able to swing this. That with everything going on my husband realizes how important this is to me, for both now and my future. I am going to grab tight onto my dreams and realize the heck out of them
Only 52 pounds to go until goal.

Hurray and congratulations on making it so far!
ReplyDeleteI suggest getting an e-reader. You can get them fairly inexpensively and most come with books on them I think.Read the heck out of some classics while you stair climb your way to super hotness.
