So I just got back from the gym. I know I'm writing here almost constantly but it's probably better than if I say I'll write daily and forget or stop caring.
I did 50 minutes on the elliptical (35 then pushed for another 15 after a bathroom break, haha) and 50 "double crunches". There were minutes when I wanted to stop (my tummy tends to get upset after about 20 mins of elliptical, but I can power through it and it gets better), but between reading Fitness and Self magazines and listening to the radio I kept going. I feel a little "meh" because I don't feel sore from yesterday's strength training and honestly I'm not that into what my trainer gave me to do...it feels either too hard or too easy, is boring and doesn't feel productive. Lame!!
I need to bring those 8lb weights out of my car where they have seen no use since my DC vacation and use them at home, so I'm not reliant on getting to the gym to get exercise.
Tomorrow I have class 11:30-9:30 with breaks from 1 to 2:30 and from 5:30 to 7:30. During one of these times it would be great if I could get to the gym. I could also go in the morning but since that's less than 12 hours from now I really don't know...any ideas?? I could also break out that yoga DVD I only used once!! maybe I'll do that in the morning. it's actually a rather strenous workout.
Time to shower and relax before bed!
EDITED TO ADD: 9 cups of water, flavored water and seltzer today! I didn't count the coffee/diet pepsi...I feel like I didn't drink enough though. Need to up that water in the beginning of the day!!

Way to rock that elliptical! I never liked it...for some strange reason, my feet would fall asleep. Seriously! Like I was pinching a nerve somewhere and slowly my feet and then my calves would start to go numb.
Try hitting the gym either before of after class. Either get it out of the way or give yourself something to look forward to!
Best of luck!

Sometimes my feet fall asleep on the elliptical too. It helps when I start pushing from a different part of the foot, like the heel.

mine too!! I don't remember it happening when I was in high school (155-175 lbs) but lately it's been happening (220-230 lbs). I don't know if it's because of my weight or my shoes or just some weird circulation thing! Hmm..well in any case I'm going to power through it.
I like it because it's low-impact, and I hate the out-of-breath, stomach-in-stitches feeling of running...also because at least at the level I can manage, it burns the most calories per minute!
