back to the gym

Today it was back to the gym.

When comes to why exercising is a really bad idea I can come with the best excuses and reasons. After watching the Biggest Looser (which pissed me off. why do i watch that?) and seeing the guy pass out that was it. I can't go to boot camp because I'll pass out. OMG I don't have health insurance if I have a heart attack I'll loose my house. ZURPLE STOP! I finally convinced that I was being ridiculous. A month and half earlier I was swimming a mile in 45-55 minutes.

I'm not starting at ground zero this time. Last year I started exercising in a cemetery for several reasons but the #1 reason- I thought if I pass out I'd have time to die before someone found me. Besides I was already in the cemetery they could just roll me over into a hole. I do have to laugh at myself because I do take to ridiculous very quickly.

I decided that I was going to the gym and I was going to use the elliptical machine. I had to prove to myself that I can exercise in public, I'm not going to die, or knock myself out with my puppies. It was fabulous. I went 30 minutes for 2.15 miles. I didn't use the one with the arms and legs this was just legs. I intended on the arms and legs but I saw a TV on this one and the fan was on me. I watched Sesame Street and exercised. I couldn't find anything on besides it but it kept me going today the letter was g and number was 20. tee hee.

I had fun. I didn't die, knock myself out, and no one even talked to me how fabulous is that. I did get a puppy tamer today. So i can't use that excuse anymore.

I will make it to boot camp someday Terry but for now I can work on building my gym confidence and feel good about what am doing.

I have completed my workouts for this week.
Sunday- 3 10 minute workouts - 30 minutes
Tuesday - bounced on my ball for 60 minutes
Wednesday- Elliptical for 30 minutes
I'm going tomorrow because it felt good and I can do this.

<3 to you all
