I discovered today that I can go alot longer on the cardio machines without losing my heart rate if I watch something on the little tv attached to each machine (each machine has it’s own tv!  you just plug your earphones into the remote!).  So I’m plugging away on the precor, and I start looking around to see what other people are watching.  The women flanking me are both watching Opra.  There’s a guy watching CNN.

I…am watching Star Trek Voyager.

geek on, yo.

get physical!

10 minutes on precor, 6 machine circuit with 12 reps per, and 1.15 miles fast walk on the track.  BOOYAH!

thursdays for luck

workout round-up - just in case you don’t follow me via twitter (and WHY NOT? plenty of complete strangers do, I’m creeped to find out), today I did 10 minutes on a cardio machine (some weird foot walker arm back and forth thing), 11 reps each on the 6 weight machines on my “circuit,” and the finished up with a 1.15ish mile walk around the indoor track.

accidentally poking my eyes out

woohoo! Cardio workout today! We worked the cardio machines - Kev did the treadmill and I did both the reclining bike and the…ummm…kind of a step machine thingy.

Then…we…went out for mexican food. But not crap food! Good mexican! And we both got unsweetened tea! So yay us! Baby steps.

Ummm…anyone out there know of a good industrial strength sports bra that comes in plus sizes? I have one…but there’s just a little too much jelly in my jiggle. Especially on those bouncier machines.

getting fit and fab

you people and your crazy ideas. Take a picture of the centrifuge??? In the lady’s locker room??? Oh yeah, whipping out a camera in there won’t get me kicked out.
