Oh, Dear
Ooook, oook, ook, oh.
My son gave us a exersize machine. I can't remember what it is called. It is BIG. It is expencive. It is sort'a a step machine. it is sort'a a Nortic Track. It keeps track of your heart rate, oxygen levels, how fast you are going, how many calories or carbs you have burned, how far you have gone, so forth and so on. If it can do all that why doesn't do the rest. LIKE MOVE FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!
When I asked how to use it my wonderful, helpful, son showed me, he is so sweet. When asked how long he says that on resistance #1 he can go for an hour before he works up a sweat. He is so very sweet.
So's I think this won't be so bad. Dennis climbs on this morning, my very own "Energize bunny", and goes and goes and goes. Okay I can do this. Yeah, Right! After 2 1/2 min the perspiration (Ladies don't sweat) is running down my back, well, we do keep the house around 80 degrees, maybe that is it. My legs feel like rubber, Well after all I am on the 60 side of 50something, maybe that's it. I am huffin' and puffin'. At three Minutes. I have to admit that I am majorly out of shape.
I have yet to be out manuvered by a machine, Ok the computer doesn't count. After all it has a brain (kind'a). I can run the food processor, the microwave, hey, even the dvd player hasn't out smarted me,I can program it....Really...I can....If I want to.....I just don't want to.
Okay so aren't you SUPPOSE to work up to an exercize program, you know, start s l o w and then get all sappy happy when you reach a goal. Ok! ok!! OK!!!!!! I have a goal. I WILL MAKE IT to 3 minutes and 5 seconds before the end of this week. May not be much of a goal. But it's mine, it's mine, all mine! And at this moment it really does seem like a major step. My longer Range goal is to stay on at least 10 min. At this time I have not set a time limit on that one but I will, I promise.
We are going on a cruise in Sept. I really would like to lose at least 15 lbs. before then. I hope diet and this Torture machine will let me do that. Otherwise I will have to go buy some new clothes in a much larger size than is hanging in my closet. Our shopping consists of one Walmart, One K-mart, 2 tux shops This also includes wedding dresses and one formal wear(dresses). Oh, we have a baby clothes shop too. And one western wear. If you want you can spend $400 for a vest. NOT! So seems to me it would be less spendy to get tortured.
Wish me luck. If I can quit smoking. I can do this!
Love'n hugs,
Elsie
