First, I want to apologize to someone. This morning when I was at the Y, I had a woman come up to me and told me that she reads my blog. I am soooo sorry. I must have sweat too much and lost my manners. I didn’t even ask your name. I am sorry!~
I have been to the Y three times this week plus the two runs that I got in.
So, Tuesday when I was at the Y, I decided to snap a picture of the elliptical display. It is kind of blurry because if I stopped moving or I would lose some of the information. I mainly took this picture because I wanted to show how much I love my heart rate monitor. As you can see, the elliptical display shows that I only burnt 177 calories. Now, if I had gone 5.30 miles and only burnt 177 calories, I would be depressed and discouraged. I actually went 6.18 miles in 1 hour 2 minutes & 40 seconds for a total of 447 calories extracted from my body. LOL. It just goes to show how unreliable any machine is when it has limited information about the person using it.
My eating has actually been pretty good except for those stinkin potato chips on Tuesday night. That is surprising to me because it has been another crazy stressful week.
I know that I am comparing apples to oranges but I really prefer the elliptical so much more than running. I got in 17.18 miles in three trips to the Y just from Tuesday, Wednesday & today. The thought of the mini coming up is starting to freak me out.
I hope that everyone has a great weekend. Just the same old stuff going on around here. Off to unload the dishwasher………
