I've been thinking about it for quite some time.
A few years ago I had a membership.
I always felt better after I went.
I loved the elliptical.
So, here I am Sunday afternoon:
Since I'm in shape - round is a shape -
I decided to start with the treadmill.
You know, ease into things.
Hey, you know what - this is great!
I'm loving this!
You know what - I can handle the elliptical.
No problem, right?
WRONG:
Oh my God.
It was so hard.
So freakin' hard!
I thought my head was going to explode
right off my body and go shooting across the room.
I made it to 7 minutes then I
went back to the treadmill.
I was all sweaty, my curls were all frizzy,
and I was trying to recover from a near heart attack.
At the 30 minute mark I said, "Ok, that's enough."
I go into the locker room to find THIS in the mirror:
A big frizzy haired tomato!
I looked horrible.
I could NOT walk out of there like that.
They would call an ambulance for sure.
I was so embarrassed.
I put on my sunglasses and scarf and
walked out.
......but you know what......?
I went back again yesterday.
Aren't you proud of me?

And yes, I am proud, I need to be doing the same!
I'm am just laughing out loud seeing those dang drawings. They are so funny! I just love those visual aids.
I want to see your tomato red face and frizzy hair!
Keep going girl, I'm proud of you.
Love this! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog -- because that means I found yours. I expect to be a regular visitor here.
I am totally loving your little illustrations! Hilarious!
Once I decided to go to a spinning class, thinking it wouldn't be too difficult. I have exercise induced asthma, and since I do fine on the exercise bikes, I thought it would be similar. So wrong. I nearly died right in the class, and had to leave to go get my inhaler. Embarrassing.
I always feel weird saying I am proud of another adult but... I'm proud of you! I like the elliptical but my settings are always on really low...!

I almost fell off the elliptical machine the first time I tried it. And just because of that, my boyfriend thinks I'm uncoordinated, imagine!!!!
You.. are AMAZING!!!!!! super funny my friend...
would you shoot me.. ( or at least draw a picture) if I told you that I do 30 minutes on the eliptical.. in my basement at 7am at 30 degrees almost every morning??? LOL LOL
The drawings! OMG! The drawings! And I'm also newly returned to the gym but I'm far from ready to jump on the big E. At least a month of consistent visits before we're ready to move on there!
