So, I finally got on the elliptical and treadmill. Woot woot!
I did just under 18 minutes on the treadmill. It was 9pm on Thursday night so I figured I'd just take it easy but I wanted to do something to motivate myself. So I did 2.5 to 3.0 speed and started out right away with an incline of 2.5 then increased up to 5.5. I was doing it barefoot though and I don't know if I walk weird when barefoot or if it's the treadmill or what but my two middle toes on my right foot actually started to hurt and go tingly. Almost painfully numb really. So I stepped off and wiggled to stretch them for a little bit then got back on but it was too painful. So I just called it a night. Only worked off 80 calories but I knew I wouldn't do much anyway so I was ok with it. It wasn't about the calories anyway, more about the motivation as I mentioned.
This morning I finally did what I said I was going to do which is get up when HDiTty got home and we worked out together. I got on the elliptical and he did the treadmill. Did a full 35 minutes, 5 of them the cool down period. Burned approx 310 calories so that was nice. I kept changing the incline and resistance. Once I've gotten into exercising a bit more I'll use one of the programs instead of just doing it myself.
So yeah, finally did it. But it's Friday so who knows what will happen now. LOL I know myself, I'm going to have to force myself to do something over the weekend, even if it's just one of the days. Then Monday will be the real test. He doesn't work this weekend so we'll see if he stays up all night Sunday, enough to stay up to work out in the morning.
We shall see.
