    Thanks for the advice ladies. The trainer who put me through h@#$ the first time I went said not to get it up above 130. I did a heart rate calculator and according to my age it should be between 81 and 126. I did stay on the elliptical for 5 minutes today and on the treadmill for 5 minutes. Lisa ~ thanks for the advice on using the arm movements intermittently...I will try that.

    A lot of those formulas are just based on averages. Each of us is different.

    That 220-age one they used to use would put my max HR at 168 and then I'm supposedly not supposed to go over 80% of that which is 134.4.

    I get to 134 walking briskly and I'm regularly in the 140-150 range cycling relatively casually. Put me on a hill and I'm up to 180 ... which is well over my calculated max.

    If the only thing holding you back from doing 10 minutes on the elliptical is your HR ... and your Dr says it is OK!! ... I'd suggest just going for the 10 minutes and seeing how you feel.

    But make sure your Dr is OK with it first.

    @1948Peachy I was thinking the same thing about not using the arms, also you could slow down the speed to lower heart rate. I would guess that the added arm movements are increasing the heart rate.

    @JRsLateInLifeMom that restaurant has a nice spirit.there's an alternative place near me with a chalk board where you can pay forward.when buying a coffee you can decide if you want to buy a coffee or meal for a future person who needs one, and if someone comes later without means he or she can ask for a one of those pre-paid coffees or meals.

    I usually weigh myself daily but not these past few days. I've gone considerably over these past few days.

    this time it's more because I'm in a good mood than bad.

    This week I
    1) finished and sent off the 100 pages
    2) finished sending something to the new better lawyer (I had to comment the file so he could see where we were at)
    3) found out that we progressed in a major way on a union thing I've been working on for 3 years. I have not been working alone by any means but I was without a doubt the main person working on it.
    4) minor, I spoke to another senior thesis director and he said he'd give me his thoughts on my thesis plan and thesis question since my teacher is not helping me at all. he was sympathetic and surprised when I told him that my teacher was inviting most/all the other students under her to speak and publish, and said he would give pay attention to making sure things that he could work on were more public.
    5) another thesis director (in charge of bachelor's classes) said she'd give me a class to teach if something in my area came up, that the permanent or on-contract teachers couldn't teach.
    6) I knew my candidacy was refused for a broad qualification process but had no information as to why. the note said I don't have adequate teaching experience. (but would indicate that my research and other experience and qualifications are sufficient). I have masses of teaching experience, that is what I do and have done for 30 + years, but not specifically in the very specialised area, so, presumably they didn't consider the notion of transferable skills. (if I am skilled in an area, and I am skilled in teaching another area, it's quite conceivable I can be skilled in teaching in the other area). I'll get more detailed info I about 3 weeks, they say. what it means is that I either need to get a class or two in this area, and/OR be able to better explain my thoughts about my teaching project, both are surmountable goals.

    Doc says I have to lower my cholesterol :( so no more whole milk yogurt for me :'( I will take a break from yogurt for a while before I experiment with lower fat or even soy substitutes.
