I went down to the work out room here in the hotel--the one with the floor to ceiling windows that look out into the courtyard and the office area where EVERYONE passes by and can see you--and I worked out on the treadmill!!

I wasn't going to do it because I have a 'thing' about people watching me exercise but I decided heck on it! I wanted and needed exercise and so what if someone saw me!

I walked at 3.5 mph at a level 8 incline (whatever that equates to but I almost had to hold on!) for 45 minutes. Everyone was peeking in to see what was going on in there--it was almost funny.

My HRM wouldn't work though because of the wireless here at the hotel, so I had to estimate calories burned using machine and MFP--both said I burned over 800 calories :noway: Can that be even close? I cut 400 off that to be sure......


I was sweating soooo bad--then I noticed the AC unit :tongue: Turned that one and was ok after that.

Had the whole room to myself the entire time--so guess I'm not the only one who doesn't like the idea of everyone passing by seeing you work out.

Worse then the window though was another wall had floor to ceiling mirrors YIKES! One thing I hate worse than others watching me work out is watching myself work out!

Thankfully, the machines all faced perpendicular to the mirrors and windows, so as long as I kept looking straight ahead, I was ok.

Going back tomorrow morning to do it again. I love that treadmill!
