When I first started the elliptical, I could only do barely 2mins. I just did 10mins straight!! I know that doesn't seem like much, but just the fact that I did it and I'm on Day 18 of the 30DS. I'm so proud of myself!!

    way to go!!

    I can't do the elliptical... I get so dizzy from the motion... I find it much easier to just go climb a mountain ;)

    It might not seem like much to me, but who cares, its huge to you! Congrats, I know exactly how you feel. Its a minor victory in the scheme of things, but a victory none the less. I remember how pumped I was when I finally jogged 1 mile straight. You should be proud of yourself! Now go do 15 mins straight next time!!! I triple dog dare you... :)

    Great job! Keep it up. I remember when I first started doing the eliptical my thighs were so sore the next day I wanted to cry every time I went to stand up or sit down. Now I can stay on for over 60 minutes. It does feel good to see your time increasing every time you get on.
