So today I really didn't feel like working out and i kept coming up with excuses why not to. It’s too hot I’m too tired the usual but I actually did it! I got on the Elliptical and burned 700 calories! I was only going to work out for like 10 minutes but instead I stayed on for like 45 to 50 minutes it was great!!!

    They always say just get on for 10 minutes because odds are you'll start feeling better by then and go longer. You've just proven that, good job!!! :drinker:

    Good job! I did that the other night with the new Rolling Stone Mag. I was so NOT feeling' it, and I got on the elliptical, started reading, and pretty soon, I looked down and went, "holy cow! 500 calories!!" It feels so good when you get it done, even though you weren't feelin' it when you started.

    Hug yourself! You did good.
