I Can't Believe It

I actually had a decent calorie day today!  I came in at 1520 calories, AND....I tackled the elliptical at the gym this morning instead of getting on the treadmill.  I needed a change in the cardio department, and I've never lasted more than 10 miserable minutes on the elliptical.  But I decided I'm going to master that stupid thing.  Billie and I made it 25 minutes today!!  Oh the burn....whole different set of muscles being worked, and I'm still feeling it several hours later....awesome. 

I'm going to put up some pics of my decorations and also of the baby opening her Christmas gifts, and also some pics of her trying to help me open mine, lol.  She's so precious.  :)

  2. The elliptical is totally a killer. But I do like that it's no-impact for the knees, and you can go forward and backward, so sometimes it's fun to mix it up. Good job on doing it for longer today and for staying within your calories!

  3. I've only tried the elliptical once and had a hard time with it...great job lasting 25 minutes on it!!! I think it's good to switch up your workouts - keeps your muscles guessing.

    Pretty Christmas decorations - thanks for sharing the pictures (and of course your baby is so sweet!).

  5. You go girl!! Kick that machine in it's booty!! lol. I have had a very stressful day so far. I knew all weekend it was going to be one of those days and a phone call left me crying for 10 minutes. But it's going to be alright. I took a deep breath and got back up in the saddle. Today I'm going to work out hard on the bike and maybe do some WII boxing to work out my stress. Isn't it great to be in control when life sometimes tries to kick us down?!!
    Love pics of Scarlette!! And your home looks so festive!!

I, too, am going to work on more time on the eliptical. I have thrown out all the sweets, and am back on track. You go girl, we are going to do this! Love your fur baby, and all the great home decor pics, nice job. Hugs, Kathleen
