I decided to go against the grain this year and NOT overeat on Mardi Gras.
I had some oatmeal & bananas, lentil soup, a Lean Pocket and some plain chicken yesterday.
Exciting, huh?
I also wanted to do a “half marathon on the elliptical” last night. I walked about a 3-mile loop in the morning and figured I’d include that mileage and put in 10.1 miles on the elliptical.
I got to the clubhouse, put on American Idol and went to work. I did two 55-minute sessions ~ 5.1 miles & 600 calories each! 1 hour and 50 minutes on the elliptical at a 10 resistance!
13.1 miles yesterday.
Next week I plan to do two 6.6 mile sessions for my true elliptical half marathon.
You know what….it wasn’t so bad.
Sometimes I wonder why it took me so long to spring into action and take advantage of our amazing workout room, but what matters is what I’m doing NOW…
and what I’m doing NOW feels pretty darn good!
Amy – I am highly impressed!! Keep up the good work! It will be worth it when you complete your marathon.
Wow! Great job, Amy!!! two hours on any kind of equipment is AMAZING!!! congratulations!!
Wow! It does feel good! You’re right, Amy! Doing it NOW is what counts. And…you’ve been doing nothing before this????….I don’t think so! Look at the amazing marathon you have been doing with Elliott and Holden!
Amy – that is amazing. Great job! You set a goal and stuck to it – way to go!!
