So, I have been SOOOOO proud that I made it to 10 minutes on the machine of death! I told everyone standing within 5 feet of me . . . which makes today's discovery all that much more disappointing.
We had freezing rain today, so I wasn't prepared to walk the dogs. Not worth hurting myself, and Grace self-entertains well even when she hasn't had exercise. So I got on the elliptical. When I turned the little monitor on, I saw that it was holding on to my information from Monday. Which means that had I not noticed, I'd have gotten on and thought I'd done 15 minutes! On Monday, I really only did 5 minutes . . . which I guess is why it seemed so easy. Not so easy tonight - I re-set the counter, and worked as hard as I could. I make it to 6 minutes and 45 seconds.
A small setback, but I am not willing to give up just yet. Every time I consider it, I grab my tummy and think "goodbye flab, fare thee well!"

Oh No! How frustrating for you. I know you'll be back up to 10 minutes in no time :)
Lol, you're so funny. :-)
Suggestion: Make mp3 playlists that last about 10 mins. The music will help distract you from the pain, and you'll know when to stop (without looking at the clock once!).
I actually work out in front of the TV, so usually that distracts me. I go as long as I can before I can't breathe and my legs feel like jello.
I can totally sympathize with you Kelly. I don't think I have ever made it longer than about 15 mins on a "machine of death" without thinking I might have my legs fall off. Good luck and keep it up it will be well worth it! :)
