got up at frigging 8am actually.
was at the gym by 8:30.
did 5 minutes, 30 seconds on the elliptical... yesterday was 5 minutes. as i said i'd never been on one before and the jury's still out, but, i think it's leaning towards hating that torture device.
anyway, pushed myself to do 30 seconds more than yesterday. hell it's a start.
then i went over to the treadmill. my knees are still feeling a little tight - but after a while they felt better... whoodathunk? so i did 30 minutes on the treadmill --- 2.0 incline and got up to 3.6mph...
THEN i did some crunches... those are pleasant. actually did them with my feet supported by an exercise ball - that actually helped me a lot.
i also did a "bridge" on the exercise ball - which makes me looks like i am trying to have someone mate with me (yeah, i said mate, rather than have sex.)
did 2 sets/ 12 reps, of seated bicep curls (on, what else, the exercise ball.) with 5lb dumbbells.
2 sets/ 12 reps of - i dunno, i think they're called side raises, if not, they should be since i raised the 5lb weights up from my sides WHILE on the Bosu ball thing.
theeeeeeeeeeeen, i did 2 sets / 12 reps with 20lbs on the free row (i think that's what it's called. i wrote it down but the notebook is in my handbag and that's across the room... i am not getting off the couch at the moment.)
i do have to head to the food store in a little while - we're supposed to get snow still, i think, i don't know... i haven't checked the weather in a little while. and i'm too lazy to change the channel or click the weather.com site

YAY!!!! You did a heckuva lot and you survived to tell us about it woo hoo!!!! Are you taking the nike+ there with you? It doesn't work for me on the elliptical, but you should at least have something to show for those treadmill miles :)
[note from GC: yeah i took the nike+ with me, but it didn't work on the elliptical either and then it didn't work for me on the treadmill. i think the thing in the shoe shuts off after a awhile. not sure, but i wound up not using it today. think i am going to hook up my shoe pouch so it's easier access to the + thing]
