I thought I'd mix up my daily treadmill stroll-jog-stroll with some quality time on an elliptical machine. Oh. My. Freaking. God. My thigh muscles haven't felt so quivery in a very long time. And that was after only five minutes on the machine. I simply couldn't go any further. Hubbyfink tells me I'm badass for jogging on the treadmill for 25 minutes after that.
I simply had to have my full thirty-minute workout.
In related news, I started Nutrisystem a week and a half ago. I thought it'd be a brainless program where I'd be "enjoying" lots of microwave meals. Actually, I put a lot of thought and prep work into the fresh veggie, fruit, dairy, and protein servings I get with my meals and snacks. Most of the entrees have been good and I've noted in my diary which ones rocked my socks. There have only been two losers thus far: the ham & bean soup (ugh, just ugh) and a white chocolate chunk cookie which tasted rather "industrial". So far, so good.
