*I did work out last week...but I never got to the computer to post the entry. NOW blogger has "scheduled posts" so I can write this tonight (1 May) and schedule it to post all on it's own for Monday a.m.. ::snort::

This week I continued using free passes from local gyms. This allowed me to save gas $, continue solid cardio workouts, and try out local gyms to see which one may work best for our needs. I HAVE lots of workout videos....I cannot do them daily as I begin to have trouble with my ankles and knees after a couple of weeks...and besides I sweat way more on the elliptical so I've convinced myself it's a better workout for me. ::snort:: I had hoped the Leslie Sansone were hard enough and yet gentle enough that I could do them at home....but after the 10 day challenge I was hurting for sure....actually by day 6. I have to face the fact that I have middle aged joints. ::snort::

This was a GREAT week - I surpassed the 240 minute goal and it was SPREAD OUT over "most days of the week". The scale still isn't budging...but I'm content. Surely, the cardio is lowering cholesterol numbers and building heart health!
