I had choir concert last night and today, and my feet were killing me from all of the standing. I'm talking HOURS of standing with no chance to sit down. But, from all accounts the concert was a success, so I can't complain too very much! All of that standing really made me not want to go to the gym, but Sara and Josh came today and I had promised that we'd gym it up after the concert.
Because my feet were hurting, I decided to do the stationary bike instead of the elliptical after my standard two laps. I tried doing the "standard" bike, but it really hurt my butt! Those seats are incredibly uncomfortable. I switched to the recumbent bike and it was much nicer on the tailbone and hips. I did it for about 25 minutes, and stopped when Sara and Josh got off of their ellipticals. We did three laps, then headed downstairs to the weight room.
I used a few of the upper body machines, and Sara showed me "donkey kicks", which I didn't care for because of the exposure and awkward position. I don't like people looking at my body while I'm working out, but the kicks themselves weren't so bad.
This is a short entry, but I don't have much to say. My only other comment is that I'm officially down two pounds, FINALLY, so I did not meet my goal of five pounds by the 20th. Two is better than none, however, so I'm trying to stay positive about it. A friend on Facebook suggested that I take measurements instead of just weighing in, and that's a good idea that I'll have to try once I pick up a flexible measuring tape.
Revised goals:
Current weight: 268 lbs
Immediate goal: 260 lbs by November 20th
Moderate goal: 245 lbs by Christmas (This might be a stretch at this rate, but I'm still aiming for it)
Long term goal: 170 lbs
