I'm guessing it's bad when you want to puke!!!
I had a goal of burning 1000 calories tonight --- just wanted to see if I could do it in one work out. I figured I did 600 last night, so really, what's another 400 right!?
HA!
I just almost puked! And my pulse was up to 194 according to the machine. I don't think I'll be trying that again for a while.
It was a weight loss routine on the elliptical that had a max of 75 (I think they say 75mph?!) and a max incline of 6.
Holy crap! I just almost killed myself (literally). I think I seriously sweat out everything I ate today --- 700 calories, GONE!

Need I mention that I work out in the same room as the wood stove --- it's 77 in the ADJACENT room so not sure what it is in the workout room.

I figure if I almost puke, but don't, it's a good workout.
I don't trust heart rate monitors all that much. As for the elliptical, I am guessing it was 75 rotations per minute?
But yeah, not cool on the temperature. Drink some extra water.
I'm always pretty proud when I do a workout where I almost puke! Makes me feel like I pushed myself hard enough. i also sometimes schedule "1000 Calorie Workouts"- they are hard but great!
Glad you are sticking to it and doing such a great job.
You take my ovaries, I take your yarns.
A little, but I am okay with that.
Speaking of. I re-started journaling, as opposed to "roughly counting points in my head, but then drink too much to remember what they were", with WW today.
I have 10 points left, if I eat my exercise points...so I won't starve to death, at least.
And I'm cracking up -------like seriously DYING at the fact that I could possibly think I was going 75mph! What do I think I am --- a crotch rocket?!?! HILARIOUS!
Seriously -- if you don't laugh at that, you have no humor.
Co --- yea, 75 rotations per minute sounds more like it. I did TRIPLE the amount of rotations tonight then I did the first night I started this little adventure.
***fingers in ears**** la,la,la,la I can't hear you!!!
Eek -- I don't want to be reminded that this whole journey would go even FASTER if I would start journaling. I've just been ROUGHLY keeping track in my head.
Ok, ok. I'll start journaling too. Geez Court, you can be such a drill sargeant!
I am hardcore, what can I say?
No, but seriously, "you bite it, you write it," is the ONLY way for me to lose weight. I used to be a fat-girl because I'd eat a little handful of B's snack, or the rest of his nuggets, PLUS what I should have only been eating. I've been grabbing goldfish again lately, and alas, the scale is up a couple of pounds.
I am going for the plunge...all the way down to the lowest recommended weight for my height/age. It is NOT going to be easy, but I want it now!
You go girl! That is intense --- and going to be HARD --- but you can do it.
I hope that I get to that point someday --- I keep convincing myself that I would be happy with being under 200. But I know I won't be. I just tell myself to make it seem less daunting. But I WOULD be happy around 170. Although, ideally, I would LOVE to be 150. I just don't see that day ever happening. But who knows --- maybe if I keep going at the rate I'm going, it will happen.
Keep chipping away at it, and it'll come off.
I am a big fan of baby-steps!
crotch rocket.....dead.
seriously......that sounds like a nickname your DH should give you though! Or rather Rocket crotch????
