I have to tell someone....Last week, DH took my gazelle (Yes that walking thing) out of the garage and put it upstairs in our bedroom and I have been pretty consistent about using it.

Last night I did 1 mile in 11 mins (11.11 to be exact) now if you've been on one of these things you know moving fast is no easy feat ( I kept my speed between 5.8 and 6.6) I was SO freaking happy with that...the best part...I WASN'T OUT OF BREATH when I was done!

This AM I got up at 6:30 (Yes Christy, you read that right...me up before 7...willingly!) and I did half a mile on the gazelle (I need to oil 1 of the hinges and was afraid to wake the kids up, so I cut it short). And I just finished mowing the front lawn...I feel great!!

I just had to share!

Good for you!
working out does give you more energy, even though it sounds like it wouldnt. Soon your body becomes addicted to the high you get after you work out. I know I am addicted, if I miss a couple of days I start itching to work out!

Good going I walked Evan to school for the last 2 days and it is great to get a little morning excercise. I wish I could get my but out of bed before everyone wakes up around here.

Is the Giselle the machine where its like your doing cross country sking? There is a machine like that at the Y but I have not tried it yet.

You go with your bad self! That is awsome, Shell!

I am having scary thoughts of Tony Little in his Dolphin shorts swinging that ponytail around! But seriously, great job. My MIL actually has one of those things and I think it is lots of fun. I always use it when I am at her house and my 6 year old loves it too. It is so much quieter than most exercise machines. I take it your tailbone is healing up!

Maggie that is so funny! Now I'm going to think of him and that annoying pontytail every time I start going faster on it!

My tailbone is pretty well healed, I got a cortisone shot a few weeks ago (almost as much pain as breaking it in the first place!) and have had very little pain ever since.

That is awesome!! I know I always feel better when I take the time to exercise. I really need to get back into a routine. sigh
