Well I got back to exercise this week. As I mentioned in my earlier post, last week was a bust. My weigh in reflected that by gaining 0.1lbs. One thing I did do last week was go to the YMCA. Been a member for a few months now, yet never went. I was enjoying my nature hikes and didn’t need to go. But with a busted hot water heater, I needed a hot shower. So my first trip to the Y was just to take a bath. [Don’t judge.]
I think the key was actually going and seeing how the traffic was and how busy the place was. I decided that since Alabama is now hitting the 90 degree mark with 10,000% humidity, now would be a good time to move my morning hike indoors, so I tried an elliptical for the first time. In the past I have used treadmills, and hated them. They don’t allow for the natural speed up and slow down real walking does. The elliptical, however does. It was weird at first getting used to the motion, but once I got used to it, it wasn’t that bad. Is it as fun as walking through the wet lands? No, but it didn’t totally suck either.
It was a bit more grueling than actually walking, however. By the time I was 3 miles in I was drenched in sweat and my body was screaming, “make it stop!” Which I did, because I was running behind on time anyway. The good thing was I could watch Designated Survivor on Hulu while working. I am like 3 weeks behind on that, 4 weeks behind on 24 and several months behind on Homeland. There are several other show I like that I didn’t even start watching this season. This will give me a chance to catch up on everything.
It is a little out of my way to go to the Y before work so that means getting up at 5AM rather than 5:30, but I think I can do it. (But sometimes I do miss the getting up at 7:15 I did when I was a lazy toad that did no exercise.)
So we will see how the Y goes over the Summer, but I do plan on going back to my swamp this fall!
