Treadmills from OuterSpace

Ok, so it's straight cardio day at the gym last night.  *My* treadmill, the one that sits right in front of TV number 4 isn't working.  We had a bit of a storm just before I went, so maybe the power knocked it out or maybe it's sick....don't know, don't care...I just want it BACK. 

So anyway, the lovely number 4 isn't working so I foolishly hop on number 2.  I swear to God the thing is from OuterSpace.  On number 4 I have no problem doing my job at 5.2, but on this baby I hit 4.8 and think I'm gonna die.  Why are they so different?  Why can't number 4 be working?  Why am I so pathetic?!?!?!?  

It's all frustrating because I was supposed to do my walk to jog program [4 mins walking | 3 minutes joggin for a total of 39 minutes and THEN do another 20 minutes of walking with a 2.5 incline], but halfway through I just couldn't do it anymore.  I spent the next 40 minutes playing around with the walking speed and adding inclines and stuff, but I was just so ticked off that I wasn't "On Program" that I had trouble even sticking out the 60 minutes at all. 

So, note to self....if number is out of service go the other way (not to the evil superfast treadmills) and select another normal one. 

I guess I'm just not loving the cardio at all these days.  Playing around with times and speeds makes it hard to get lost in a television show (which makes time go by faster) and...ah....I don't know really what it is.  Maybe I just miss walking outside.  No clue, but I have to get over the funk. 

The good news is that tonight is upperbody night.  Love, love, love doing upper body stuff.  Again, we're going to be upping the weights and only doing 7 reps, so it should be interesting.  Can't wait till I get to the point where you can actually see the difinition.  A lot of fat is goine, but still so far to go.  The 160's have NOT come back...morning, noon, or night so I'm guessing that they're gone for good.  That's just totally strange!  That and the fact that I now weigh the same, if not a pound or two less than my husband...which totally blows me away.  Never, EVER have I weighed less than him. 

And yet....I still have a good 20 pounds to go.  Can't lose sight of that even for a second.   

Hope you're all having a great day!

Under your husband, lol

Hey, at least you are at the gym!! Even if 4 doesn't work, 2 is from outer-space, etc etc. at least you made it to the gym. That is just one more day that is contributing to forming a great habit. yay!
Yesterday I went to the gym. And after 20 minutes on the tread mill my neck was hurting, and I've been having neck problems a lot this year. so I walked around the track for a while because I still had energy left in me.
And I'm so glad that I even did anything, don't be discouraged.
And your trainer is right about more weight less reps. That's the plan I'm on as well, I read about it in a UK Hospital publication. This is really going to work well for you. You're doing so well already!
Have a great day!
