When I first decided it was time to lose 100 pounds<\/a>, I started with swimming<\/a>.\u00a0 The only exercise I did for probably the first 4 months was swimming. Then I started using the elliptical at the small gym<\/a> I went to. I proceeded to spend hours upon hours on that elliptical machine. I wasn’t a runner (yet) and I didn’t lift weights much. I was strictly working my butt off on that elliptical.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThen I became a RUNNER. I completely abandoned the elliptical machine and all cardio was running or swimming (because I’d never give that up). Yes, I became obsessed with running. And training. And running races.<\/p>\n

Last night at the gym all the treadmills were full. Instead of grumbling about not being able to run, I hopped onto a free elliptical machine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIt had been years since I worked out on one and it was nice! It felt comfortable, like “the old days.” I warmed up at Resistance 10 and did a very sweaty workout on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI had a great time and lost myself in the motion. It was also a good alternative to running because my hips were SORE. The Bosu Ball did me in and I didn’t think running would be a good thing yesterday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAfter my time on the elliptical I did some weight lifting. It was difficult. I was sore from Tuesday’s work (I think the push-ups are the culprit) so I cut it a bit short.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI felt good as I went home. I need to do OTHER activities in the gym once in awhile to break up my routine.<\/p>\n

Gym Stats:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time: 1:16<\/strong><\/p>\n

Calories Burned: 645<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWhen I got home, famished, I made Michael and I salads and steamed some cauliflower and broccoli.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMichael grilled up some steaks. My serving of steak was about 1.25 of a serving. I was so hungry! I devoured every bite.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI added some Goddess Dressing to my steamed veggies (150 calories). It’s my favorite dressing on veggies. A little bit goes a long way and the flavors are rich.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMichael realized that the Worcestershire Sauce we use (Lea and Perrins<\/a>) contains High Fructose Corn Syrup<\/a>! Oh no! I had no idea. I had no idea I even needed to CHECK that sort of item for HFCS. Does anyone know another brand that doesn’t contain HFCS?<\/p>\n
