When the going gets tough, the tough get going. I need to make that my motto and not allow the stress of life to overwhelm me. I got off to a decent start today and after route I hit the gym hard and I do mean hard. I didn't want any excuse to not exercise for at least one full hour.
I spent 35 min on the treadmill going up and down steep hills and it was at a good fast pace for these chubby legs of mine. After that I went directly to the recumbent cross trainer and pushed it hard for an additional 35 minutes. I was sopping wet when I left there but I will admit to feeling much better than when I started.
I am scared to try the elliptical because of my knees... that and the fact most machines have a went limit of 250lbs. I need an industrial strength machine and I don't want to walk up and say " Hey will this thing hold me or will I break it" lol.
I have decided at least for now just to concentrate on cardio mainly from the treadmill and the cross trainer until I lose more weight and my body has strengthened. I can still do my exercise ball and stretches at home as well as my wii fit workouts.
My diet was also pretty good today and I didn't get all of my fluids in but almost. It sure was a beautiful day today... windy but beautiful! I will continue to work on being tougher of body, mind and spirit. I hope that someday what I am going through can help someone else do the same thing. Until later..
Here are yesterdays final numbers:

Actual for 3/29/2010: 3413 calories burned, 7,784 steps, 37 min moderate exercise and 08 min vigorous exercise
