Day 3: Elliptical myself to death
So I went to the recreation center today between work shifts to jump on the elliptical machines that are placed nicely in front of some big fans. WOOT! I stayed on for an hour. My legs are sore but I feel stronger. I forgot how much I love those wonderful machines. (Since I have knee and ankle problems it does wonders for me). Not super hungry today, yesterday was bad though. Around midnight I wanted to eat everything in the fridge. But today was a good day, I felt productive in my workout. Hopefully my fiance will start joining me and I finally kicked that little cold! I'm coming around the mountain!
