What a great week I have had. Eating really great foods this week. Lots of very yummy fresh fruits and vegetables. Lots of good stuff. That's normal these days. ; ) Now the good part. I have been working so hard to break this blasted plateau I have hit. In my effort to that I decided to really step up my activity level. I had worked my way from 10 minute walks to 40 minute walks. During which time I added working on the elliptical beginning at 5 minutes and finally reaching 40 minutes. Well I blew it all away this week. I used my morning walks for wake up and warm up. My husband I and got out and walked the dog every morning for 30 minutes. Just a nice warm up to my day. After my breakfast I got on my elliptical every day for 40 minutes without missing and again in the evening for 20 minutes. I played around with it all week. Took it kind of easy on Monday just to be sure I could do the 40 minutes. I really wanted to go the distance. Once I did that, I pushed myself for some intensity going hard, backing off, back and forth. So today is Friday, my last day to work hard this week. Here I will take a bow. I just got off my elliptical.....drum roll..... SEVENTY MINUTES!!!!!!! I am so empowered by that. I am celebrating!! Did I break that stinking plateau? LOL I don't even care!! I am so amazed by myself that I could actually stay on the elliptical for that length of time that I really do NOT care what that scale says. I will think about that another time. All I know now is that I am a fat burning machine! WOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! If I were a runner I would start training for my first 5K. Guess I can figure out what that would be on my elliptical. hmmmmmmmmmm
