New toy

In an ongoing effort, my friends are trying to help me get back in shape. Today Annelise & Jeff brought me this elliptical.

If we spent the big bucks on it ourselves, it would end up a clothing rack. Unfortunately, I'll have to find another place to dry pillowcases and such. Since this was a gift of sorts, hopefully it will guilt me into actually using the thing.

Anyhow, I went for 5 minutes with no resistance (the manual suggests this as the beginner's warm-up before actually going into the most basic workout). Let me just say that it seems highly unlikely I'll be scaling K2 anytime (ever) or the basement stairs (for now). Who knew that my thighs were made of jell-o? Guess it should have been apparent by the nonstop jiggling.

It's off to the nutritionist on Tuesday. It will be 'interesting' (read as horrifying) to figure out all the things that need to change. At this point, taking up smoking might actually make me healthier!
