Feelin' Groovy!

I'm really feeling "in the groove" this week.    I'm still "on program" this week and just can't say it enough how much better I'm feeling. 

Yesterday was such a great day for me.  I worked in the morning and got stuck here a little longer than I expected, but still decided to hit the gym.  When I got there, my usual routine got thrown off a bit.  I've been doing a workout on the cardio bike first and then hitting the elliptical/cross trainer.  But when I got there, I was surprised to find that there was not one bike open, but all the ellipticals/cross trainers were empty.    Big decision, do I wait for a cardio bike?  Do I flip my workout and do the cardio bike second?  Hmmm.  Usually, I do about a half hour on each.  What I decided was to get on the elliptical/cross trainer and set it for 45 minutes and see how much I could do. 

I set my iPod up to listen to podcasts from "Two Fit Chicks with a Microphone" and got moving.  I was so surprised to find that before I knew it, I was halfway through the 45 minutes!  Whoa!  I did the entire 45 minutes, plus a 5 minute cool down (I didn't really cool down), and then another 5 minutes after that! 

So first of all, thanks to "Two Fit Chicks" for your great podcasts.  I'm really enjoying them.  I'm working my way backwards and will be listening to every single one!  I have a lot of great music on the iPod but sometimes get tired of it.  This is a great change for me!

After the workout, I rushed home to shower, make dinner, and get ready for skating.  Had a great night at the rink as well.  I was able to wear my regular skates by putting (believe it or not) 2 inch memory foam into the front of each skate.  Worked like a charm, took all the pressure off the tendons, and no pain!  So I had another great workout last night.

It feels like it's all clicking.  I'm following the program, weighing and measuring, staying away from junk, drinking water, water, water, taking the vitamins, and lots of fresh fruits and veggies.  Yes, it does work!  Imagine that!

Two more days until my weigh-in and meeting.  I'm excited.   Think I might take a break from the workouts today since I really powered into it yesterday, and I'll the gym tomorrow morning hopefully.

Feeling great and groovy this morning, with my pink hippy "love" shirt on.   PEACE AND LOVE!
