I like to think I have always had a knack for cardio. Even when I don’t train rigorously for it, I can generally keep up with the rest of my guys on a typical run.  When I recently started hitting the gym, I have been biking. Not my favorite task but I found it to be entertaining enough to do it for more than 20 mins… Now I have this history of what I call self diagnosed ADD… I get really board with the same stuff every day, so my challenge lies in keeping myself amused. After 3 rounds of biking in 5 days, I decided I should try something else. That’s when I decided to give the elliptical a go. So after I finished the bike, I set the elliptical time for 25 mins and I start “peddling” away. As soon as I thought I had the whole motion down and got side tracked with shiny objects, I lost my senses and somehow “forgot which foot goes next”. It’s then when I proceeded to get semi-tossed from the elliptical. With both hands struggling to find a solid grip for stability, I am attempting to figure out how to put my left foot BACK down and stand on the elliptical that was winding down from a full speed venture. To those around me it had to look as though I was attempting to do a line of hop scotch… I have never in my life felt SO inept.  

So needless to say, I am sticking to the bike and treadmill from here on out… Lesson learned. 

This Friday will conclude two weeks of my attempt to become a new me. I will do my weekly weigh in and next Friday, I will do body pics again and consider posting the beginning pics and the week 3 pics. Very nerve wracking, but I think it will do good in motivating me.~Kps I gave in and ate a cookie this week, no excuses, shame on me. pss I apologize for the lack of writing this week, crappy weather and sand storms around here weaken our internet connections.
