Ok. I just did my first i-Fit workout on the elliptical. As I said before, the voice pushing you is Jillian from the Biggest Loser. What I didn't know is that her voice is like finger nails on a chalk board when she's hollering at you. I always thought that those people on the show were cry babies with the whole, I have to stop, stop hollering at me, I'm going to throw up, boo hoo. Well, those exact thoughts ran through my head a whole four minutes into my thirty minute trip to hell.
I seriously couldn't breathe. My heart did its best to leap out of my chest and run away screaming. I really almost threw up (who does that??). It was the hardest thing I've done since child birth. Well, that isn't saying much since the doctor had to wake me up to tell me to push with Cole - but anyway. You get the idea. HARD.
This is going to pay off. I know it. In just 30 minutes I burned 360 calories. That's more than I've ever burned on any treadmill in my life. And I can just hear my tiny sister, Laurie, saying that when she did the elliptical she used to burn something insane like 700 calories. I don't want to hear it. She's a twig with the highest metabolism of anyone on earth. She burns calories making coffee. I, however, gain weight sniffing a french fry.
This is going to work. I'm excited. I do it again on Wednesday. Hopefully I won't throw up.
