She doesn't hear a word I say...

Here I am, 1 day before my day of rest, and I am looking forward to it! Not that I actually think I am going to rest, especially since we already have a day planned at the gym, but at least I can say NO Tony video. Woo! 

Had a great workout day today.  Went to the gym and did the Tony Sculpt with free weights instead of the deadly resistance bands.  Definitely a lot easier to move around with weights than get tangled in the resistance bands!  Since we already knew the video by heart we just did the whole thing without Tony at the gym. After warming up my muscles and getting my heart rate up there I hopped on the glider.  M E was on the elliptical next to me but I just can't do that machine.  It kills my shins.  So, the glider it was!

I panted and grunted my way through 20 minutes on that sucker and found myself talking to myself since M E had her headphones on with the music so loud that she didn't hear a word I said.  The only time she turned to talk to me was when she yelled, "I am only doing this for 10 minutes, I can't do it, my foot is numb".  LOL!  So I tried to encourage her..."You are half-way there, only 5 more minutes, we can do it..."  Do you think she heard me?  Of course not! Not a word....but the rest of the gym probably did! 

That's okay I will call it self-motivation.  I was motivating myself!  :) I did have a hard time getting my heart rate down.  I get it all riled up and it doesn't want to slow back down.  I ended up doing a little more than 1.5 miles in 20 minutes.  I was BLAZING!

My calorie burn FINALLY shot up high and has stayed that way ever since the workout at 6ish.  In fact, even now at 11:27, I am still burning 2.3 calories which is still pretty high for "Queen of 1.8 calories" which is what my body thinks it should burn all the time.  I did get it up there over 7 per minute while on the glider.  Yea for me!  Stay tuned...
