Rollerblading hurts my feet. I can onlymake it maybe 2 miles or so before pooping out.

I am so scared of rollerblading, but good for you areellady. Mixing up different kinds of exercise will really keep your muscles guessing!!!

Oh yea...1hr on elliptical today.

roller blading used to hurt my feet to until I got a GOOD pair of skates. They make all the difference in the world. I gues maybe it is the same with everything, a little better quality goes a long ways. Mine were around a hundred dollars. We started out with cheapies, and hated every minute of it!! I can't wait to get these puppies shined up with new wheels and going on down the path!!!

I went to a Body Pump class this morning...at 5:45am. We were done at 7:00am. It was great and I hung in there. I feel so good even now. I'm so proud of myself. I guess I'm just trying to get in the mindset about what will be changing in my life. And exercise will be a huge part of my life once I'm cleared by the doc. I want exercise to be a regular part of my life like brushing my teeth.

I must admit though, I was the biggest person in the class and thought I looked like a beached whale when we were laying on the floor. I tried not to look at myself in the mirror. I felt like others were looking at me. They probably weren't, but you know how we get...

I just had to share, though, b/c I am really proud of what I did. And I just tried to drink a soda, and it didn't even taste right!!! WOOOHOOOO! Sodas have always been my big downfall. Well, I guess my body does know that s'thing is up and things are about to change drastically.
