20 - Week Fitness Challenge: Week 3, Day 13

The Boy Bops have wrestling matches starting at 2 today so I will miss my Sunday spinning class. So I'm going to the gym in a few and do the elliptical and stationary bike instead...I'll try to do the stuff I remember from class. This is cutting into my writing time, but I got up an hour early today and wrote to make up for some of it.

Mercury Man got me this heart rate/calorie monitor thing for my birthday! at first I was like What! um I really wanted some cute workout outfits, LOL. But then I tried it on and was amazed, and decided to keep it. It's a belt thingy you wrap around your breast bone, that's the actual monitor. Then it transmits the info to the watch! I like it because now I can know just how many calories I am burning during any activity and my heart rate, both resting and active. It keeps track of other stuff too.

Yesterday at the gym I burned 1372 calories!! I did the elliptical for 45 minutes, treadmill for 30 minutes at 5 mph, and the sit-down leg cycler, I forget what's called, for 30 minutes. Oh my, I was through. I took a nap for about an hour when we got home, but felt fine for all my birthday festivities. I'm going to take it down a notch and just try to burn at least 700 calories a day in exercise/active labor.
