Oh me aching hiney....

So, in my efforts to lose weight and get healthier and because it is now too cold to swim :( I've started going to my sister's house to work out at least two days per week. That sounds impressive but honestly yesterday was the first day. She has a room in her basement with a bunch of great work out equipment - a treadmill, elliptical machine, mini-trampoline, weights, etc. So, I started slow - did about a half hour on the treadmill and another half hour on the elliptical. I almost biffed it on the treadmill! I started it up but realized the speed was set on superslow so I reached up to adjust it and accidentally hit the "mode" button which suddenly made it change to "run" and I was off trying to catch up to the console so I could readjust it! It would have made a great America's Funniest Home video if someone had been there taping it. Which they weren't. Luckily. Or I would have had to kill them.

The treadmill was fine and the elliptical was surprisingly easy to do. Too easy. That half hour really kicked my ass. Literally. I have discovered butt muscles that probably have never been used in my lifetime. And today, they are not happy with the rude awakening I gave them yesterday. I never thought I'd say this but it hurts sitting here to type this! Yet, it feels good too. It's strange but even after that short work out I feel pretty damn good.

I won't mention the free weights. My arms aren't really speaking to me today. I think they're still pissed from all the lifting I did.
