15 minutes and 43.7%

That's how long I made it on the elliptical yesterday. Wooo weee!! I'm so proud of myself. The elliptical totally kicks my ass and I've been determined to work my way to an hour on it. At my weight, (which is down again this week, thank you very much) I can burn 700 calories in an hour. 700!! That's a lot of freaking calories. So, doing 15 minutes really made me happy.

What didn't make me so happy was my new scale. Fortunately, it showed the same weight as my old one. Unfortunately it also determines body fat percentage. And mine was at 43.7%. Youch. That's a serious amount of fat. That's 83.467 pounds of fat. I should be around 20%, or lower, or 38.2 pounds at my current weight. That says I've got about 45 pounds of fat to lose. Which is about right. Oh well, what did I think was in there, honestly? Gold nuggets waiting to be crapped out? Ha!

So, the journey continues. I wish I wasn't talking to myself out here, but for now I am. Hopefully someday I'll have a reader or two. Even better? I inspire one person.

I can't wait to make it 30 minutes on the elliptical!
