Despite taking the weekend off of working out (it was a VERY busy weekend), I did go workout yesterday, even though I didn't really want to. :) Go me! I'm proud of myself with how well I'm keeping up on working out recently. I'm going to be working out tonight too, I'm not sure if I'll be going to the gym at work, though, because I have to take Jeff to pick up his truck sometime this evening/afternoon. Despite that, if I have to I can go use the elliptical at the gym at home like I did yesterday.
On that note, I did find that going to the gym at work, which has way more state-of-the-art equipment versus the gym at my apartment complex is a HUGE difference. I always thought one elliptical was basically the same as another. Apparently, that is NOT the case. The ones at the work fitness center run much more smoothly, the stride is more fluid and glides better. I presume this is because the machines are newer, more advanced technologically, and probably better maintained. They also have a lot more options other than just the resistance. I have also found that watching TV helps me not focus on how long I've been working out, and how much my legs hurt. Even if i'm not listening to the TV (cause I'm usually listening to my music), just staring at something OTHER than a blank wall seems to help.
I've thought about posting pictures of myself as progress pictures. I know it's a good idea as a way to track my progress without the constant update of my daily intake and workouts. I'm already tracking my workouts via fitocracy and cardiotrainer on my phone. But a picture is worth a thousand words or something like that and it will help to show actual progress to myself if anything. My problem is, I'm a fat girl. I hate cameras. I look at photos of myself and am immediately demotivated by how horrible I look in them... So... We'll see how it goes. Maybe I'll take a picture and hide it somewhere until there's some notable progress that I can see....
