Back on the wagon...

"If you love to walk or run but are looking for a low-impact workout that is good on your joints and tendons, the elliptical trainer may be just the piece of exercise equipment you are looking for. Elliptical trainers provide a similar workout to walking or running, but with much less bounce and impact. " - quote from www.ellipticaltrainers.us/about.htm

We bought sukie and wudan's elliptical because they never use it and wanted to unload it and because I'm an old woman and it's one of the only things my poor hip can handle. The picture proves that the elliptical is good for even an old broke down woman like me.

We got it home Saturday night and i used it for the first time yesterday. I like it. I get a pretty good workout and it's really nice to just be doing something again. (To be honest that's the first time I've really worked our since the surgery and it went surprisingly well.) I'm just the tiniest bit sore today but my hip isn't any more sore than the rest of my body and that is fantastic! I did a half mile last night and this morning. It's nice to be back on the wagon again :)

Oh David and I also bought bikes. We are going to start saving the earth, money and our bodies tomorrow. We're going to ride to work instead of drive from now on. We're pretty excited about doing the healthy thing. We always walked to school/work before but now we live a little bit far for walking. So biking is the perfect solution!

Yay for being healthy again!!! (And not becoming a fatty fat fat, a serious concern after eating out for 2 weeks straight while state hopping for wedding, reception and honeymoon stuff.)
