the first 20 minutes on the eliptical trainer is a total bitch. it's so bad that i have to trick myself into continuing by telling myself that i can quit when i hit the half hour point. (strangely enough i fall for this ruse every time.) luckily, after 20 minutes my body and mind seem to resign themselves to the unpleasantness and i can reach 60 minutes (and burn off about 600 calories) quite easily. in fact i could probably keep going but that just seems exercise-obsessive and i don't like the idea of being that way. i hate hate hate it but i have to say it again: being fitter and in better shape makes such a big difference to my personality. i have more confidence in myself and this pours over into all aspects of my life. i become open to taking on new challenges at work, i accept social offers that i would normally have felt shy about taking, plus the bed gets a seriously increased amount of activity. talking of which (and i can't quite believe i'm talking of this here), the cg just came up to me out of the blue and said "...your body is totally hot". it's not but i love that he thinks it is. it's a total ego boost and when you get to my age you take your ego boosts whenever and wherever you can get them!
