Why wait until Jan 1? There's a good chance I won't be feeling the best that day, and I can assure you I won't be in the mood to hop on this thing and sweat it out (now you know my excuse for January 1st!)
Got on the elliptical - what do you know? It's right where I left it. It has collected some dust (and a dead bug), but appears to be in working order. Now, I haven't worked out in roughly 2 years so I took it light today - started with 20 minutes on a random program with "hills" on level 3. The machine defaulted to level 8, but that seemed a bit lofty for the first day, so I pressed that down arrow without guilt. Turned on some workout music and got to work.
LESSONS FOR DAY ONE:
1. Coffee is not the best pre-workout drink.
2. The lovely pellet stove puts off a lot of heat, and is located pretty near to my elliptical - sweat is good, right? (Note to self: get the floor-standing fan for next workout.)
Made it through the entire 20 minutes (it was more of a struggle than I expected.) Upon initial completion, was already talking myself out of a workout tomorrow. But now that I've cooled down, I think I can do this again tomorrow.
