The elliptical experiment

Here we go. Several years ago, I purchased a beautiful, sleek and quiet elliptical. The goal? To work out at home, of course. Since I can't seem to get my lazy butt out of bed, and I hate packing all my belongings to a gym to get ready, and who really wants to work out after a full day of work, right?
This was/is the perfect solution! It's right there, downstairs. Easy access, not hidden. I can watch TV, look out the window, and I don't even have to dress up or brush my hair to use it! Only one problem... I have to actually get ON the damn thing for it to be effective.

I knew there was a glitch.

So here we go again. Every year, I tell myself I'm going to use it. It really only takes a few minutes a day, and all my previous points are valid. So let's give it another shot. This time, I'm going to track my use. I don't really know much about blogs, but if this actually sticks, maybe I'll make one. I will type each time I use my elliptical, and every time I don't, I will write down why I didn't (also known as the "excuse of the day.")

If anyone sees this and has a similar problem in their home - feel free to chime in and share your stories with me. Maybe we can get some use out of that top-of-the-line clothes hangar!
