Went to the gym today, and usually if I use the elliptical machine, I pick a manual program, sometimes a random one. Well today I chose 'weight loss' and now I know what that does. I had a really good workout, as the machine automatically went from mild resistance and incline, to high resistance and incline. Then it went back to mild to give you a break. I don't play with the buttons very much, but I need to explore more. I'll be choosing that again, much better than manual.
On the bicycle machine, I've been using random hill or mountain pass. Tomorrow when I go there, I'll see if there's a weight loss option on that, and try it. I did a little on the weight machines too before I left. I don't spend more than an hour there really, and I'm just starting to go more often.
I pigged out on the Halloween candy, and I don't even like that stuff. Of course we've been having other goodies around the house like pies, ice cream, eggnog, heavy cream, etc. I don't want to cut out all the things we like, but I'm trying to limit my portions. Something that says 6 servings, is easily eaten by the two of us.
I'm far from a fitness freak, but I just want to try to keep things a little bit under control to avoid type 2 diabetes in my old age, like my mother and my sister developed. Don't want to go up any more in clothes sizes either. My husband doesn't put on the weight like I do.
Since I have the ten dollar a month membership at Ballys, I figure I better start using it.
How about you? Anybody doing some extra exercise to lose some lbs.?
