Feeling the differences

OK, I've been trying something out and I think I figured out what works for me.

I wanted to see how I would do if I just did an "every other day" workout.  The elliptical is a good workout so I wanted to see how I would do just doing that.....wow...what a difference.

OK, that stuff about how working out keeps your energy up and helps with depression and all that stuff.  I'm a believer now.  I worked out Tues. but not Wed.  I was tired all day, and sad.  I accomplished absolutely nothing!  Sat on the couch for a big part of the day.  Not good.  So that in itself is a motivator.

However, I only have an elliptical so I will alternate days with walking outdoors.  Even if I don't do a high intensity walking workout (like on a tredmill where you can adjust incline) I think I need to do it so that I will stay motivated.

This time the trainer talked a bit about how my body will be burning calories for the next few hours so to eat healthy and drink lots of water.  Good stuff.
