Exercise – Elliptical, Bike, a touch of abs but they were sore from yesterday, so I did a little arm work with a piddly sadly felt kinda heavy 8 pound weight that was sitting on the floor.

Calories burned – 500+

Weight – 185.1

Movie – Yes Man – I would watch it at the gym, unsure I’d pay to rent it. Better than the Guthy Renker informercial.

Photos to chart my progress – You be glad I photo shopped these so you can tell my current round shape without totally craving some Pillsbury products.

It was a moral victory that I got those things buttoned . . . till I turned to the sideview, THAT shit humbled me right up.

Exercise – Elliptical, Bike, Ab work (no machines, just on the floor)

Calories burned – 500+

Weight – 183

Tech – I tried out the earbud headphones @jenbshaw recommended – The pads were nice, but they still forced themselves out of my ears – both the small and the medium size. I pulled off the padding and used them without and they worked super well. So a win in the end. I probably should have looked for something that said “child” that would fit my freakishly small ear canal.

Song – “Hot N Cold” by Katy Perry

The music thing is critical for me – there is this crisis point I hit between calories 250 and 400 where I hurt and want to quit and it sucks and I hate it. But. If I can push through that – somewhere around 400 I am suddenly having . . . fun . . . yeah, FUN. I feel like a badass, I run faster, the music that helped me through the hard part is now helping me fly. I um. Okay fine, I fucking smiled on the elliptical today when I hit 500. And then I went a little farther.

Exercise – I tried out the “Women’s Lounge” elliptical but couldn’t handle the Hoda and KLG action – so I moved to the Theatre where I could at least have HOPE of a movie. Didn’t happen. Sad panda.

Calories burned – 500+

Movie – See above. Sadly none. There WAS some opera singer who shrieked her soprano parts. Shudder.

Song – “Extraordinary” by Liz Phair – cuz I am mutha fuckin extraordinary for kicking my own ass like this.

Y’know who else is extraordinary? Jenbshaw – when I tweeted about my sucky earphones she hooked me up with a suggestion – one trip to big box store later and I think my ears will thank me tomorrow.

Exercise – elliptical oh dear deity and then cool down collapse on and hope my heart rate returns to normal on the recumbent bike

Calories burned – 500+

Movie – 2012 - Mostly I was grateful they came in and turned off the 4th hour of the Today Show turned into Infomercial. I had no clue what the movie was (took at least 15 minutes for them to flash the title) but when I saw sunspots, I texted Victoria and said, “I dunno what this is, but I bet ‘destroy the Earth’ will be a line in here at least once.” It was aight – I was way more excited about it when John Cusack hit the screen.

Song – Bust A Move ala Glee – “You know what to do, Fatso, hey, Bust A Move.”

Your reward for reading this? A hot photo of me.

What? You were expecting sultry hot? For that, you have to head to Room 704 for the Sultry June edition.

Exercise – elliptical and then cool down on the recumbent bike

Calories burned – 500+

Movie – We are Marshall - eye candy, football and rousing speeches? Perfect workout movie. I sat on the bike and spun for a while just to watch more of it. “We may be behind on the scoreboard at the end of the game . . . but we can not lose.” Word, Matthew, word.

Song – My Life Would Suck Without You – Kelly Clarkson – video is dumb as hell, but damn the song had me running my ass off.

And to you – my life would suck without you.
