Marisela just reminded me that we have 20.5 days until Cabo. Thanks, Mari. :P

I don't know what I'm thinking. I still only work out once, MAYBE twice a day (if I make time for the second round). And that's only for, like, 45 minutes. As much as it annoys me, I know I'm going to have to change what I'm doing "cardio-wise". I have been doing 7 minutes on the stairs (because that's as long as I can stand it), 15 minutes on the elliptical, 10 minutes running/speed walking, 8 minutes rowing or biking. I know good and well that I need to stick with one form of cardio the entire 45 minutes to keep my heart rate consistent. But I get bored. If I'm outside doing an activity, it's fine. But, at the gym, I get tired of running or biking or climbing in place. So, TODAY, I'm going to start focusing on just one activity for the entire 45 minutes. I try to go to the gym at night after I'm done doing whatever I'm doing but I'm so tired lately because I'm still not sleeping well (even with sleeping pills that I take every night). I miss having a solid night's sleep. I never used to wake up in the middle of the night. :(

!!
yay for cabo! whee :D

not sleeping sucks :( it makes you all disoriented and blurry. you end up doing things you wouldn't normally >.<

as far as changing what you do, I don't think it matters, so long as you're not letting yourself cool down. your heartbeat generally stays high if you go directly from one to the other. I usually take a book, and use the elliptical withOUT the handlebars that move, for about 45 minutes, then hop on an excercise bike for another 15/30 minutes
all sweaty, and you get a slight reprieve in the form of cooldown. :D
plus reading helps
there's a geeks guide to losing weight somewhere online, and the guy who wrote it says you should do something that will distract you from the actual exercise, because exercise all by itself is BORING. he suggested playing video games :P
books for me, though magazines are common, as well as video ipods.
in any case.
:D
have fun in cabo!
and RELAX!
(boo)
