Well, I did another one and a half hours at the gym today, elliptical and recumbent bike thingie. I think I was pretty exhausted today as a result of yoga yesterday so I only managed 680 calories burned for the hour and a half. Oh well. Still making good progress. Still doing this, even though I have to do it alone - which is not necessarily my top choice. What is it about this process that makes everyone put on headphones and tune everyone else out? I'd rather chat with people while I'm working out, but it's not really an option. I joined the gym that Gary goes to, but he's never available to work-out together, and even if he was he expressly stated that he prefers to put on headphones and tune me out. I also considered the one Mike goes to, but it's a bit more out-of-the-way for me because I like to stop between my daughter's school (in the north end of town) and my home (just south of the gym I picked.) He also tends to work-out in the evenings and I seem to have a very full schedule in the evenings. When picking a gym, I chose the one that was convenient to get to because the time I'll be able to go doesn't seem to match up with anyone I'd like to go work out with. :( I'd like to figure out the weights, but I guess I'm still working on figuring out the classes that are available to me. Yoga kicks my butt... which I kinda need. I think I'm the only one in the class that's over 200lbs, and that's including the bigger guys! (some serious eye candy though) I think I'd like to try the Zumba class or a step and cardio class... will have to see how to fit it in with my current schedule.

On a different note, I also got some stuff for my cat to work-out with... a remote-control mousie toy, a laser pointer, and a doorknob hanger elastic toy that has feathers, bells, and a stuffed fishie. My daughter's having a great time getting him to spaz out a bit before bedtime. Maybe Westley will be ready for sleep when we are. *crossing my fingers*
