Well... it was six days since I last took to the stairmaster. I went hiking four of the last six days, so I was still getting a workout. When I am hiking I get sidetracked and focus less on the workout and more on the aesthetic. Being in the gym keeps me motivated. I ran (or is that stepped?) for 70 minutes and the machine told me that I burned 1570 calories for my efforts. I only use the caloric meter as a stick for judging how hard my workout was... not as an actual assessment of how many calories I have burned.
For those of you who are interested, I've lost about ten pounds since I began working out eighteen days ago. I feel much better, much more energetic and generally less grumpy (this is good news for my friends!). I'm going home now... time to get drink some water and get some rest.
weight loss,
stairmaster
