Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue....

...A Very Happy Valentine's Day To You!

I hope you all enjoyed this day full of love whether it be family, friends, or that special someone. Mine was fantastic! I was hot and sweaty all day. The gym is the best Valentine's Day date, I'm sure of it. Haha. I went twice today! And I surpassed my goal. woot. This morning, I burned 420 calories in about 40 minutes of cardio, switching between the elliptical, treadmill, and then elliptical once more. I also did some strength training, mostly legs. The second trip I spent an hour and 5 minutes on the elliptical and did interval training from intensities 4 through 9. This time around, I burned 700 calories! It felt really great, though I'm not sure how accurate the calorie counter is on these machines. What I look for is sweat. Honestly, if I'm sweating then I know that I'm getting in a solid workout and burning calories. Hopefully tomorrow will be productive! I tried to take it as slow as possible so that I wouldn't completely wear my body out...but I think that my endurance has improved greatly and that this whole losing weight thing is going to happen for me!

Okay, selection of the day. A little love is needed on this day
