lindsaydotcom | That which Lindsay hates must be conquered.

Today is day 2 of mobwife 's quasi exercise plan. So far I'm enjoying the morning workout (and even slept through until my alarm clock woke me up at 6, with only a momentary waking at 4:30 - progress on the sleep front!). I'm doing 30 minutes on the elliptical for now, and in another couple of weeks I'll add some additional minutes, and a couple of weeks after that I'll start using my freeweights for my arms. The thing I've come to recognize about myself is that if I don't watch out I'll fling myself into whatever I'm doing and then burn out shortly thereafter. I don't want that to happen, so I'm trying to work my way back into a routine slowly.

Only problem is that the darn elliptical machine squeaks very loudly when using it. I don't know why - B practically took it apart to make sure there were no problems with the way it was put together. Even though the machine is on the other side of the house from the bedroom and the door was shut, the sound was loud enough to wake Bryan up at around 6:30. So we'll see how long it takes until he asks me to go back to exercising in the evenings after I get home.

On the upside, we ordered new interior doors which should be arriving on Saturday, and today (today!!) we're putting a deposit down on new windows for the bedrooms and the master bathroom. Perhaps the new doors will cut down on the sound?
