Second Update

So this has been the first full week of my challenge and I have learned a lot! It turns out that there are a lot of tings that affect how your performance when working out! Some things that I have found that really negatively affect it are spending most of the day walking around in weather that is 90 degrees and nearly 90% humidity. Forgetting that you have to exercise and trying to do it at 1am really affects the next day! I have also found out that with just a little effort I have managed to improve my cardiovascular fitness significantly. Now the issues I run into are either that my legs get tired or I get really bored.

Day 4 Saturday 4:30pm:
I thought this was going to be my day! My wife and I had spent the morning at an arts festival and it was crazy hot but we came home and got some rest. I was getting an early start on my workout, I figured out how to put my name and height and weight into the elliptical. It was very nice and greeted me by name! But later I realized that it was being friendly so that I wouldn't suspect it when it tried to kill me! I put the setting on "Fat Burner" and it kept changing the ramp and resistance values and told me not to drop below 120 strides per minutes. I didn't make it very long that day!

I came home from work and made a nice dinner. My wife and I watched some tv and cleaned up the kitchen. We put Bart (our Yorkie) and Gabriel (our rabbit) to bed. I was brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed myself when I remembered that I had not worked out yet! Talk about a test of resolve! But I managed, I went and ran on the elliptical.
