The Stair Master

So I don't think that I'm working today. I got up with Tim so that if my lady calls me to work all I have to do is get dressed and straighten my hair. If she doesn't call, then I have to go running. Got up with Tim yesterday and went to the gym. I like the gym but not when you have to wait for a machine and watch all the muscle heads around. I'm not sure if I mentioned this before but my ellipitical is broken, thus, the reason for running. So I was watching this show on TV about how fat people go on a diet and they get some help from a trainer but for the most part they are on their own. Well the trainer said that the ellipitcal is one of the worst things for you. While it might improve your cardiovascular fitness it will only do so on the ellipitical. Does that make sense? Okay say you go up a large flight of stairs at a decent pace and when you get to the top you are winded. You wonder why am I winded, I do the ellipitical for 45-60 minutes a day. The ellipitical is not a normal motion so when you do normal motions your body isn't use to it, therefore, using muscles that you don't normally use when you are doing the ellipitical. Make sense now. Now back to the point of my story. Since I broke my ellipitical and I found out this new information I told Tim that I wanted a stair master right. Well the only one that I can get is like $1800 and it doesn't even look that great. I would have to buy is online through the BX/PX exchange and I can't even play with it before I buy it. Of course the fitness place doesn't have one for me to play on either so I guess I'm SOL. Kinda pissed, really wanted a stairmaster and there isn't a stadium where I can run the stairs anywhere around here either. Such is life.

Last night Tim and I put my new scrapbooking table together. I have been getting severe neck pain probably from the extra weight that I carry on my chest, thus, the diet. But I can only look down for short periods of time. So while I want to do more scrapbooking, I can't cause my neck hurts so bad. Well I found an easel table and I get to try it out today, whenever I can find my desk, my room is a mess. I also have about 50 other things that I have to do as well so we'll see how much I get done. Okay, off to do stuff.
