Doh! FatLady, Doh!

Today started out like any other. I arrived at the gym 15 minutes early to warm up. I was up on the treadmill when I realized I forgot to put my fancy new watch on. So I shut down and went back to the locker room to grab my state of the art brazillion dollar workout watch. It maps my calories, heart rate, workout session, and so on and so forth. I put it on.

Back at the treadmill for my warmup, I was fiddling with all of the little buttons - at least 5 - trying to figure out how to get the thing to fire up. Along comes Robert and he congratulates me on remembering to wear the watch! I am still excited about it but point out that I have no idea how to make any of it work. I soon find out that the watch is actually not the heart rate monitor. It just records information from the heart rate monitor. The heart rate monitor is still in my bag in the locker room. That is what that black thingy with the strap thing is. hmmmmm

Needless to say, I suffered a lot of ribbing today. My new watch did not effectively record the calories I was burning...ah, because it couldn't. Doh! I am very excited to see how ALL of the pieces work together next time I work out.

In other observations, I was a total sweat machine again today. Some switch has flipped. My body is rejecting the water! I guess this is healthy!

I have not stepped on the scale yet. I am holding out for a few more weeks. I want my clothes to start fitting looser before I go to the scales.

Catch me Friday for the latest news...although I may blog sooner about the watch thing!
