Defenestrating Thoughts from the Bivouac

We finally got our Elliptical Machine delivered today, so I have no excuse to not work out and lose some weight. After a long search — these machines are pricey! — we settled on a Life Fitness X3 Advanced. It was one of the few machines I found with a nice stride and since it was last year’s model, we got a reasonable price.

It’s set up in the family room in front of the TV. And since it’s big and conspicuous, hopefully we’ll use it often and I’ll slowly transition from a nerdy, overweight Indian to just a nerdy Indian. :-P

As an added incentive I’m tracking weight, resting heart rate, calories burned, and a few other stats. In a few weeks, I’ll have enough data to make some graphs that hopefully trend in a healthy direction. And in a matter of months, I can make a Powerpoint presentation! (Don’t worry, I’m just kidding.)

As soon as it was delivered, I did a short 30 minute workout; I better workout tomorrow too — no excuses!
