Oh, I’ve been busy on a project. I can be sitting right
there next to the machine, but I wanted to finish one more part of my project
& then I realize that I really need to just give my few moments to this
workout to really get that accomplishment so that I can get my days’
accountability on. So there I was, for a second day in a row, opting for the
elliptical over the bike. Wow. I really get it; I know why. It’s because the
bike doesn’t have an automatic way to work my arms as does the elliptical.
There have been times in the way ago past when I strategized my hand weights
simultaneously. I’d be sitting on the bike & really feeling that my arms
needed to be doing something too. This all was, of course, before I owned an
elliptical.
I didn’t feel that the elliptical & the bike (with arm
weights) are an equivalent workout & I do hope to soon figure out a way to
re-incorporate the weights with the bike. Much of this will be with
strategizing a location from which to pick up the hand weights while sitting
atop the bike. Really, it could be that simple.
The other reason why I don’t like being off the bike for
too, too long is that I had to then sort of re-introduce the bike to my body.
My butt muscles & bones adapt & get used to the bike’s seat, but when I
don’t use the bike for days (maybe around a week or more) I endure what I think
of as “second day soreness” all over again.
It’s strange, I don’t care for the format of Dateline, but
definitely enjoy Rock Center (also enjoy Brian Williams as host). When my DH
& I were reminded that Rock Center would be airing tonight while watching
NBC Nightly News, we both basically said, “Yeah, we’re going to watch that.” I
think this is part of the reason why I kept on my project until close to 10
p.m. I’d watch Rock Center while on the elliptical & he could also watch
then as well.
Well, part way through Rock Center I went to call on him. He
said he’d be resting in bed which was just a few short feet away. I called to
him from the doorway, completely planning to state that he’d missed the first
five story lines or half the show. Well, when I said, “Hey, are you awake?” He
didn’t say anything. I therefore hopped on the elliptical & did my thing.
I was working on some afterward stretches & wiping off
sweat when Brian Williams began the last ten minutes of the show. He spoke
about the show’s first air date which I assumed would just go into a point he’d
be making. Well, it was. The point was about the accomplishments of what
actually was the rather low rated show. Oh my. Yep. I had just watched the
finale; the series finale that is of
Rock Center.
Why is that? Why is it that Dateline is still streaming
strong, but Rock Center, a good & decent show that I would prefer to have
on at 9 p.m., rather than 10 p.m., just couldn’t hack it? What a bummer!
I should have gathered that something was up when Brian
Williams made, what he called, “a final plea” to watch Rock Center in the final
minutes of the Nightly News half hour.
June 21 accountability – Elliptical 1000 RPMs at 10:30 p.m.
