Heh heh....oops

Um, yeah. I would be open to the possibility of the outside chance that I may, perhaps, have overdone it today on the elliptical machine. Maybe.

I wanted to see if I could do a full hour. I've been doing about 40 minutes and burning 500 calories. I did it for an hour and 6 minutes today and burned 800 calories. I felt pretty good until I'd been off the machine for about an hour, and then I felt less good. And then I crawled into the bathroom on my hands and knees to drive the big white bus. Note to self. Good intentions - bad outcome. Soooo....no more hour long elliptical sessions for a while. 500 calories seems like a good number, right?

I never said, "Diary of a smart white woman."

I did go for a walk yesterday with the menace. I only walked half the full distance, but I'm taking it. I also did squats and lunges while she was playing at the park. Happily there was no one else there, so I didn't feel like a total moron. This time.

There was major whining on the walk home though....and it wasn't even me. The husband is determined that we will not be taking a stroller to Disney World when we go, so we've been making sure that the little menace gets lots of time to walk and build up her stamina, without tiring her out too much. She's walked this particular distance several times before and never had an issue. This time it was a little warmer, and she was not a happy camper. Made me rethink the "no stroller" decision big time! I can just imagine a tired, hot, sweaty, whiny, little menace being dragged through the happiest place on Earth. Yeah. I don't want to be those parents. Also? I don't want to shell out the amount of dough that Disney seems to think their rental strollers are worth when we have a perfectly good umbrella stroller here. Now I just have to convince the husband that carrying the stroller through the airport and on Disney transportation for the week will not be the end of the world.
