Today was my Cardio day. 50 minutes on the Elliptical. Felt friggen AWESOME! Until I got off the machine, and almost collapsed due to the fatigue in my legs. Still, I am that much closer to my 60 minute goal.
Here is the downside (possibly an upside, I'll explain later...) to all this working out. My body heats up, and I sweat. I am not a stinky sweater (prolly TMI), but my head, and neck get pretty drenched. The issue is I continue to sweat up to an hour or more after I have STOPPED exercising. Yup. My heart rate, and body temp take a while to cool down I suppose. Very inconvenient. Here I am, all dressed up in my work duds and my body won't turn the water faucets off. The only upside is, if I continue to sweat I must still be burning calories, correct? Lets hope...
I used to hear a phrase "Sweats like a Pig", but it turns out that Pigs don't really sweat, as they have very few sweat glands. So, I do NOT sweat like a pig. I sweat more like a low pressure shower, that's it. I hope that as my body gets more and more in shape, that I sweat for less time.
There you have it. Been a good week so far, 3 days of working out left - lets see what other goals I can reach...
