So, here's the thing...
Charlie came over, said (basically) here's how you use this exercise equipment but it is so old and sucky that you'd be best just keeping with the cardio from the elliptical. I got through my 30 minutes--this time at level 12-14 resistance instead of level 1 (which was jarring my knees because of too little resistance). Well, I was pouring sweat after about 6 minutes, but on the crack cocaine of the elliptical machine exercise and music from the soundtrack of "The Beginning of My Longer Life" I busted ass and got it done. Then, the kids weren't there yet so I went to the crappy weight machines and did a few sets. I realized that I have to do one of the machines before the others because even on the lightest weight, it's hard for me. Charlie said I'd be best with the hand weights I already have, so I might give them a try. He said he started out really small with hand weights and felt like a wuss, but it's better to start small and work up.
Ok, so I'm working out at least 3 times a week. I'm going to check my weight at Christmas time. We shall see. Now heres the big thing...how do I fit all this in my life? I work homework with the kids, cook supper, and do a bit of housework, but I never seem to get it all caught up. Nor do I have time to do everything I need to do. Please let me know if you know the secret to having enough bloody time. At this point I'm doing everything I have to do, and very little of what I want to do. Is it that I'm just not organized or effective or working smart enough? Do real adults just get 4 hours of sleep a night? What the hell? How does this work, man?

I know I try to swim 4 times a week but only get in 3 but I figure that is way better than none which is how I got so fat to begin with.
