Instrument of Evil!!

I started going back to the gym about a month ago....My cords from last year didn't fit! They still don't fit! Anyway last year I was quite the gym rat. I loved going to classes and using the elliptical trainer. My dad was living with us so he was great about putting dinner in the oven etc. My Dad has since moved to the Philippines so I am back to being in charge of getting dinner on the table. Working out was great for my stress. My stress level was pretty high today with the "latest rumor" of referrals only going to September 7th! I headed to the gym with only 30 minutes to workout, I was told the stair stepper was a great workout in a short amount time. I was dripping in sweat in 10 minutes!! I didn't think I was going to make 30 minutes! I usually do the elliptical for 45-60 minutes 4 times a week.....I was dying on the freakin stair killer after 10 minutes. I am not kidding!! I was quite sweaty when I left the YMCA today,and a little less stressed about the wait....For the moment anyway.
