A new day, a new workout

My ipod wasn’t working this morning (who knew that in a week it could lose a charge?) so I didn’t run as much as I would have liked today. I managed 1.25 miles and then moved on to this piece of equipment:

It’s the AMT 100i by Precor. Quite a different machine and quite a different workout! It looks like an ellipitcal, but it’s much harder, I think. It really works your muscles in differfent ways & also gives a good cardio workout. I did 25 minutes & managed 2 miles. My strides per minute were slower than I’d have done on an elliptical, but I think I worked harder. And it’s cool because if you change your stride slightly, the machine adapts and gives you a different workout. So you can go from stairmaster to elliptical like movements just by changing your stride. I think I might have to hit the gym tomorrow to make up for my lack of running today because I’ve got to get some more miles in before next Saturday’s 5-mile race!

Moving on: Fat Tuesday/Super Tuesday. Anyone celebrate for Mardi Gras yesterday? Did you vote if you were in one of the 21 Super Tuesday states? I lived Fat Tuesday up to it’s name by eating lots of junk. Like I needed that. And here in PA it wasn’t a voting day, so I didn’t vote yet. But I did see some interviews on the Early Show with the candidates & it solidified who I’m going to be voting for.

Since I didn’t exercise yesterday and ate like a fiend, I decided to treat myself and get my nails done (LOL). I absolutely LOVE the way Dan did my nails. He’s amazing & I’ve been seeing him for a few weeks now. Check this out:

Dan doesn’t do the designs, his wife, Nina does & she did an awesome job, too. I love the color (Nina picked it - it’s called The Thrill of Brazil by O.P.I.) I’m so bad at picking colors - I normally pick something that’s really old-lady-like and end up hating it within a few days. I’d have never picked this color, so I’m glad Nina suggested it. Now let’s see if it’ll last until Valentine’s Day. The polish usually starts to wear off on the edges after about a week.

SMJ: Did you see that Shabby Miss Jenn has 3 new lil kits in her shop? They’re so fun & I’m working on a few LOs with them. I hope to get them finished & posted in the next day or so. The new ones are Cheerful, Playful and Shabbyful and they all are fabulous!  Until tomorrow…have a great day & happy scrapping!
