The new cross-trainer (elliptical trainer) has arrived. First exercise of the day is carrying the blooming thing up the stairs. Phew! Even in bits it's heavy. Next exercise is of the mental variety - trying to put it together. Machine itself seems very strong and substantial (it'd have to be - who said that??!) but the plastic-casing-dust-protector-aesthetic bits don't fit together at all well and the screws are cr*p. The air was a teeny wee bit blue. I was on instruction manual reading, hubby was doing the nuts and bolts bits. But we got there, gosh it's tall. Have had a shotty, but need to read the manual to work out how the computer bit works. Looks quite clever!

How I started...
Hubby wanted us to get mountain bikes. It took a good few weeks and lots of soul searching to get from a)“NO WAY!! I could never do that!” to b)“Well…maybe…” to c)“Yeah! I think I can give it a go” to d) “Yes, let’s go to the bike shop” All the daft, mostly negative, thoughts of the day went through my head. What will the neighbours think? What if I fall off? Pictures of Dumbo pre-flight and flying. No bike will cope with my short-legged bulk! My face will go all red and sweaty, no - purple and sweaty! People will laugh at me. What will I wear? No way they’ll make bike gear in my size! You name it - I thought it. Funnily enough very rarely did I think of physical obstacles, mostly psychological ones! I’m not sure how I managed to get from a-d above. READ ON if you want to find out - it all started Oct 16th 2007...
