It's good to be back online

My laptop decided to quit last week. I was running on battery operation & I it down, to save the battery. Then I decided to log back in & for some reason, windows wouldn't load properly. It was extremely annoying. This was Thursday night. Friday morning, I took my precious laptop into Circuit City. I felt so lost without it. My kitchen counter looked so empty, without my laptop sitting there. So I waited & waited & waited. Waiting is not one of my strong suits. I can't help it. I try. I just really have a hard time waiting. So I called Monday. And Tuesday. And Wednesday, when they finally told me that it was just about ready. So now I am back online.
What have I been up to this week? Let's see... I felt like I didn't really have a great week. I skipped going to the gym on Monday & missed doing my crunches a couple of days. I also didn't feel like I ate as well as I should have. I was expecting a weight gain & seriously considered skipping my ww meeting Tuesday night. I still lost .6 lbs. I was thrilled! So now I am back on track. I didn't really want to go to the gym today. My back was aching & I was feeling really tired. But we went anyways. But everything felt great once I hopped onto the elliptical machine. My back stopped hurting. My tiredness went away. I happily... I am not sure what verb to use for using an elliptical machine. It's not really running. It's not really cross-country skiing. What do I call it? Elliptical-ising? Elliptical-ing? I digress. I was on the elliptical machine, happily listening to TLC on my mp3 player. I just closed my eyes & concentrated on not singing out loud. How embarrassing would that be? It was a great workout. No, it was an awesome workout. My machine decided to have a mind of it's own & change the resistance settings, but it felt great. I think I may not have been pushing myself enough. But now I know that I am ready to move on to a more challenging level.
