'master blaster

i’m doing a challenge at the ywca, which encourages the participants to lose weight/gain muscle through food tracking and 1-2 hrs of activity/day.  i’m participating and it’s going well so far.  the only problem?  i needed to find a way to extend my workouts by half and hour to meet my daily quota.  as usual, i decided to challenge myself by taking something new on-THE STAIRMASTER.
seriously F*** a stairmaster.  ok, not really. but the stairmaster is hard.  treadmill, no problem. eliiptical, no problem.  but i get winded and soaked in sweat after 5 min. on the stair machine.  so i’m taking it on, and I WILL WIN!
yesterday i went on at a low level (slow) and did 15 minutes.  i was really proud of myself, especially after i figured out that my entire 90 min. workout burned 700+ calories.
heck yeah!  take that, stairs!
