7 minutes of pure HELL!

So I was feeling guilty tonight about not working out for the past 10 days so I decided that it would be a good idea to change it up, dust off the elliptical, and hop on for a few minutes.

Within the first 30 seconds my legs were burning. After a minute I felt like my legs were going to break off. Then I decided to go backwards to see if it would help lessen then pain. Wrong! I got a split seconds reprieve while the elliptical was catching up but then I just started burning in different places.

All the while I'm doing this, Matt is coming in and checking on me to see how I'm doing; asking me if it's getting better as I'm getting used to it...making comments that it gets easier for him as he goes. I gave him a dirty look and told him that it wasn't getting easier for me because I'm so damn out of shape.

Finally, I decided that I'd had enough after seven minutes. My legs have never felt more jell-o-like in my life.

How in the world am I going to build up to 30 minutes at this rate???
