I forgot to post yesterday! Well, it was more of a busy busy busy day and ran out of time/forgot kind of thing.
So, weigh-in, no gain, no loss. I might need to shave off a couple of Weight Watchers points here. Hrm.
I did the machine yesterday (and yes, that's the elliptical/bike hybrid that I have, and lately I've been doing 5min bike, 5min elliptical cycles) for 60 minutes. I upped the tension, and honestly, I could have gone more, but I had things to do!
Today, it was raining, so I did the machine again, for 70 minutes this time. It was actually longer because I forgot to hit start on one of those five minute intervals. Whoops!
So, here's what I'm thinking. I do like having those long workouts. The extra points for eating is nice, and it's also good for my stamina. But I don't always have time. So, sometimes I'm going to keep the tension where it is now, or later as I get better, up wherever it needs to be, and other times I'm going to skyrocket the tension and get a good hard resistance workout in.

If you're upping your protein, expect to put on some muscle weight or break even at least! You need those muscles to be a good runner though. Ha ha, "THE MACHINE" makes me think of the torture device from The Princess Bride ;)
you're right, about the muscle and the protein. i just have a little extra around the middle right now that doesn't belong there, and so i know i need to lose a little bit. not a lot though, because i'm for sure putting on muscle! i saw myself in the mirror at swim class on wednesday, and my thighs don't jiggle! they are in fact toned!!
and lol! that's exactly why i call it the machine!! because it's my torture device! ;)
