This week has been better than last. I've been good about getting on the elliptical for at least 30 minutes 3 times this week, went on 1 jog, and have gotten into the habit of doing crunches daily. Tonight, right before I was about to go down to the basement to exercise, our water heater burst and flooded. So change of plans- help sop up water and skip the workout because there won't be hot water to shower with for at least 24 hours. I have a condition called Reynaud's where my body overreacts to temperature changes, and taking a cold shower would not only make me super crabby, I would most likely lose circulation in my hands and feet for a good while. That horrible numb tingling is just not worth it...I'll try and find a friend's house to shower at tomorrow morning. This is when still belonging to a gym would have been helpful.

My rule (to help me waste less time AND exercise more) is that if I wanted to watch something on Hulu, I had to watch it on the elliptical. There's a new, tantalizing episode of House just calling my name right now, but the floodzone, just feet away from my elliptical, is still being worked on by other household members- what to do?
