Wedding Work Outs

So, it came to my attention recently that I have gained some weight. This concern was confirmed by my mother who on her recent visit to Houston said "remember Jen, you have already been fitted for your wedding dress." True. It was time to take action. My solution, buy an elliptical machine. As most people know, my diet consists of Wendy's cheeseburgers, steaks and french fries and I only believed in running if someone was chasing me. Thus, my first romp with the elliptical machine lasted 10 minutes and I nearly required an oxygen tank. It is not clear to me how people can say they are "addicted to working out." The elliptical machine has preloaded work outs, which seemed ideal for someone as lazy as myself, until i realized the shortest workout was 20 minutes. My fitness self-esteem took a hit, but, none-the-less one week into my work out plan and i have now graduated to the 15 minute ranks. Austin (our dog) does not agree with the strange site of me working out. He barks at me while I work out. Chloe (other dog) won't even go in the office where the elliptical is. My response to their concern...."It's fine."
