Today I went to my usual row of stairmasters and they'd been replaced with matrix "stair masters". I was intimidated but I went for it anyway. I had such a hard time. I couldn't get it to pause, couldn't figure out how to turn off the t.v. on it, couldn't figure out how to speed it up. I ended up getting off, going in a corner by the window, and shedding a few tears. I felt like I wished I was the type that could just quickly figure out machines but I'm really not. Also, I missed my old stairmaster. I went back and got back on again and eked out 15 minutes before I just decided to move on. I still did not have it figured out, and it didn't feel right.

Then I found two old stairmasters somewhere else and used one for 30 minutes. Probably it is only a short time before they get rid of all the old stairmasters. Technology marches on. I don't take to new technology easily. I still read paper books.

I'm with you on this. Every time they do away with an old piece of equipment, it feels like I have to learn to ride the bicycle again with all the new gadgets and knobs and whatnot. Why can't they just leave some things alone?

2017's coming to an end so it's back to the gym I go. DC will likely get a membership too. We're both going to work on getting back to Our pre-coupled bodies and maybe a little more off the top. In terms of resolutions, which I will post in the appropriate thread, I'm going to do a 44 by 44 plan.

There are 151 days from January 1st to my birthday. That is 21.5 weeks or a teensy bit more than 2 pounds a week. It's feasible. I just have to get up off of my duff to do so.

But not today.
