Worked out today for the first time in a while, enjoyed it :)

Finally got around to going to my building's gym for the first time in a while!

I was a little worried, since I was wearing leggings and a sports bra (the longer kind that are more like a cropped-ish tank top), but it went well :). There were a few other people in the gym, mostly some buff guys and gals in the weight training areas but also a few other young women on the ellipticals and treadmills, so I felt less awkward taking my jacket off and starting up the machine.

I went about an hour before the gym closed, intending to go for about half an hour on the elliptical, but ended up going 45 minutes! Probably would have gone the full hour but I wanted to leave a few minutes before the gym closed so I wouldn't bother the staff. I really got into the groove, had my playlist of the more upbeat mamma mia songs playing in my earbuds and time flew by SO FAST. Burned a little over 400 calories according to the machine - I hear I should take with a grain of salt since the measurements aren't accurate, but either way I was already in a calorie deficit for the day and it was just a really good feeling! Had a protein shake when I got back and showered, now I'm comfy in bed ready for another good day tomorrow :)
