Talk Me Out Of My Bummed-Outedness

My elliptical- my wonderful, wonderful elliptical, is broken. One of the pedal wheels is broken. I ordered the part ($100!!!!!) and got it and went to change it and it looks like I'm going to have to take half the elliptical apart to fix it. My dh, though wonderful, is not at all handy nor helpful. I have been on SUCH a good kick! I'm up to 40 minutes- 10 min at level 1 and 30 minutes at level 2. SOOOOO-

Of course I have other things to do- my Wii is broken and we're not replacing it until after the new one comes out around the holidays so I can't do my Wii Zumba. i do go to the Y for zumba 2-3 days a week, so that's covered. I have been walking in my neighborhood. I have TONS of The Firm videos, karen voight videos, etc- so there are lots of other options available to me.

So, just reassure me that even without my elliptical for who knows how long I will still lose weight! I've been doing so well- I guess I should get one of those fitbits to see how many calories I burn with the other exercise.

Just need my peeps to encourage me!!! LOL Reassure me that all those other things I can do are as effective (or is it affective? no, I think effective- this is the one that always eludes me).

Thanks for listening. No one but DH and my mom know I"m banded irl, so I NEED all of you

you're going to be fine. You will just have to find something that you enjoy doing and works for you as well as the elliptical. Are there any other classes at the Y you can try? Do they have ellipticals at the Y?

They have tons of stuff at the Y but I don't always have the time- I want stuff I can do at the house......that's why my very own elliptical was so wonderful...
