GOOD JOB on your workout! eww... wow. the dreaded stairclimber! I couldn't last 5 minutes on that thing! 30 minutes? wow. Years ago I was able to do 2 laps of the bleachers, now, I can't even fathom it FOR NOW. I'm still trying to get my stamina back, level 7 fat burner or cross training program for 45 minutes(on elliptical)... i hit 191 bpm at one time(kinda doing my own interval training); I thought my heart was gonna jump at my throat! I'll give the stairclimber a try again one of these days. I slept in today. It was my day off. I'm going this afternoon though. Still not gutsy enough to do the stairs.

It's sweet of you to be concerned that I might get burned out with my training. However, I don't think I'm that hard on myself in training. Couple months ago before I got sick with acute bronchitis, I used to stay on the elliptical for an hour 15 min to burn 1000 calories. I'm still pretty athletic even if I haven't been consistent. I even welcome the after effects of working out: the dull pain, the slight inability to bend forward as I get up from my bed... it's all good signs that I'm making progress. It's just now that I'm putting it as a priority before sleep and leisure since I changed to part-time cuz my truck is all paid off. Aside that, Mid terms are coming up and I should be studying right now. EEEK!
