Alexa--I promise that even if you only did 30 minutes on the elliptical, you would feel so accomplished! I always have reasons why I don't want to go to the gym (and I please know that I am NOT trying to desensitize the fact that you're in school and need to study) but if you really just only took 30 minutes out, it makes a world of difference! Make the gym part of your new lifestyle..you'll feel fantastic!
