Elliptical down, Elliptical down!!

Thank you to those who have commented here lately, when I created this blog I really only created it for myself but I have found recieving comments and visiting other peoples sites who are also losing weight is very motivational :)
Worst.News.Ever though…well, not quite, but my home elliptical broke last night. I have had it since November and used it happily for 5 days a week since, last night after a few minutes use it started to make this awful grinding noise, after another few minutes it became more and more difficult to use. I stepped off it and had a poke around, trying to see if I could work out where the noise was coming from. When I got back on it a few moments later it would simply not move, not an inch, not even with two people on it trying to get it moving - what the heck?! Does any one happen to have any idea what might have happened? I have contacted the place I bought it from and they have said to return it, but they no longer sell that one so it won’t be replaced…that means I will be without a home machine for many weeks as I try and find a reasonably priced replacement…so I would much rather fix it. Has the flywheel gone? Has the magnetic thingy gone?

Ahh, I just don’t know what to do with myself without it. I am not yet ready for working out in public. I’d go out and buy some sort of fitness DVD but of course my DVD player just happens to be broken also. Ha. Oh what to do what to do.
