I'm in mourning

My beloved Elliptical machine is broken. Not fixable. I'm sort of kidding but I did cry. It is one of the main reasons I was able to lose 40 pounds. It's been there for me 6 days a week for the past 8 months. I very much enjoyed using it. If they were $50, I would just go buy a new one but they definitely aren't. Bummer. So, now I'm trying to decide if I should just try to make do with Excercise TV on On-Demand, or bite the bullet and buy a new machine. And, if I buy a new one, should I wait until January when all that kind of stuff is on sale? Decisions, decisions.....
