Love the Bike

I rode my bike today. If I could get a thirty minute ride in every day I would be golden! Here are the stats:

Time: 32:42
In zone: 28:38
Avg hr: 142
Max hr: 163
Calories: 221
Rode about 6 miles

So, burned more calories (kept my heart rate up better) on the bike. I'm thinking riding is a good supplement to the couch to 5k deal. I really enjoy it too. It's hard but more bearable for me. The problem is I can't just ride out of my driveway. The street I live on isn't exactly safe for riding, so I've got to load the bike up and go somewhere and it's kind of an ordeal. Riding consistently probably won't happen until daylight savings times returns. But, as long as the weather holds out, I'll ride again Sunday and then some at the end of next week when I'm off again.

After all of my exercising yesterday, I was still up a lb and a half today. Bummer. Hoping tomorrow looks better. I'm not going to have pie for dinner tonight I think. I feel great though and I've only been focused on the exercise bit for about a week and a half. My body may not show it yet but mentally I feel really good, which is just as important.

throw up for half the night - i was down 4 lbs this morning.

i might take weeks for you to see movement on the scale. try not to get to into the scale. it just brings depression when the number isn't what you want.
