Day #32 - Too busy to work out?

Starting weight (7/15/08):  279.8
Yesterday:  265.8  Today:  265.2
Change today:  -0.6   Loss-so-far: 14.6 lbs.

I had an appointment this morning in a neighboring town and then after that I had to pick up my daughter to take her shopping for back-to-school clothes.  So I was up and out of the house by 9:30 am and didn’t get home until after 5:00 pm.  Hubby wanted to go out for dinner and then after dinner we had company until about 10:30 pm (my nephew and his family - I had a really enjoyable visit with my niece, she let me rave on and on about the low-carb eating plan and is thinking about trying it, woohoo!).

So anyway, no Total Gym time today.  Kevin’s at a friend’s house tonight anyway and it just wouldn’t be fun without him.  Besides, Kevin and I made a commitment to five days a week, not seven.  Five is good.

It’s 11:45 pm and I’m seriously considering putting a few miles in on the exercise bike.  LOL!  This is so unlike me, but I have found I really LIKE seeing the numbers on that scale move (they moved again this morning!), and on this diet - it’s the exercise that makes the difference.  I’M A FAT-BURNING MACHINE - as long as I do something, anything, to bring about the fat-burning!!!

Enough talking about it, I’m gonna go do it.  =D

Edited to add:

on the exercise bike

Hubby came in and took a picture while I was pedaling away.  I did 5.5 miles, the first part at about 14mph and then the last two miles I revved it up and maintained 16mph.  I feel better now!

By the way, that’s the movie French Kiss with Meg Ryan on the TV.  =D

    I’m so impressed that you exercised so late, after such a long day! I just had to write and tell you, because as little as it may seem, that really is something big!! I give you ten pats on the back! :-D
