29 miles on the bike today, and my knees and back are both feeling pretty darn good! I'm going to try to squeeze another ride in tomorrow before my family gets here, but I might end up with just hours of vigorous cleaning to my name instead.

Dec 19: 25 min jog/walk

Day 5 of 10

Body by Jake workout w/Marco Reed 20 min., Killer Core, 10 min. Made the kid walk the dogs but cleaned and moved a lot today. Next two days I have to bolt out of here by 8:30am or so, so workouts will be 30 min. max. Too busy this week. Everything needs to be done by 5pm Saturday.

I'm thinking ahead to January - about how to shake my exercise routine up a little. I may go back to Curves just twice a week (I joined over the summer and I'm paying for a year regardless, so I might as well). I never changed my eating, I wasn't doing any cardio. And I wondered why one month after joining that I gained 5 pounds. :dizzy:

Oh, and I got my signature today. :) Where's yours Loose Seal? ;)
