Week 17

So as I stated in my last post, I got sick towards the end of last week, and so this week has been interesting as  well.  Dealing with the illness, looking for a job, subbing, and visiting with family has made it very busy.  However, because of my illness I didn't work as much as I should have, since I wasn't exactly feeling up to it.  But most days I did exercise, in fact, while I was exercising my body actually felt better.  I've just found that riding the bike is not getting to be as much of a chore as it used to be.  So this week I used my bike's preset workouts.  I started with the first one towards the end of last week, and so during the middle of this week I tried out the second workout.  They are challenging, but they also help to keep me focused on pedaling.  I have also noticed that most days instead of just pedaling 10 mph, I am now pedaling at about 12 mph.  I am even doing that when the resistance goes up, which is a big deal for me.  But I'm still not even that focused on it, I just ride the bike and watch a show.  It has just become a part of what I do.

Here's what you've been waiting for:  283 (current weight) - 150 (goal weight) = 133 pounds to go!!!!

Goals for this week:

• exercise everyday for an hour (at least half an hour)
• eat more fruits and vegetables
• stop eating when full
