Good (OK, great!) and still working on it...
Yesterday I ran on the elliptical for a mile. Is it called running? IDK
But, nonetheless, I "ran" on the elliptical for a mile in UNDER 13 minutes!! It was my goal, and I did it! I was so stoked!
I felt like I was on a mammoth exercise high for most of the night.
I wonder what a realistic goal would be for me to get a mile out...I don't know, but I have cut 2 minutes off my previous miles.
This morning I finished watching The Biggest Loser, and I rode for 45 minutes, 9 miles, 450 calories!
That makes five days in a row on the bike.
I don't think I have lost much weight this week, at least that's my guess before I weigh-in tonight, and I will be frustrated because I have been ON FIRE in the exercise department.
I am drinking all my water, and I am eating GREAT all day (even tracking) until night. Now, at night I am not snacking, but I am eating too much dinner, I think. I am not paying attention to dinner portions, and I am not tracking it. I need to get on that.
But, you would think with ALL the exercising that I would have some big results. SIGH.
I will definitely update what the scale says this evening.

I love my exercise bike!
So, for the past four days in a row, I have rode my recumbent bike for 45 minutes, 500 calories, and 9-10 miles :)
I just realized this morning that I have basically rode all the way to Brewster!
That makes me actually want to get my real bike a tune-up, which I still have not done!! Then I can get out and ride it around, too.
I did enjoy watching The Biggest Loser while I was riding this morning! It was VERY inspiring, and I actually rode harder today.
I am really into the swing of things with exercising! I am so proud of myself, as I have not missed a day of walking at lunch during the work week, with this being the third week in a row!
I actually have done some form of exercise, with the minimum being a one-mile walk, every single day of April so far!!!!!
Yeah!

DVR, Oh How I Love You
LOL!
I thought about writing an ode to my DVR, but then thought that was definitely over-the-top in the cheese department.
I have a new tradition going, and that is riding my recumbent bike on Saturday mornings and watching Survivor.
This equals a forty-five minute ride (with fast forwarding through the commercials)!
I also did a repeat of this on Sunday, watching The Real Housewives of Orange County (and the New Jersey preview), and then this morning I watched the reunion show of Rock of Love.
Now, I don't feel so guilty watching those stupid shows when I am riding the bike!!!
Also on the exercise front, we headed out for a ride up on the Loup in the Sweat Creek area.
We were about an hour into our climb, and that's when we noticed GI-NORMOUS bear tracks!!! They were fairly fresh (either earlier in the day or maybe the day before).
Since we did not have our rifle with us (just our .22 pistol), we decided to head back down to the truck.
We did get an hour and forty-five minute ride in, and we planned on eating lunch and then heading out again, but staying down a little lower.
But, Rick's horse caught his stirrup on the trailer, and it ripped off, so our day of riding was over.
I was actually OK with that, and I am glad that we will be back in the saddle next weekend, but with our rifle along. Just in case.
I so love being out riding. We saw a coyote, and tons of birds and even butterflies. The air is so clean and crisp, you can't help but feel ALIVE!
Truly, I think this is the best exercise ever!!!
