    • Another bike ride, but shorter today. And more leisurely. 3.7 miles in 30 minutes, 383 calories burned.

      I think I need to soak in the tub tonight. My legs are kind of sore, yes, but my poor booty is quite unhappy.

      • Was planning in an hour hike+hour at the gym for about 750 cals

        Ended up liking being outside too much....did a 2 hours hike for about 540 cals

        "killed" it by eating taco bell and drinking some mike lights....oh well....I am still under

        • Don't worry, Cat, I killed my workout calories burned by making fried fish and french fries for dinner. Bonus points cuz I like to dip my fries in mayo. Mmm...grease.

          • Wore pants today that I haven't worn in a while. Last time I didn't need a belt. Today I could pull them away from my waist and have 3 inches of space. The weight loss is the result of being sick, but I don't seem to have gained any of it back.

            • Thirty minutes on the exercise bike - 499 calories. Been off it a while due to warning signs from my knees. See how this goes.

              • Yesterday a co-worker asked me if I had been working out.

                Yes, I have been working out. It was nice to have someone see the results.
                I question my sanity every day. Sometimes it answers.

                • Always nice when that happens

                  I surpassed myself again today... 320 cals burned!

                  Was going to walk back home from the gym too, but part way my legs decided enough was enough so bussed the rest of the way.
                  Arp happens!

                  Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.

                  • Just did a 55 min lunch walk for 150 cals (or so sayeth my app)

                    Will (hopefully) be hiking up a smallish mountain this weekend, so that will be many cals all gone And good practice for Mt Washington

                    • 1100 calories went *blip* last night Of course, it took about 1.5 hours of cardio (stair climbing and arc trainer) to do so...but I'm not complaining. Still, I am a bit sore today, and will probably stay home from the gym tonight, and prepare a very warm bath to help relieve the pain in my shoulders and back. Not complaining about that either--no pain, no gain

                      • Went to the park today after work (71 degrees at 5 pm! Woohoo!). I stuck to the flat part of the path and didn't go around the hill (still coughing a bit and I get a little winded climbing the stairs), but it was a nice 20 minute walk.

                              • Did level 1 of 30 Day Shred on Friday night (no idea on calories but it was TOUGH!), 25 minutes on the elliptical yesterday (340 calories) and about an hour of walking at the Rodeo, including up a zillion ramps and steps to our nosebleed seats.

                                Then I ate some of the food there and felt my arteries harden. Oh well, it's an occasional treat.
