Exercise: Cardio triple-header at the gym: 15 min. Summit Trainer, 15 min. rowing level 6, 20 min. on treadmill at speed 3.7, incline of 7- kept a fast pace and would work with 2 4lb. hand weights for 2 min. & 1 min. without- alternating entire time.

Notes: Glad I made it to the gym this morning! Starting to feel even more like myself. It really helps that even though I have been a little lax lately, I haven't gained any weight. I clocked in at 129 this morning- SOLID! That definitely gave me more energy and determination today. After my cardio workout I hopped on the recumbent bike for about 5 min. just to try it out- seems like a good one, it is a nice new machine with a fancy-pants iPod dock. Excellent and good to remember in case I forget to charge mine in the future. It also seems like a good machine that you could do for a long time at a lower intensity. Had a calorie bomb for dinner (guessing- it was a huge portion!) The rest of my day was balanced and my friend really wanted me to take her to Urban Belly before she moves!
