Exercise: 15 minutes on the recumbent bike (doesn't get my heart rate up but I feel it in my muscles and I sure do sweat!), 15 minutes summit trainer (def. gets my heart rate up!), 25 minutes on the treadmill walking fast-paced on an incline of 5-7, every few minutes would walk pumping 4lb. hand weights for 2 min. Rode my bike to and from work & the gym and took the dog for a leisurely 35 minute walk.

Notes: Man, I really need that second cup of tea around 2pm! If I wait too long I feel really sluggish. It took everything in my power to ride home against the wind today, BLAH! I plugged everything into Daily Plate again today and went a little over my calorie goal- thanks to crazy snack-attacking. I just love food. I love it. I want to eat it. I don't care. Since my stupid "calorie goal" is set to lose 2 lbs. a week I am probably doing alright anyways. I just wanna be real honest about everything I do/eat on here. Good and bad, you get it all!
