I wasn't gonna workout bu!t I did the treadmill 2.5 speed for 1/2 hour and amazingly sweated more than when I bike or walked. Amazing! That's right Biggest Loser uses treadmill a lot. Probably due to constant speed it works good. Cool. I did eat at McDonalds for breakfast and Chipotle for lunch  and had breakfast for dinner. We'll see if I lost any pounds..

BIKED 4 MILES TODAY AND DID FLOOR EXERCISES LOST 1/2 LB!

I had my daughter with me today so I didn't bike as much only 4 miles. I did do the floor exercises with the 15 lb. weights. I lost 1/2 lb! I felt great!

I biked 8 miles today gear 6 and I pushed it!Gained 2 1/2 lbs because I ate too much calories.

I finished biking 8 miles today in 6 gear and I pushed it too! I did gain 2 1/2 lbs. only because I ate too much almost another full meal yesterday and I did a food taste test for $25. Spaghetti and sauce x 4 samples. I had fried fish and bbq chicken for dinner with rice and macaroni salad from Hawaiian BBQ. too much food. I haven't been used to eating so much lately. Hopefully I will lose it over next week or so. I feel great though for the most part and I am really getting fit!

I BIKED 8 MILES TODAY! AND I DID FLOOR EXERCISES WITH MORE REPS!

I reached the 8 mile mark on my bike riding today! I also after did my floor exercises and increased in some areas reps! my weight unfortunately has plateued at 255lbs. I got to lose more weight somehow, so my strategy may change. Oh, I bought 2 exercise videos from Walmart from Biggest Loser trainer people, One on Sculpting and the other on Cardio workout! Cool!

May 10 Biked in strong wind and rain 6 miles. Weight stayed same,better than up!

May 10,2010
I biked today for 6 miles, terrible head wind any way I turned!Rained on me to, but I made it before big cloudbursts! I weighed myself and I plateued just for today. Better than going up, I was worried,  i had ice cream two large scoops for mothers day with my mom and dad. My diet book does say to splurge 1 day a week so body doesn't think its starving and then you will continue to lose weight because you are telling your body there is plenty of food around.

Exercised on bike and lost 1/2 lb today!

I rode 6 miles around mobile home park today with a strong headwind too! Oh, I weighed myself today and I lost 1/2 lb!Cool!
I ate 2 scoops ice cream and chinese food today for Mother's day. We'll see if I gain any weight, I am not going to have any dinner and I had not too big breakfast just cereal and toast.
See ya!

just BIKED 6 MILES ON TOUGHER GEAR!

I just biked 6 miles around our mobile home park! I even did it in gear 6 the whole time! It was sure more of a workout than when I went six miles in gear 3. Good to know. My mom told me so. Even my arms and abs got a little workout. It was windy most of time so that gave me more resistance to fight against. I am finally enjoying exercise again in my life, last time this happened was when I did the Honolulu marathon, almost 11 + years ago, amazing!

LOST THE HALF POUND I GAINED YESTERDAY AND I WALKED 6 MILES

I Weighed myself today and I lost the 1/2 pound I gained from eating those cupcakes and not exercising enough. I walked the loop twice at San Leandro Marina which is 6 miles! I in addition to that carried 2lb. each hand weights that I bought from Walmart. My hiking friend recommended I get a pair. It worked awesomely! I felt sore in my arms, shoulders and stomach muscles. I am really feeling great like I am losing weight and getting healthy and fit. Can't beat this feeling! I am keeping my calorie intake which i am tracking daily under 2,500 for the most part. I just may lose all this weight that I have gained over the 10 years I was married and after the weight I put on by being unemployed and inactive. Cool huh?!

BIKED THE SAN LEANDRO MARINA LOOP TWICE-6 MILES

I BIKED YESTERDAY 6 MILES AT SAN LEANDRO MARINA LOOP! IT FELT GREAT AND NOT MUCH WIND EITHER EXCEPT ON MY BACK COMING HOME.

OH, WELL I WILL LOSE THIS EXCESS WEIGHT AS I WORK ON IT.

I will try not to eat too much. I plan on biking tomorrow.CIAO!

Today I walked home from church 2 miles! better than nothing.

Today I walked home from church tonight. I bought two small notepads for me to start a food journal of what I eat and an exercise journal of how much I walk,bike,etc. Then I am going to put all the data on an MS Excel spreadsheet and track my progress. Oh yeah, I am going to track my weight daily too!
So I walked 2miles from my church to my house tonight and I passed up temptation of McDonalds burgers and home run pies at CVS Pharmacy, I didn't even get my fat-free mango smoothie at Jack in the Box, I did great!
I may just ban eating any fast food from now on, we'll see.
I'm proud of myself and so is my Mom for walking home.
WORST THING HAPPEENED  ..... I almost CRAPPED my pants I had to go #2 so badly, but I prayed to GOd to help me and I was able to make it home and even to the toilet before I went. THANK GOD IN HEAVEN. If I had an accident I would have had to call my Mom and Dad and have them come pick me up on my walk. I feel so much better now, and I'm glad this was not the time to share an embarrassing story.
BYE.

i need to exercise poetry

Me and Dad biking

Me and Dad biking. Getting ready for a couple mile bike ride. It's nice to have someone to bike with. I encourage everyone out there to bike all you can and exercise many different ways. Just do it!
