DAY 16 - I Want to Ride My Bicycle, I Want to Ride It Where I Like

First thing this morning I hoped on a bike in the cycling class at West County Fitness. It was rough riding. I don't know how many of you have ever cycled (if you have never taken a cycling class do it it is awesome) but those of you who have will know what I am talking about. Your groin area feels like you've slammed it down on concrete couple of times. It is very sore and hurts to sit down afterwards because the seat of the bike is formed in such a way that it is not built for comfort. But don't let that stop you because typically you will burn 700-1000 calories per hour (depending on activity level and weight). The crotch thing can be countered with a nice gel seat.

Today we weighed in for the pound plunge. I only lost 1.5 lbs. this week. I am really bummed because the other girls did that much at least. Not to diminish their hard work, but I know Christina and I are doing more exercise and eating a cleaner diet. I guess it just takes time and their bodies are probably responding better and quicker than ours. It is just discouraging when your working do hard and what your seeing isn't what you want.

Tonight we walked with the weights again. I really like it. Our pace has quickened and the time flies. I am glad I am not doing this alone. I am very thankful for Christina. My suggestion to those of you considering something like this would be to find someone to do it with you. Iron sharpens iron!

HIGH POINT: The feeling of energetic bliss I had after spin class this morning.

LOW POINT: Not seeing the results I want to see in the time I would like to see them.

Thanks for hanging in there with me ladies.
