Dental work

Had a really good work out this morning on the stationary bike.  Did 7.9 miles in 20 minutes.  Big improvement from when I started and could barely do 5.  Figured I'd better get a good one in since I'm going in to have some dental work done today.  Am scared to death of the dentist but have to do what I have to do.  Just not sure how hard I'll be able to work out tomorrow am, if at all.  So wish me good luck and send a happy thought or two my way.

Starting over, yet again

So, just like so many times before I am working on getting healthy.  I know what to do.  Knowing is the easy part.  It's the doing that's hard.

This morning it was a 20 minute workout on the bike.  I did good.  I rode the equivalant of over 7 miles and burned 200 cals before work.  Have been drinking plenty of water and am watching my calories.  I'm not perfect at this and I will likely fall off the wagon a lot, but at least I'm working on it. 

I've kept about 30 lbs off for the last 2 years, now it's time to make the scale creep down again.  Thank you for the support from my friends and family and from the love and encouragement of my husband.

Walked around the neighborhood with Xandra after dinner.  I really wasn't feeling it but made myself go.  Was probably a good idea because I was so tired after work.  I had come home and taken a 30 minute nap.  Made spaghetti and sauce with fresh bread, it was good.  Probably ate too much today but getting my eating back under control is slow going. I will get there though.  Change doesn't happen in a day...
