My husband and I just got bicycles the other day in an attempt to lose all of the weight we gained eating Mickey D’s in a hotel room in FL. While he was in training for two months. Craigslist is definitely the way to go! We got both of them for $150 and mine is decent, but his is REALLY nice.
The South Beach Diet is going good for both of us… but we wanted something extra. Since the base is only 6.5 miles away, he is going to ride the bike to and from work. Lucky him, there is a bike path along the way that goes along side the Androscroggin River. It’s really pretty too! He made the drive home yesterday in 20 minutes!! And that was the uphill way! I totally could not do that though. I have been trying to drive around the circle road that we live on. I can make it TWICE and it isn’t even a mile. Maybe I’m not pushing myself hard enough, but seriously, my heart rate goes through the ROOF (180 beats per minute)! Yeah, and that’s not safe at all.
So I will not be riding with him for a while unfortunately.
I’ve been trying to wear my tennis shoes in the house so I can run outside and take the loop twice, come back in, do some chores, and go out again. I guess my endurance will eventually build.
I have broken down and am taking diet pills too though. I really want to see this weight go. They’re chinese diet pills called “two day diet”. I lost quite a bit of weight last summer with them, but also got really sick because they dehydrate you. So… I will try to have a bit of pedia lite now and then.
I just really really want to fit into last summers clothes by next month and see more progress on my curves weigh-in.
