bike stays

put on the biggest loser from tues night and got on the bike. i've found the key to not killing my ass on it is to get up for a minute or two every few miles. sure i had to get off after one to get something for jake. but then i just got up walked to the kitchen got a quick slug of water and got back on every 2-3 miles. in total i was on the bike 88mins. biked 15 miles! and burned 800 and something calories. like i said efors who knows if those stats are true but hey they are quite nice to see. so the bike is def staying. maybe i will try to build myself up to doing the full 26.2 miles one of these days. sounds like a challenge. either way as long as i'm on it a few times a week i think its worth keeping in the living room. esp when i was 156 this morning. i think i may need a new scale though. you've got to tap it wait for zero to come up and then get on. well quite a few times it kept coming up err instead of the zero and there was no good reason. it is pretty old so maybe sooner than later i'll get myself a new one. it also gave me 156 a few times. then when i went back like 5 mins later it gave me 154 2x. so of course another five mins i try again i got a 155 and two 156 so 156. very nice. guess the 15 miles paid off.
got in my tae bo cardio again already. go me. not sure what else i want to do today maybe the bike maybe the abs video maybe the biggest loser game. or some combination of any of them. we'll see what the day brings. no babysitting so i'm open. i've got the first season of ally mcbeal from the library. loved that show and its been so long since i've seen it the bike may win out so i can exercise and watch. :) it's been sitting on my shelf for a week already and should probably go back already. oopsie!
well it is friday isn't it so i guess my official lose is now 3lbs in 2 weeks. not to shabby esp. compared with my stats i found when sometime sit was only 3lbs in a month. i've still got two weeks to go here. i actually think i ate pretty good yesterday. have to remember that fiber needs to be my friend. when you eat it you feel fuller so anything with fiber is always better. when i'm fuller i eat less. hey doesn't that make sense. so when i was in the grocery store weds i bought myself some lean cuisine meals. they were like 4 for $10 or something so i figured what the hell. i had tried some once before again when they were on sale just to make some lunches for me easier. they aren't that bad. some taste pretty good. yesterday i had a quesadilla. can't remember exactly which one it was as when i picked it out in the store there were a few diff kinds. i'm pretty sure it had chicken in it. anyway the calories were great like 280 or something maybe 290. the fiber was 8 grams which is pretty high. but the sodium was like 800 milligrams or something which i believe is pretty freakin high. so its tough i mean the calories are what u look for first but there is other stuff to consider. it was ok. spicy for me but i ate the whole thing. and boy was i full after eating it. but would i buy that one again. most likely no.
whats funny is before i ate lunch as i was biking and watching the biggest loser i was getting quite hungry. well in the episode they have the orange team with jillian and she has to eat some of what they would have eaten in a day. so she starts uncovering the trays and its all taco bell food. and i'm like mmmmmmmmm. yummy! i could so go for some taco bell. sort of like that movie supersize me where all he ate every meal was mcdonalds to show how bad it was for you. well only stupid people eat it every meal and theres nothing wrong with it once in awhile and boy i couldn't wait to have mcdonalds after watching that movie. anyway so the biggest losre showed the calores with each tray and two were my favs the fiesta potatoes and the mexican pizza. i even rewound to read them and together they were something like 800 calories. so now to me thats like 88 mins on the bike i was doing. so put in that perspective its like eww. but it's still not going to stop me from going to taco bell. jillian went on and on about how it wasn't food. it was processed crap and oils and all that. all i was thinking was 'but its tastes sooo good.' when healthy food tastes as good and is as cheap as crappy food i'll start buying and eating more of it. in the meantime i may be having taco bell very soon now. :) all about the cravings. you see it you crave it.
i don't know why everything fried up in oil tastes so much better it just does. in 2007 i tossed my deep fryer. i was def using it waaaaay too much. like once a week or so. anyway for a long time i didn't fry up anything in oil. it was all baked. i still had fries and mozz sticks and even onion rings every now and then but i would put them in the oven. over the past 6 months or more i got back into frying things. i was thinking about getting a new deep fryer again. bad bad choice i know cause then it's too easy to do it. and i won't but the thought was there and the tastes were there more and more often. so i have to start again weaning myself off of it more and more. not frying anything in the house just treating myself once in awhile when i'm out.
