still 157

not surprised there. i didn't do all too much yesterday and when i did do the 8minutes it was no longer tiring me out and i felt i needed to do more. 2moro will start a new dvd that is longer and more challenging. just didn't get to it today. barely made it here.
i walked while watching the biggest loser yesterday. well for an hour of it anyway. wasn't too easy with roxie crawling around but she was pretty good. while i was watching and walking i got a great idea. i was planning on taking the xmas tree down when i had finished and then watching the first challenge when they had to bike a marathon i thought oooh i could get the exercise bike in here where the tree is. my sister gave me hers a few years ago. we've never had room in the house for it so it's stayed outside and gets some use in the spring and summer. but now that we moved things to get the tree in the living room i figured why not put the bike in its place till spring again adn then move it back outside. i'm sure my husband thinks i'm nuts. i gave him a head up text about it but he never really responded to it.
heres my thinking, we live in that living room. i'm going to feel guilty sitting on my ass watching tv on the couch while the bike is sitting right there. i also want to see if i could bike the damn 26.2 miles they had to on the show. so right there i've got a challenge for myself. well by the time i got the tree down put away and moved the bike in it was onto other things like homework and projects for school oh and a little thing called dinner for the kids. at that point i was done so needless to say i didn't even sit on the bike. well thats not true i made sure it was stable when i positioned it in the room but that was all.
the kids had fun riding it. they were all on it last night for a little bit. and jake had some fun this morning. had to get out and get some shopping and things done but once i got home i put on a movie and got on the bike. i love watching tv and movies and vegging out. if anyone remembers when the whole term couch potato came out they sold things like stuffed animals and a board game. well i had both of those i was the couch potato and quite proud of it. i'm also a big fan of eating all kinds of potatos. can't tell you what became of my stuffed potato but whatever. i'm not going to stop watching tv and movies but maybe i can do a little more exercise than just walking while i'm watching. so the bike should help motivate me in the right direction.
i did 10 miles today. and it took me a little less than an hour. i burned something like 550 calories. thast one of the fun things about this bike. it gives you all that info i juts hope its right. anyway i figured 10 was a good starting point since the biggest loser show has team so each person had to do about 13 miles to make the 26.2. my legs were killing me when i got off and i just wanted to lie on the couch after that but i knew if i did i probably would be able to stand after that so i had to walk around a bit. i'm not sure if i'll do i again tomorrow, we'll see how my legs feel. it may have to be an every other day thing.
eating has sucked so far today. i had to go pick up my paycheck before of course having the $ to go shopping with and anytime we're over there jake knows grandpa's house is near. so he harass' me until we stop. and being the good grandpa he is theres always some kind of yummy snacks around. so i helped jake eat some oreos and a more than a few cheese balls while we were hanging at granpas. i've tried to be good with sode, though i love it soo much. i know it's quite bad so i try to save it as a treat and don't buy it all that often. my dad only drinks coke and has lots of it on hand always. so at dads i treat myself. i stuck to a small paper cup today but i believe thats still about 140 calories in a few swallows. it is such a waste of them but it tastes so damn good.
