I'm doing all I can - to have a better day

I didn't manage any exercise yesterday but I tracked my points (19) and drank 2 litres of water.
My goal this week was to stay on or under 20 points per day, drink at least 2 litres of water and do 15 mins of exercise.

I have just finished 30 mins on the exercise bike (to make up for not doing anything yesterday). I 'rode' 12 km and burnt 263 calories. My stats for the bike I think were better last time (15 mins, 7.5 km and 150 cals) going on that in 30 mins I should have done 15 km and burnt 300 cals, but this time I moved the little intensity thingy (yes that's a technical term!! hehe) up a notch and the calories don't burn any quicker just because the intensity is higher. At least they didn't seem to. I also put the intensity up to '4' for one whole song and that nearly killed me!! hehe

I nearly did a Bridget Jones when I got off the bike cos my legs were like jelly!

Must go and get ready for work now. I feel like i'm going to have a better day today cos I feel in control.

I've been doing 8 second intervals on the bike ie. sprint for 8 seconds, recover for 12 seconds, repeat... and repeat and repeat. It's supposed to be the best way for zapping fat I read somewhere. Not sure if that's true but it stops me from getting bored.

Well done on yesterday.

Cheers to feeling in control babe! I reckon it's so beneficial to swear your head off and stamp your feet so you can get it out of your system. Now your kicking butt again :-)
