No exercise stinks

So I think I took my last bike ride of the season on Saturday. Even with a tshirt, sweatshirt, yoga pants and a headband thing to cover my ears I was still freezing and I swear it was in the 50's. It's amazing how warm 50's can feel in the spring and how cold in the fall. Even if I felt warmer, the cold air on my face and in my lungs just made it miserable.

So I really haven't been able to work out all week because I've been busy with stuff and the weather hasn't really been walking weather either. I plan to use a free trial at a gym this weekend and if I like it I will join for the winter, but it stinks not working out all week because I am used to having those extra calories.

Today wasn't bad because every meal was pretty low cal, but my dinner yesterday, while fairly low cal still used up the last of my calories with no exercise calories to eat, and I caved and had a cupcake which put me way over. Come on Saturday, I need to get to the gym!

    Besides the cold it is to dark in the mornings! A few years ago I bought a treadmill. I like not having to go somewhere else to exercise. Even on snowdays I can still get my workout in.

    I've had a treadmill twice, got bored with it both times and sold them. I don't even like them at the gym all that much but they are standable. That's why I am only joining the gym for the winter, as soon as it's nice out again I'll be back out for my walks and bike rides. Besides that I don't really have the space or the noise tolerance (apartment) to have a treadmill.
  • I'm not a gym rat so I got a trainer for my bike. It sits in my living room and when I watch tv I ride. I even for a Spinnerval DVD with some pretty intense workouts on them.
