So I have been working out for 15 days. I wanted to do 6 miles on the stationary bike under 20 minutes. Today I did it and was just so proud of myself I did in in 19 minutes 23 seconds. I continued and in all I did 9 miles in just under 30 minutes.

    That is great. Way to push yourself. My goal was last night to run on the treadmill for 60 minutes. I did it and ended up running 6.2 miles in that amount of time. Think that I was too tired to cry.

    Oh my gosh - you are awesome! I don't think I have ever done a MILE in less then 20 and I'm not kidding. I would jog infront of the gym teacher on "mile run day" and walk (... uhhh more like doddle) the rest of the way.

    I'm proud of you!! Keep it up!!

    That's awesome!!! Not just for the speed but for being able to sit on the stationary bike for half an hour! I can only do 10-15 minutes and it feels like my bum is going to fall off! LOLLL

    Glad somebody is getting somewhere. I'm getting nowhere. Crazy schedule is messin' up my exercise and eating. I'm lucky I get the time to exercise let alone log in and record it all. It takes so long to do the logging. I feel like crying a lot of times anywhere. So discouraged. The gym I go to is basically a fishin' hole for pickin' up the Barbie Doll type chicks. I found a guy's wedding band on the floor and turned it in. If the dude hadn't taken it off and put it in his pocket so as to appear single, he wouldn't have lost it. I may have saved his butt. In some of the classes, these younger guys are right in front of the class so they can check out the one really hot chick that does some classes. It's difficult working out in an environment where the pretty people are girating into seductive and revealing positions while the dudes are clearly their for the view and then the rest of us late 40's schlubs struggling in the back row just to do some of the stuff much less look ever look like the Barbie Doll leading the class. Urban Active is such a pick-up joint here! Just makes you feel like why bother. I'll never look like that anyway no matter how much weight I lose. You either got it or you don't and men only seem to care about the body and not about the mind, heart, or soul. Outward beauty is fleeting but society puts so much emphasis on it that if you are less than attractive, you're a second class citizen. It's enough to make anybody cry.
