Upper body exercises while on recumbent
I am wondering if anyone can suggest any arm/upper body exercises I can do while riding my recumbent bike? I've been making stuff up as I go, then added doing them while holding cans of mushrooms (10 oz), I now have moved up to cans of beets (14oz).

Need a boost and what to do about sabateurs
I am really worried that I'll have scale rage...or worse yet, that it will discourage me. I've decided to get weighed at the Dr.s office every 5 weeks.
