OK, so I rode the stationary bike for 4 miles today, and my legs feel like rubber! God this is going to be a long journey!

I did not want to go to the Y at all today since I woke up with a slight headache and just felt sluggish. But then I remembered that I had gone to JC Penny and the mall yesterday with the kids and saw all these cute clothes! I really want to wear cute clothes and not feel weird wearing them, and I want to be able to wear shorts this summer! And the kicker was when I weighed myself and I haven't lost a single pound since last week! So I threw my workout clothes on and went to the Y.

Once I got there I felt better knowing I was doing something good for myself. Once I got on the bike my own personal sense of competition kicked in and I kept riding until my legs protested. I started out on the treadmill to warm up and did that for 10 minutes at a pretty good pace. At that point I switched to the bike. The Y has these really cool stationary bikes that have monitors on them and you can ride in the redwoods or along the beach or other trails, and you can listen to music! Listening to Ozzy Osborne really gets your blood going and makes me ride faster!

Tomorrow I plan on swimming again. I swam last Friday and completed 200 yards. Tomorrow I will try and swim just a little longer.

This is a weird journey cuz the more I work out the more I realise just how out of shape I am, yet I feel better each time I do it.
